#AlphabetGame @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Letter F

A taut novella full of suspense and dread. This book rattled me to the core. The title is so apt and the horror story feels increasingly like reality.

Other Fs I think fondly about are Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Akwaeke Emezi's Freshwater, and Margaret Laurence's The Fire-Dwellers.

BarbaraBB Such a good choice! I was hesitating between this one and 2y
batsy @vivastory Yesssss! 2y
batsy @Graywacke No, but I have it on my list because of you I'm pretty sure, and also @Lindy 🙂 2y
batsy @BarbaraBB Thanks! Whenever I think about it I still feel that chilly, eerie vibe. 2y
Lindy @batsy @Graywacke It‘s been 5 years since I read it so I had to go back to see my review : “Weird & creepy. A brief novel set in Argentina that riffs on the horrors of industrial agriculture. You‘ve got to be in the right mood for it, I think. It left me rather mystified and unsettled.” 2y
Graywacke @Lindy thanks! 2y
batsy @Lindy Yes, it's very much a "mood" book! I also should have been clearer—was referring to @Graywacke 's comment on Frankisstein. I remember your positive review, as well, if I'm not wrong? It's been on my list since then. 2y
