I'm working through
Women Talking
Pathetic Literature
What You're Looking For Is In the Library
None of this is True

[Rosalyn]

Reminiscent of Mona Awad, minus the surrealist horror. Mysterious, moody, sapphic, emphasis on female frenemy-ship. The first 70% is all Gothic, literary, making love to demons in your dreams vibes, and I loved it. Then...

The opening of the book presents some interesting viewpoints on the privatization of information and research, although naive and oversimplified (and possibly downright untrue or outdated).

Unsure if...

Eerie, hauntingly beautiful prose, just like the 1st in series, but this time around, barely-there plot. You're reading this purely for "the vibez" and the humor, because...

No romanticization to be found here, the pastoral and "simple country living" is a harsh, dog eat dog world, where even a murder can be considered an act of mercy. Themes of...

This reads like a reddit creepypasta post, it's eerie and ambiguous, cosmic horror realm. I like that there's morse code, symbols and different languages so you have to...

She ate and left no crumbs!! If you want a no holds barred peek into the reality of the music industry and how exploitative it can be towards young talent, look no further. But make no mistake, this memoir is not a "woe is me" tale, but one of resilience, pivoting, rebirth...

A taut, effective novella with a sympathetic protagonist - or victim, shall we say. It was even a bit humorous, the parts where her hypochondriac thoughts manifested in paranoid googling of her symptoms (which we're all guilty of at some point). The horror hung on the periphery, in the memories one cannot remember, of not being able to...

I recognize this book was probably trailblazing in its day, but having read so many modern haunted house stories (yes, of which they took inspiration from this book), the original seems tame in comparison. I was so! bored! Not that I need drama and gore, but most of this novel was...
