bailedI do not think this burgeoning subgenre is for me: too much cross over with "literary horror", too slow a burn. A single nightmare is the first 60 pages of a horror novel (while the rest is a basically straightforward family drama) just... isn't enough for me.
pickThis read of a Korean American student that is having issues with racist men and the desire to eat their eyeballs.
pick3⭐️/5⭐️
Love the cover... but for me, the book was just ok.
I‘m going to give this a go tomorrow. I‘m a bit apprehensive as I really didn‘t like the book House of Hunger. I‘m hoping I might like this more.
pick👁️Sunglasses & sleep mask needed after reading this Stoker-award-nominated chiller about a Korean-American college student trapped between racist, chauvinistic men and her growing hunger for eyeballs. Unique, clever, scary read during my work trip to Hawaii. I am now afraid of eyeballs. 👁️ #horror #unique #clever #diversebooks
pickA dark academia fantasy/ horror novel about students with the gift of persuading others to their will. I thought it was clever and raised some good questions about free will and consent. It was a fun ride.
so-soHmm 🤔 wasn‘t a fan of this one. Ji-Won is an 18 year old college student struggling through lost friendships, her parents divorce, and her mother‘s new, creepy bf. She feels responsible for protecting her mother and younger sister all while her mental health is deteriorating. The chapters were extremely short and i really didn‘t like any of the characters. There was a lot (towards the end) that was questionable. First half was extremely slow.
