I mostly read horror and thrillers but if you like any of these reviews, give me a follow on The Storygraph! I’ve been using The Storygraph since 2022 so I’m super glad it’s become more popular lately! It’s way better than Goodreads and now that everyone I know isn’t just exclusively using Goodreads, I’m excited to start weaning myself off of there completely.

Duff Green Mansion

The Duff Green Mansion is a magnificent, civil war era Palladian mansion in the heart of Vicksburg, Mississippi, at 1114 First East Street in the beautiful historic district. A true piece of art and history all wrapped into one gorgeous homestead, the haunting of Duff Green Mansion has gone on for nearly as many years as it has stood.

Duff Green built the mansion in 1856, an elaborate wedding gift for his new wife Mary Lake Duff. It would be several years before the civil war took its toll on the Duff Green Mansion. Until that time, the lavish parties and extravagant ball room galas the Green’s hosted were known far and wide.

Then the siege of Vicksburg, MS changed all that. Duff Green Mansion was hit not once, not twice, but at least five times by cannonball fire from the Union army. There are still post beams in the home to this day where you can see where the cannons etched their path through the structure.

Seeing the terrible danger, and knowing that there was not nearly enough medical aid to assist the brave soldiers who risked their lives for both the Union and Confederate armies, the Green family chose to temporarily give their spacious mansion as a wartime hospital. Union soldiers got treated on the upper floor, Confederates on the ground level.

The terribly injured patients got taken to the basement. Those who went there either required a surgeon, many for the purpose of amputation, or simply weren’t expected to survive. In the one room where amputations were performed, the basement rose somewhat above ground, the Duff Green Mansion being built as it was upon a great hill. A window offered light into the basement, as well as a perfect means of disposing of the detached limbs.

For many years rumor was that these limbs got tossed out the window, then later, as the pile grew to several feet high, taken for burial. Those rumors were all but confirmed in the 1980’s when the current owners were remodeling and inadvertently dug up a small pile of arm and leg bones from the earth outside this very window.

In fact, visitors to the Duff Green Mansion Bed & Breakfast who have a background in the medical field have taken the tour of the home and, upon entering this room of the basement, backed out. They say they can smell ether and other medicinal odors, even though these items have not been used in the mansion’s basement since the mid 1800’s.

The Duff Green Mansion has changed hands multiple times over the generations. The Green family moved back in 1866 when the soldiers left Vicksburg. When Duff passed away in 1880, Mary Green sold the home to the Peatross family.

In 1910, the mansion sold to the great-granddaughter of Vicksburg’s founder (Rev. Newet Vick), Fannie Vick Willis Johnston. She lived there for 3 years while she completed her own mansion, Oak Hall (known as The Stained Glass Manor). Mrs. Johnston then donated the property for use as a boy’s orphanage. It later became a retirement home for aged widows. She died in 1931 and her entire estate, including the Duff Green Mansion, got sold to the Salvation Army for a grand total of $3,000.

The Duff Green Mansion became a true place of salvation, serving meals and providing beds to those in need. This continued for 54 years until the Sharp family purchased the property for an exorbitant amount that enabled the Salvation Army to upgrade to an even larger, more suitable site.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Carter Sharp spent the next 2-1/2 years restoring the Duff Green Mansion to its former glory, adding many bathrooms in the process. The Mississippi Department of Archives and History involvement made sure the restorations were historically accurate. The Duff Green Mansion reopened as a Bed & Breakfast and offered tours, which are still active today.

The most widespread ghost story of Duff Green Mansion is that of a confederate soldier who seems to live in the Dixie Room. Guests have awoken to see the full-bodied (minus one leg) apparition of the spectral soldier standing by the mantel or rocking in the chair near the bed.

There are no stories of frightening ghosts or threatening paranormal activity. Nothing particularly terrible occurred at Duff Green Mansion. But the lingering memories of suffering and hardship continue to leave their mark on the structure. You can even still see some of the old bloodstains from over 150 years ago that still discolor the original wood floors.

To the Shores of Tripoli (1942)

Basic Story: Privileged Chris Winters Jr. is forced to enlist with the Marines by his father animist earn the respect of drill sergeant Gunnery Sergeant Dixie Smith.

Fan Thoughts: While filming was being done for this movie in 1941 the US was still not a part of the war, however during post-production the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred; the studio filmed a new ending to incorporate the attack and show the lead character Chris Winters Jr. re-enlisting and joining his platoon on a transport ship.  Despite being made before the US joined the war, the entire film is essentially an advertisement for the Marine Corps, with a very light plot and a heavy focus on the drills and the interactions between Winters and his drill sergeant Gunnery Sergeant Dixie Smith who is portrayed as far more understanding than the image more often conveyed about drill sergeants.  The plot is extremely thin, and the romance with nurse Mary Carter is uncomfortable at best.  The one thing that might make this film worth watching is as a snapshot of the era due to when it was filmed and that it is in color, otherwise it just doesn’t bring enough to the table to make it and engaging watch.

Warnings: none

This is by far one of the most disturbing Psychological Thrillers I have ever read and I very much enjoyed it. It wasn't to long and it had lots of emotions and personalities for the characters.

As I am a Photographer myself it was even more extra disturbing. You get to be in other peoples house and events and you see the most beautiful things that you sometimes wish you had a place like that. But to be a creeper like Delta is now crossing a huge HUGE line of trust and it was freaky to read.

The Photography facts in it are quite accurate and I was able to very much able to relate to her career and found myself saying yep that is true.

Now I was somehow shocked to find out that she fantasized about having a son and lived that lie to the fullest and was shocked to find out that she never conceived a child before. So once I learned that then I kinda knew one of the directions this book was going to go.

Even though she is a creeper I found myself crying for Delta, cheering her when she steals the unborn baby of The Straubs for herself and never tells them.....except their daughter who had a feeling and never told her parents.

I rate this book 5 stars because I simply could not put it down. I could not stop thinking about it. I wanted more and I am saddened to have finished it. My God it is creepy. It can so be true in real life for how sick a mind can become. This had meat. It had great bones. It was a life all on its own and I am glad to have got this in a Giveaway and I would love to read more of Mary Dixie Carter as I think she is one talented author. Highly recommend this book. It was so freaking good.

Book Recommendations: For Fans of… The White Lotus

Red Island House by Andrea Lee

Shay is surprised when her husband Senna declares his intention to build her a spectacular dream house on an idyllic beach in the tropical island nation of Madagascar.

But the Red Island House casts a spell from the moment she sees it, and before she knows it Shay has become the somewhat reluctant mistress of a sprawling household, caught between her privileged American upbringing and education, and her connection to the continent of her ancestors.

At first, she’s content to be an observer of the passionate affairs and fierce ambitions and rivalries around her. But as she and her husband raise children and establish their own rituals on the island, Shay finds herself drawn ever deeper into an extraordinary place with its own laws and logic, a provocative paradise full of magic and myth whose fraught colonial legacy continues to reverberate. Soon the collision of cultures comes right to Shay’s door, forcing her to make a life-altering decision.

Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler

Newly arrived in New York City, twenty-two-year-old Tess lands a job as a "backwaiter" at a celebrated downtown Manhattan restaurant. What follows is the story of her education: in champagne and cocaine, love and lust, dive bars and fine dining rooms, as she learns to navigate the chaotic, enchanting, punishing life she has chosen. As her appetites awaken - for food and wine, but also for knowledge, experience, and belonging - Tess finds herself helplessly drawn into a darkly alluring love triangle. In Sweetbitter, Stephanie Danler deftly conjures with heart-stopping accuracy the nonstop and high-adrenaline world of the restaurant industry and evokes the infinite possibilities, the unbearable beauty, and the fragility and brutality of being young in New York.

The Photographer by Mary Dixie Carter 

WHEN PERFECT IMAGES

As a photographer, Delta Dawn observes the seemingly perfect lives of New York City’s elite: snapping photos of their children’s birthday parties, transforming images of stiff hugs and tearstained faces into visions of pure joy, and creating moments these parents long for.

ARE MADE OF BEAUTIFUL LIES

But when Delta is hired for Natalie Straub’s eleventh birthday, she finds herself wishing she wasn’t behind the lens but a part of the scene - in the Straub family’s gorgeous home and elegant life.

THE TRUTH WILL BE EXPOSED

That’s when Delta puts her plan in place, by babysitting for Natalie; befriending her mother, Amelia; finding chances to listen to her father, Fritz. Soon she’s bathing in the master bathtub, drinking their expensive wine, and eyeing the beautifully finished garden apartment in their townhouse. It seems she can never get close enough, until she discovers that photos aren’t all she can manipulate.

The Other Guest by Helen Cooper

One year ago, Leah’s feisty 21-year-old niece, Amy, mysteriously drowned in the beautiful lake near her family-owned resort in Northern Italy. Now, Leah’s grief has caught up with her, and she decides to return to Lake Garda for the first time since Amy’s death. What she finds upon her arrival shocks her - her sister, brother-in-law, and surviving niece, Olivia, seem to have erased all memories of Amy, and fought to have her death declared an accidental drowning, despite murky circumstances. Leah knows she must look beyond the resort’s beautiful façade and uncover what truly happened to Amy, even if her digging places both her family ties and her very life in danger.

Meanwhile, in Central England, thirtysomething Joanna is recovering from a surprising break-up when she is swept off her feet by a handsome bartender. But when she learns that he is on the run from something in his past, and that their meeting may not have been a coincidence, Joanna realized that he may just a bit too good to be true.
