Welcome to Litsy!

Another short story collection winner from Enriquez.

These stories focuses on the horrific in the everyday, in relationships and how generational trauma effects us. I think that is what makes these stories so scary. Like in the first story where a young boy dies in a troubled neighborhood because no one dares open their door and he comes back to hunt them.

Utterly adored each story! Quirky and intriguing characters

When holiday shopping, I recommend a one for them, one for you system. These are the ones for me.

This collection of stories really satisfied the prompt! I like a short story collection as a palette cleanser, maybe a transition to my next mood reads.

For those that loved Our Share of Night this is a lovely little collection of short stories whilst we wait in anticipation for the next chunkster.
I‘m not a big short story fan but I loved these like I love Kings- imaginative and creepy and slightly melancholy.
Turning into a favourite author, write quicker please.
Emma- you‘ll love these! Thanks Helen 😘

C reading Small Things before we go and see it next week at the cinema.
Me starting A Sunny Place..

Beautiful writing.

Today is my birthday. What better way to spend it than visiting a bookstore?

In Norway stores are generally closed on Sundays, but there‘s some exceptions & one is a newly opened bookstore downtown, Prismatic Pages. They sell books in English, new & old

The stack on the left are the books I bought there

I view all the books I buy in September as birthday presents to myself, so the stack on the right & the comics are bought earlier this month

My last Durham book stop was a lovely indie, Collected Books, which specialises in women writers, & serves coffee and cake, too!
• Learning more about autism to better help my ND clients, and as ongoing personal development. ♾️
• Learning more about trans issues to better help my trans clients, and support loved ones 🏳️‍⚧️
• More Latin American horror, this time from Argentina 🇦🇷
• More essays, this time from a writer I know nothing about, so🤞

Ive done an obnoxious amount of preorders in the last two months (dont worry swap friends theyre not on my TBR list ☺️) This one showed up yesterday. I love the cover!

What are your most anticipated books of the month? https://youtu.be/rRJUm9_MT5g

Super creepy horror short stories? Yes! This author? Double yes! This is an auto read author for me. I love the setting (Argentina) and I love how each story is unique. She has the creep factor mastered. I love them all.
