4½ ✨

Reading very much like a work of Fiction, this brutal account of the Clutter Murders is bone chilling.

Not only is Capote a masterful writer, but his dedication to obtaining all the information needed for this recounting amazes me - especially taking into account the when. No quick Google searches to check facts, or see photos of places. Just feet on the ground investigation.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2w

I have a lot of love for the McNally Editions series of overlooked books. This is a coming-of-age story of a young girl - Irene - growing up in a still-segregated town in 1950s Kansas. It is told in a series of chapters from various characters point of view, which gives depth to the story (and is one of my favourite narrative devices). Neither cloying nor strident, this book struck the perfect balance. Excellent.

TheBookHippie @dabbe it was happenstance !!! I was in Chicago and saw they were at the theater playing in 6 hours, so Mr BookHippie looked and they had two balcony seats 35 bucks each!!! 🎉 1mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie That man is definitely a keeper. 😍 1mo
TheBookHippie @dabbe He has his moments 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it was a riot to attend. We were the youngest people there BY FAR. And we aren‘t considered young… it‘s not everyday you see someone over 75 throwing themselves at a rockstar 🤣😂 FYI they sounded phenomenal. Massive talent. 1mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie Good to hear that they still sound so wonderful! Just imagining a 75 y-o doing that brings a huge smile to my face! 😍 1mo

Another excellent horror novel!

Red Rabbit follows a group of strange individuals, each unique in their own way, who get thrown together under even stranger circumstances.

I didn't think a horror western would be my thing, but I loved this one. I had no clue where it was headed, which is always high praise for a book.

This story is gory, full of supernatural aspects and lots of action. And Rabbit is a character I'll never forget.

Amazing! Audio narrator helped keep a big list of characters separate. Witches, ghosts, ghouls, cannibals, all set in late 19th century Kansas. A quest worth joining! Plus a love story and humorous twists. High recommend.

What an interesting story with wonderfully strange characters! I devoured this one pretty quick (for my personal speed).
