One of my most obscure old favorites, because it never made it into paperback. (The library journal reviews weren't great, which makes me long for magic so I could go back in time and smack some heads.) It includes a series of many different kinds of magical adventures -- mermaids, pixies, witches -- but the chapter featuring a lonely ghost girl is truly... haunting.
Small haul for Independant Bookstore Day, but I got to chat with one of the owners (who I hadn't seen in awhile) and the pen was on sale!
pickI chose this audiobook based on this creepy/gorgeous cover and I‘m so glad I did! This was a super quick scary listen which made my Saturday morning chores go by in a flash. The loneliness and terror of not being able to look anyone in the eyes lest you go murderously crazy really got under my skin, and I loved the sort of overarching question of whether you might go mad anyways, or whether we are all inherently that way to begin with. 🌟🌟🌟🌟
pickI love a good short book that surprises me. Here‘s this week‘s surprise! There‘s plenty of creepy body horror. There are points when you wonder ok why are you so INSANE?! Are you kidding me! In this dystopian story you cannot look into someone‘s eyes or it nay be the last sane thing you do. Body horror. It was a great palate cleanser between books, I can see myself listening to this again. Read by the author. Cover buy!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
pickDamon is being bullied as one of the few Indigenous teens at school, while his mother struggles to overcome addiction. Gritty realism with a touch of the unexplained or fantastical. The digital art by nonbinary cartoonist nicole marie burton isn‘t to my taste, but this is nevertheless a strong first volume in a graphic novel series about intergenerational trauma by Cree author Wanda John-Kehewin. #Indigenous #YA #comics #CanLit
This YA graphic novel portrays the gritty reality of living in poverty with a parent who is addicted to alcohol.
pickSet in Thailand, a young American journalist, Stephen Lelliott, is assigned to expose a coverup. He is about to break the two cardinal rules of journalism: Don‘t fall in love. And don‘t get killed....
Book 4 in The Crow series.
