About

Welcome to Read By Dusk!

This is the place for dark fiction books that can thrill, scare and haunt you! These books are primarily from the horror genre, but mystery, thriller, and Nordic noir are also available here. I share reviews and recommendations, as well as reading lists, essays, news, and other bookish information I find interesting.

Take your time exploring this blog and hopefully, you will find new books to add to your list!

Behind The Blog

Hello, I’m Aina, the woman behind the blog! I’ve been a huge fan of horror ever since I was introduced to RL Stine’s Goosebumps and Fear Street series when I was a kid. Then I discovered Christopher Pike’s young adult fiction, before jumping into Stephen King and Daphne du Maurier’s brand of horror, and the rest of the world of horror fiction. I’m also hooked on crime fiction and psychological thrillers. The more twisted, the better!

I read books by indie and trade publishers, and I love discovering new authors. I’m open to promoting and giving a spotlight to books on my blog and social media. Check out my services page for more info.

Please read my review policy before sending in book review requests. Feel free to drop me a line at my contact form if you have any questions. Thanks for visiting!
