Samantha Baugus's review of Leech 3/5: I am of two minds about Leech. On the one hand, the book explores some classic horror/sci-fi tropes (body-snatching, hive mind, and contagion) from a different perspective; Ennes studies infectio...

#newreview of #Leech by Hiron Ennes. I found the first half of the book pretty compelling, but I was ultimately a bit disappointed by the ending. The author opened up some interesting conversations about this sub-genre, but they relied on a cliche ending. {🩸🪐📚}

#currentlyreading Leech by Hiron Ennes and what an absolutely WILD read thus far. Very creepy and weird. I’m a big fan of body horror and this is a fascinating take on that. It’s also an interesting blend of different genre conventions. {📚💙🩸🪐}

I read it months ago and haven’t stopped thinking about it. Also highly recommend his other books

Right??? It’s breathtaking

This book is somehow compulsive and meandering

lol thanks. I’m a completitionist what can I say

I recently alphabetized by entire library by author's last name, and I have books by authors from every letter of the alphabet EXCEPT Q and X. So, does anyone have any Q or X recs? I read science fiction, horror, non-fiction, and poetry!

I haven’t read a recent book about Romani people so this has been educational as well as gripping.

It’s permanent. So (not) sorry

This was the most uplifting thing I’ve read in awhile

This is the way

This is one of the first books I read in my doctoral program and basically changed my career. Obsessed with this one.

Really enjoying the Origins of Desire in Orchids Fens from @stelliform.press feels like another absolute banger. #smallpress

Or REALLY misinterpreted who was the villain.

For anyone who wants to read The Unworthy by Augustine Bazterrica CW for animal death. Did NOT see that one coming 😭 💙📚🩸

The more we theorize the more we risk the ending ruining us even more than these books already have.

I am maybe spiraling into absolutely out of pocket theories about what is happening in #willtobattle. Can’t stop won’t stop. This book just demands insanity. 💙📚🪐

Eeeeeeek. My manuscript goes to the publisher tomorrow. #academicsky

Samantha Baugus's review of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil 4/5: I initially wanted to give this book three stars rather than four because Berendt emerged, to me, as a dishonest, or at least myopic, writer. I ended up settling on four because I started looking...

New #bookreview on Goodreads. Picked up an older and famous book, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt. 💙📚💡 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
