Status Updates From The Valancourt Book of Worl...

The Bones in Her Eyes by Christien Boomsma

The ending is very "I have no mouth but I must speak" and it was a real gut punch. This wasn't half bad

this one feels both misogynistic and transphobic and that "transvestite" is just icing on the cake

The Illogical Investigations of Inspector André Despérine by Michael Roch
Oh man, this was a slog, and it kinda pissed me off. Give me a good story pls

Señor Ligotti by Bernardo Esquinca
I was having a blast with this until all sorts of random shit started happening all at once

The Collector by Tanya Tynjälä
short and sweet, I'd love to try that apple pie

Down, in Their World by Flavius Ardelean
The setting was a banger (love me a good cave), but the delivery could use some improvement, the writing was kinda chaotic

The Angle of Horror by Cristina Fernandez Cubas
Idk dude. I'm confused. It was vague in a way that was veeeery frustrating to read.

The Time Remaining by Attila Veres
This was a really confusing read and not in a good way. I can kinda see what the author was going for, but I did enjoy the way they approached the subject

Mater Tenebrarum by Pilar Pedraza
at some point I will have to admit that gothic horror is not for me, because I have yet to read one that I would like

Uironda by Luigi Musolio
now THIS is how you do a reveal! I even went back once I was done to read again, now with the knowledge of how it ends, and damn. That was really good
