S.A. Cosby's King of Ashes, Relic & Speaks the Nightbird | Weekly Reading Update

3 books across three genres this week — S.A. Cosby's King of Ashes, the cult creature-feature classic Relic by Preston & Child, and Robert McCammon's colonial-era epic Speaks the Nightbird (currently mid-read). Welcome to Serrated Pages. I'm Ben, and on today's show I'm working through a properly varied stack — a Southern crime novel that delivers exactly what Cosby fans want, a 90s creature feature that still holds up better than most modern sci-fi horror, and a doorstopper of historical dark fiction I'm in the thick of right now. 📖 Books covered in this video: 00:00 – Intro 01:45 – S.A. Cosby — King of Ashes 07:58 – Preston & Child — Relic 13:50 – Robert McCammon — Speaks the Nightbird (currently reading) 18:15 – What's next on the pile If you've read any of the books I've talked about today, let me know in the comments down below — especially if you've finished Speaks the Nightbird, no spoilers but I want to know what I'm in for. 🔪 Subscribe for weekly horror, crime & genre fiction reviews through the lens of a life-long cinephile — new videos every week.
