| With a skeleton based on Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Fall of the House of Usher' and meat that is entirely T. Kingfisher's own, this is a relatively short, creepy read that would have been deeper and more compelling still if it wasn't fighting against its ...more | |

Considered to be a classic work of fiction for its titular monster, The Werewolf of Paris is a book with a plethora of fascinating concepts that had me deeply wrapped up in its story at times, but which didn't come together for me by the end. In its b ...more |

The Cockroach of the Dada Movement: The Life and Selected Works of K. Ungeheuer
by K. Ungeheuer (Goodreads Author) |

| Short story collections are the best place to find writing that is genuinely different, especially when it comes from a place like the Dada art movement - the precursor to one of my favourite genres, surrealism - and editor Karl Sigler mostly deliver ...more | |

A Game of Thrones begins an excellent grounded political drama in a high fantasy setting - while the fantasy aspect remains largely out of play, the book makes up for this with its well realised cast of characters and enviable pacing. Somehow, despite ...more |

A striking piece of emotive prose and an original fusion of the apocalyptic with the religious, The Unworthy cements Agustina Bazterrica as one of my favourite authors. For best and worst, this story is not complete. You never get a solid backstory fo ...more |

"While I loved how the author handled the theme of religious abuse in this book, I wish the book had been longer as the revelations towards the end felt kind of rushed to me.

Thank you NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. This was violent, stressful and extremely relevant to read at the moment. The Unworthy takes place in a dystopian future, where it i" Read more of this review » |

I really enjoyed how mysterious this was and how vague it can be with the world that these women live and suffer in. I will read anything this woman publishes" |

| A beautifully illustrated, dark and compelling detective story by Scott Snyder, this time focusing on Dick Grayson as the Batman rather than our usual protagonist, Bruce Wayne. The presence of two original villains, as fascinating as they are disturb ...more | |

“I screamed last night, and felt the sharp, reflective elements boring into my skull. I felt such deep, intense devotions, the kind of emotions it is only possible to experience in nightmares. But I was not dreaming, I could not sleep. I was wide awake. In pain. Debating with my own reflection which one of us should own our veins.”

“Glass always drew my eyes, or my mind. That reflection — the mirror, and the Other Body inside it. I wanted to turn off my mind but it was impossible. So many terrible, monstrous things buzzed around inside of it like electric knife blades, cutting, cutting, cutting.”

“Bats eating moths, or bats eating bats, it was all the same — beauty devoured beauty.”

“Acting is my whole life. It’s this one thing I am good at. But what if it isn’t good at me? I don’t look like an actor, actors are supposed to be beautiful. I look like me. And that isn’t good enough.”
