*Netgalley ARC* Nina goes to a different kind of Halloween party in order to help her sister, who has been acting strange. Genuine chills. At first, I rolled my eyes at the story being told in 2nd person, but I get it now. Sapphic.

A Brief Intermission, by Sara Farizan. Afsaneh and Rusty are drive-in employees and film buffs. They're asked by the incapacitated owner, mauled by an invisible something, to do him a favor. Also not to interact with any visitors. They do anyhow. "Hilarity" ensues. Nice. Sapphic. ***1/2

"*Netgalley ARC*
The Visitor, by Kalynn Bayron. Another story with great atmosphere. The author did a great job of setting up a familiar Halloween in America, and foreshadowing. I really felt the fall air as a father and daughter sit down to watch horror movies ... & wait. I think there were elements that were there just to be a misdirect, but I don't know. Something missing here stopping me from full love. (Sapphic)

"I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other."
~Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Note to self: Reread Frankenstein this year.
