not that disturbing or gross
Revisado: 03-03-25
I was prepared for a lot worse than what I got. There's one mildly gross scene but after that it's just a normal horror story. Very well written. characters drop like flies in a satisfying albeit improbable manner. It's a nice short read for a day at work.

Historia
From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human.

It's pleasant to listen to.
Revisado: 03-09-23
The story dumps a lot of strange setting on you, before completely diverting attention to the small details of character's lives. It's like if you had a story set in a mental hospital, but how or why the characters wound up there becomes completely irrelevant for eighty percent of the book. Then they try to have some characters come in and explain the way that world works, and it tears the plot apart in a sense because the only reason the setting was believable was because of the lack of detail. Now it's obvious to me the story just has a lot of holes. Great read, though. Got me emotional. Ruth is a tsundere and nobody likes her - alright I'm done.

Historia
The Books of Blood combine the ordinary with the extraordinary while radiating the eroticism that has become Barker's signature. Weaving tales of the everyday world transformed into an unrecognizable place, where reason no longer exists and logic ceases to explain the workings of the universe, Clive Barker provides the stuff of nightmares in packages too tantalizing to resist.

Standard Clive Barker goodness
Revisado: 03-09-23
Dread: excellent, the ending is far different from the film, and I was quite pleasantly surprised.
Hell's Race: Meh. Very meh.
Will and Testament: A lovely ode to violence akin to The Wishmaster.
The Skins of the Fathers: Oh yes! So good. The ending should be iconic horror by now.
New Murders of the Rue Morgue: Thoroughly engaging, thought provoking, and fun, even though it's not very horrific.

Great set of stories.
Revisado: 01-25-23
Intro: psychedelic and gripping
Midnight Meat Train: Meh. The movie was actually better.
The Yattering: A fun dose of comedy and chaos.
Pig Blood Blues: A bit overplayed in its mystery dynamic. Ex cop doesn't fit in trope. Still managed to be fun and disturbing.
Sex, Death, and Starlight: Its whole own little thing. Kinda boring.
In the Hills, the Cities: Oh my God, what an awesome story. Simply incredible.

I found this one contained a few too many ordinary ghost stories, but over all I had a pretty fun time.

Historia
His fiction is known to be some of the most terrifying in the genre of supernatural horror, but Thomas Ligotti's first nonfiction book may be even scarier. Drawing on philosophy, literature, neuroscience, and other fields of study, Ligotti takes the penetrating lens of his imagination and turns it on his audience, causing them to grapple with the brutal reality that they are living a meaningless nightmare, and anyone who feels otherwise is simply acting out an optimistic fallacy.

More time is spent critiquing other philosophers than composing philosophy, but it's reasonable. Life is an insidious and humorless joke. Let's explore that fact.

Am I missing something? Or is this book boring?
Revisado: 01-04-23
I was very, very excited for this book. It gets a lot of hype. But the first few stories are mediocre weird tales. The narrative then just withers away as story after story pass by - nothing really happening or having anything to do with The King in Yellow. Ian Gordon is one of my favorite narrators ever, so it sucks to dislike this so plainly. The female lines are performed by a woman with a depressing absence of acting skill. The whole thing is a slog that I just can't seem to put the last hour into.

Historia
From one of Britain's most celebrated writers of color, Girl, Woman, Other is a magnificent portrayal of the intersections of identity and a moving and hopeful story of an interconnected group of black British women. Winner of the 2019 Booker Prize and short-listed for the Gordon Burn Prize, Girl, Woman, Other paints a vivid portrait of the state of post-Brexit Britain, as well as looking back to the legacy of Britain's colonial history in Africa and the Caribbean.

Gorgeous and flawed.
Revisado: 01-03-23
A beautiful and inclusive chain of narratives that loses luster after the first 4 chapters or so, which it fails to regain. As it starts to overstay its welcome, the author's misinterpretations of society are highlighted and the characters become too many to engage with.

Historia
Likened to the works of Faulkner and Dickens when it was first published 20 years ago, this extraordinarily accomplished debut novel is a brilliantly plotted story of forbidden love and piercing political drama, centered on the tragic decline of an Indian family in the state of Kerala, on the southernmost tip of India. Armed only with the invincible innocence of children, the twins Rahel and Esthappen fashion a childhood for themselves in the shade of the wreck that is their family.

Goes just a bit too far.
Revisado: 01-02-23
I love the disturbing and depressing. I would even call Let's Go Play at the Adam's a good book. That being said, this book has sections that are depraved and horrendous to a degree that can't be excused in the way we typically excuse literary darkness. The violence goes far beyond murder, but I guess "American Torture Rapist" wouldn't have sold as well. These horrible scenes, however, punctuate a well written, engaging, and ruthlessly laugh-out-loud story, and I absolutely adore the narrator's tone and conveyance.
