Before We Wake by Sophia Glock
Rate this book
Clear rating
I bought this from the creator at SPX, after hearing her speak on a panel about grief. She also gave me a little zine about dogs -- particularly after I told her I'd lost my dog a little over a year before.

Before We Wake is a briskly quick read, and

On the surface of this astoundingly beautiful book, there is nothing I can really connect to. Queer, Asian, French-Canadian, food service workers. But the thing about great art is that it can take those qualifications and still make it relatable to s ...more

Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Rate this book
Clear rating
The first book was so humanistic, mostly from the perspective of spiders, and this book was so full of horror and an actual alienness, that I had only the smallest inclination (and a large amount of glee) that Tchaikovsky would be able to bring Child ...more

Goddess of Filth
by V. Castro (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book
Clear rating
This was a good gut punch of a novella. I got mildly confused throughout because there was some inconsistencies, to me, regarding the "when" of this story. Many of the references brought me back to that 1989-1991 era, but then they very clearly had c ...more

Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng by Kylie Lee Baker
Rate this book
Clear rating
I really liked this. It got dark, and then it got real "real," and then it left me sad but hopeful. I do always feel a little icky when horror does this thing where characters are murdered and it's creative, disgusting, and all that, but then there's ...more

Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

It's quite a thing to read a book that has not only been endlessly influential on literary, genre, and horror, media, but has also been itself adapted so many times, only to find that almost no one has managed to come close in replicating the... Gran ...more

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
Rate this book
Clear rating
This is my first Kafka. (That should be a kid's book title.) It was much shorter than I anticipated it being, even holding the inordinately cool-covered small book. I'm sure I have nothing new to add to the discourse about this book, so I'll just say ...more

Area X by Jeff Vandermeer
Rate this book
Clear rating
First of all, I'm upset that this is only going to count as one book. (People said I should just fill in each book separately, but i didn't read it that way...) At any rate, that's about as relatable to the complexity of the Southern Reach trilogy as ...more

This seemed like it was going to be right up my alley. A 19th century Midwestern "frontier" story about a pious man dealing with something horrible? Yes, please. And let me say, it was still up my alley, but it just wasn't what I was expecting.
