"His sallow brown face was covered with a kinky black beard that looked like a map of England."
O..k? ?
I've been spending the past few days binge reading and wrapping up current books so I can start the New Year with some fresh reads! The only one I'm taking with me into 2024 is Don Quixote. It's a CHONK that I'm savoring slowly. Less than 100 pages left of Other Terrors, and I'll have exceeded my goal of 150 books read for the year with 156!
Only cool kids read at the bar 🍺

pick#Read for #Scarathlon I used my 2 hours of final #ScarathlonSprint (hosted by @LiseWorks ) time to finish the last 10 stories in the tagged book & read a little of my final book. Although not every story was a winner, I liked this inclusive collection.

Impulsively joined the #scarathlon last week (let‘s go #skeletoncrew 💀👏📚) and I hope I can keep up. Here‘s a small selection of kindle books I hope to dip in and out of this month to stay on theme. Looking forward to #spooktober feels!
pickThis collection of horror stories about what it means to be “other” was overall really good. It started off strong with McMahon, Katsu and new-to-me author, Michael H. Hanson. There were a couple I didn‘t love somewhere in the middle. Hailey Piper and SGJ was great as usual. The final two stories by S.A. Cosby and Tananarive Due were so good, especially Cosby‘s.
pickHighly recommend this scary, inclusive anthology in which the demons of racism, homophobia & sexism terrify one as much as the actual demons. Scary & thought- provoking tales by S.A. Cosby & Holly L Walrath shone. And “Where the Lovelight Gleams” will break your heart. Damn. #horror #shortstories #racism #homophobia #sexism
Thrilled & grateful to open my frighteningly great All Hallows‘ Read Swap gifts from L. long! I have been dying to read this anthology which includes a story by my writer pal Holly L Walrath, I didn‘t own Coraline, & the pumpkins are my fave Halloween treat! Thank you! 🎃❤️ #AHRS #halloweenswaps #grateful #horror #TeamSlaughter
pickA horror anthology exploring the theme of otherness. Some stories were excellent, a couple were so bad I couldn‘t finish them. The rest were pretty good. One story, Scrape, I wish they would expand into a novel. I wanted more and I had questions I needed answers for.
My favorite stories: Night Shopper
Idiot Girls
Scrape
Where the Lovelight Gleams
