Dec. 7th, 2023 04:16 pmWhat I’ve Read:
Fourth Wing – Rebecca Yarros – This book is fairly bad. It’s unpleasant to read. ( I'll put the rest of this under a cut )I don’t think you need to read this book!
What I’m Reading:
City of Blades – Robert Jackson Bennett - Xing Book Club – Steady progress!
It Came from the Closet: Queer Reflections in Horror - Joe Vallese (Editor) – SPN Seminar –
-Short essays where queer authors talk about horror cinema’s impact on them, with a focus on particular movies.
The Lottery and Other Stories by Shirley Jackson - Continues very enjoyable! I realized that I had read “The Demon Lover” back in high school and imprinted on that level of grounded anxiety really well. “Like Mother Used to Make” and “Trial by Combat” are both interesting stories about being trapped by politeness and proximity.
What I’ll Read Next:
Dark Rise – CS Pacat – re-read before the next book comes out.
Dark Heir – New book!
House of Leaves – Robobook Club – Haven’t touched it since I started it.
Ninefox Gambit – Xing Book Club
When Women Were Dragons - Xing Book Club
Owned and need to read: Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology, California Bones, Raven Song by IA Ashcroft, At The Feet of the Sun by Victoria Goddard, Tamryn Eradani's Enchanting Encounters Books 2 and 3, Tom Stoppard, Invention of love, "You Just Need to Lose Weight" and Other Myths about Fatness by Aubrey Gordon, Alisha Rai Partners in Crime, the Right Swipe
