Welcome to Litsy!

3⭐️ this book belongs in the category of “ what in the hell did I just read?”. It was graphic and pretty gory and really gross. But it had the affect the author wanted it to have so there you go. #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo

What cracks me up is I started both these books yesterday. Maybe I have the gift 🔮… lol, but for real these are both pretty good so far. #BookSpinBingo #BookSpin #DoubleSpin

Odd and WTF. Loved it.

"She could feel the vibrations of his voice in the inside of the ocular orbit as she swabbed. There was heat in his skull, such heat that the first time she had done this, she‘d drawn her fingers out as if burned: compared to the coolness of Edward‘s cracking skin, the soft warmth of his sockets was boiling, the brain-like flesh receptive and giving."

"Edward suited his missing nose and eyes. They would have been an intrusion if they regenerated."

Never before have I been struck by a story's beating heart -- both its gruesome, decaying meat and the bloody romance within. But Ruthnum manages to craft a compelling, gothic, and oddly sweet story with Helpmeet.

"The fittings, the floors, everything was brilliantly clean, though Louise thought she could smell the decades-old smoke, perhaps in the very plaster of the walls. It was mild, as though a cigarette-sized wildfire had gently blazed in the room for an hour before burning itself out."

I randomly found this on a Goodreads list of gothic horror and was able to borrow it from the library! I think it will be a great read for #Scarathlon2022 and works for the #PhotoChallenge!

Can someone make this a movie? Because there's some things I'd love to see on screen!

Louise is caring for her husband who is dying of a mysterious disease that has ravaged his body. He was a doctor, she a nurse, but neither can do more than accept the inevitability of his condition.

Interesting body horror short. Would be interested in reading more by the author!
