[Novella Review] Food Fright by Nico Bell

October 15, 2020      Erica Robyn      5 Comments

Food Fright by Nico Bell is a fast-paced tale about food and revenge. Did that catch your interest? It sure got me!

If you’ve got a croissant sitting around, you may want to eat it before you dive into this novella. Otherwise, you may end up side-eyeing the pastry later on…

Let’s dive in!

My Thoughts on Food Fright by Nico Bell

After hearing about the brownie monster on the Dead Headspace podcast, I knew I had to dive into this one right away. This book certainly lived up to the level of bizarre food horror I was expecting!

When the story begins, we meet Cassie, a girl that just wants to fit in with the popular girls on her soccer team. But when a initiation goes sideways and merges with another event that had been going on in the school, one of the girls dies in a very gruesome way.

The surviving girls promise not to tell anyone, but when they begin to die mysteriously one by one, they realize that the ghost of their friend is back for revenge.

My goodness. Let me just tell you that the one scene with the croissant coming out of the oven will be haunting my dreams. The image of that was SO vivid in my mind. When I make another bookmark order from A Stranger Dream, I’m definitely going to have to snag the croissant!

Nico Bell has certainly created a story that I will never forget. One minute I was super anxious, then I was terrified, then I ended up laughing. I had so much fun reading this!

While reading, I also had the urge to go bake brownies… Did that happen to anyone else? 🙂

My Favorite Passages from Food Fright

Dread flavored Cassie’s saliva with a cold bitterness.

Sweet chocolate. The solution to all the world’s problems.

My Final Thoughts on Food Fright

This novella is such a fun read. Full of bizarre horror and teenage angst and young love. You’ll be grateful that you read this one before your own homecoming dance!

Max is one of the most hilarious people that I fol Max is one of the most hilarious people that I follow on Twitter! I originally learned who he was after seeing him participate in the KillerCon 2020 Virtual Event. I went to follow him and his publishing house, Perpetual Motion Machine (that he runs with Lori Michelle), immediately after his reading.

Within the PMM publishing house, they also have the imprint, Ghoulish Books, which launched in January of 2022. Max’s latest book, Maggots Screaming!, launched today April 12th, 2022 from that imprint. In celebration, I’m so excited to be sharing this interview with Max!

In the foreword, the author warns that this is a book of fears, and boy does he play on fears wonderfully! Each tale is presented to readers in the first person to really get readers in the characters shoes. Please use caution here when you dive in. The author does not shy away from the darkness.
