This was my first read of the spooky season and man did it set the tone for the month. An unsettling read with a semi-unreliable narrator who has a gruesome craving.

I almost stopped reading this early on, but I found I quickly became acclimated and was able to keep reading this strange novel that's like a bizzarro Charlotte's Web. I'm rarely satisfied with endings, but Bazterrica sticks the landing with this one. It explores manipulation, feeling stuck in one's situation, what it means to be human, the convoluted justifications we give ourselves for atrocious actions. Kind of perfect for election season.
Well, I guess its time for a break. (Yes, that's my book he is on top of)

For this #hauntedshelf rec I saw the category ‘dark‘ I was thinking what‘s the darkest book I‘ve read. This is some quite extreme horror, needing trigger warnings for absolutely everything, but thr writing was so oddly lyrical and it‘s such an individual book about a relationship I‘ll probably never see the likes of in print again.

There were actually MORE eyes than expected. As advertised? But still. Ew.
#hauntedshelf #flerken book 2!
Prompt #2 😃🙌 #gruesome #wickedwhispers
This one is still in my TBR!

Some covers from my current stacks that I think are #Gruesome or have a gruesome vibe. There‘s something about skeletons, body parts & distorted faces that is 😱
The 2 on the left I‘ve read (& loved) & the 3 on the right are in my #TBR. None of them made my #HauntedShelf TBR shortlist but I am going to try to work Diavola in.
