The vibes are immaculate and the poetic writing in this queer Indigenous swampcore horror novel is to die for. I wish it had been longer to spend more time with the story and characters, and I feel like I need to reread it to fully appreciate it, but super glad I read this one. Would recommend!

My 23 yo son is in town and we partook in a roadtrip. This book became available on Libby and he likes the horror genre so we decided to listen. There‘s a lot of child birthing that I found awkward to be listening to w/ him, and it didn‘t have the humor his other books have but it was a great book and we both enjoyed it. Son says he‘s interested in checking out some more books by Hendrix. I suggested How to Sell a Haunted House next 🤣

I read the first three volumes of The Girl from the Other Side. It‘s still early in the story, but I‘m intrigued and picked up the next three installments from my local library. The general plot involves a curse that is passed by touch and which turns typical humans into huge, dark, antelope-like creatures. Which would cool for death-metal bands, but the “insiders” seem to want to avoid such a transformation at all costs

(2025) It's a supernatural thriller set in a maternity home for pregnant teenagers in the 1970s. Forced by circumstances into a place where they have no agency, some of the girls are drawn to a darker path that leads to a tight spot between the patriarchy and a a power that demands more than they may be willing to give. It moves right along, delivers the promised suspense, and wraps nicely. Recommended.

This was an odd book but it did pack a punch! It‘s for sure a huge metaphor for how much moms give to their children, as well as what they‘re expected to give. It‘s so well written and Baker does a great job writing suburban thrillers!

(couldn't find the right book in the database)

So... This is a strange one.
It's definitely a good book, very well written, with an interesting structure that lost me a bit in the middle (lots and lots of POVs) but came together in the end. The characters are exceptionally good. And there is a strong message at its heart.

It is gritty and rough, but the story demands it.

I can't say anything negative about it... Yet, it left me unsatisfied.

This book is absolutely bonkers. Arthurian-like quest/pilgrimage set in plague-ridden France in the Middle Ages but with the religious and supernatural themes cranked up to 100. An orphan, an excommunicated knight and a shamed priest are traveling south to Avignon to what you know will be an apocalyptic event. The horror is Lovecraftian and the humour is dark which compliments the grim and grimy setting. Top notch.

I am relieved that Litsy‘s working again. Every time it‘s down I am scared it‘ll be forever! Later today @Megabooks @squirrelbrain and I will have some great news to share so I am glad Litsy is up and running again!

I live it when a book is unlike any other and keeps surprising you. Model Home is like that. A true favorite this week!

squirrelbrain I just thought that about Litsy 😱 I saw how few posts there were overnight and was worried for later today. I was going to message you but it seems to have sorted itself out - phew! Looking forward to later! 🤫 1d
