Concentrated doses of cruelty, discomfort, and sorrow, written as well as one would expect, whilst I have no doubt @ronaldmalfi.bsky.social can handle 1000 pages, We Should Have Left Well Enough Alone, goes to show he is equally capable of making you just as uneasy in 10.

In her funny and vicious debut, “For Human Use,” Pierce wields discomfort intelligently and makes the unthinkable imaginable- all without collapsing into mere shock, provocation or its own audacity.

One actual bit of journalism completed. It’s about freezers.

A novel muted by design “We Spread,” by Iain Reid is not a book I felt the urge to hurl bodily into the nearest oxfam, but nor did it consume me in the way Reid’s best work has. I liked it well enough.

🌹🩸 NEW REVIEW! 🩸🌹
First Date by @manylittlewords.bsky.social - @daturabooks.bsky.social
"The definitive (anti)dating tale about what it takes for someone to actually be real to another person, strapped to a grim conveyor belt of survival horror that I couldn’t stop reading even as I died inside."
In “The Caretaker,” by Marcus Kliewer even the spaces between each word feel hostile. Out in April.

Sometimes you read a book for which writing a review after almost causes you an aneurysm. @scribeofhades.bsky.social's upcoming #Daytide is one such offender but man am I glad I had the chance to have an early look!
What if Guillermo del Toro took on Punk Rock angels?

“Whether handling haunted pornography, simply admiring the lunar eclipse- the first in 50 years, topping the charts in Liverpool 1957, or knocking them back in a doctors office, I would follow @natcassidy.bsky.social anywhere.
Not in a weird way.”
@shortwavebooks.bsky.social MAY 5TH
“A real page-turner, “Greedy,” by @callieuntitled.bsky.social is exactly what I thought it would be. This is the sort of book you may try and pace yourself with, savour, but will end up demolishing standing at the kitchen counter.”

I watched the video of today’s ICE execution - a terrible idea, don’t do it - and I find this level of state evil in America incomprehensible
I’m so sorry for my US friends who are seeing this happen to their county
The American govt is a rogue terrorist faction; the world must sanction it.
“Intensely uncanny, white-knuckle tense, wholly unnerving, Trad Wife by Sarah Langan was one that I basked in the unremitting, methodic, apron-clad dread of. Ballerina farm meets “A King in Yellow,” meets Shirley Jackson.”
MAY 14TH- @torbooksuk.bsky.social

“Trad Wife,” by @saratogaishere.bsky.social is, beneath its sourdough crust and all that gingham, politically engaged, quite rightly enraged and genuinely highly entertaining and cathartic in its excess.

Your nastiest in my humble opinion.

“A novel that cares not about being liked, but being felt, absorbed and endured, finished in a quiet state of ruin, “Wretch,” by @ericlarocca.bsky.social succeeds in all that it sets out to do, and for the record, I happened to like it too.”
@titanbooks.bsky.social @sagapressbooks.bsky.social
A curated grid of twelve book covers themed “Horrormance”—a blend of horror and romance. The top two rows feature visually cohesive gothic designs, including The Dismembered by Jonathan Janz, The Death of Jane Lawrence by Caitlin Starling, A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson, Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu, The Haar by David Sodergren, Sweetheart, Sweetheart by Bernard Taylor, Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas, and My Darling Dreadful Thing by Johanna Van Veen. The third row, with Devil Inside by Clay McLeod Chapman, Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Hungerstone by Kat Dunn, and Mestiza Blood by V. Castro, breaks the aesthetic pattern. Caption notes the genre mix and jokes about the visual shift. Instagram handle @georgesreads appears in the corner.
Instagram post from @claymcleod listing two horror book releases for August. First: Devil Inside by Clay McLeod Chapman (Aug 11, Mira), a “horrormance” about love, possession, and a man back from the dead meeting a woman from somewhere worse. Second: Godfestation by Jendia Gammon (Aug 11, Sley House), a Southern Appalachian tale of grief and monstrous beings following Ivy Fernberg’s father’s death.
Horrormance! I can see that. I guess SF Specmance or Scimantasy?

A book that made my teeth itchy, my stomach turn, and my innards want to crawl out of my body, David Simmons’ “Fetty On The Switches,” is a damp, leaky, grubby, grimey and bizarre little number that I prodded, circled and then promptly fell headfirst into.

This is an incredible review of SPREAD ME, both in that it is very kind to the book ("All in all, a deeply unwholesome way to spend an afternoon") and in that it is a STELLAR piece of writing - I will be repeating the phrase "four eyed, fork-tongued viral desert people-eater" to myself all day 😈
