My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, and spectacular #horror #books far and wide.
A cosmic horror coming-of-age story that is equally terrifying and touching, GOOD BOY is a perfect blend of mystery, monsters, love, and loyalty that is earnest, emotional, & eerie. Neil McRobert has written a truly satisfying, stellar novella filled with Horror AND Heart. (Wild Hunt Books)

Excerpt from a book I'm reading, Slow Poison, by Mahmood Mamdani, father of Zorhan Mamdani.
"FBI agents knocked on
my door...they asked what I thought of Marx. I said I had
never met him. Not surprisingly, this Ugandan Muyindi had never heard of Karl
Marx. “He’s dead.”
I said, “I'm sorry, what happened?”
“No, he died long ago.”
I wondered why, then, the question. “Why, then, are you asking me?”
Later, I would remind myself: the FBI introduced me to Karl Marx! "

Rated The Nightlife: New York 10/10
I read this book while riding the subways underground in New York, it seemed appropriate. There were a few times when I wondered if the person next to me was trying to read along as I turned the pages, as some of the scenes are a tad... graphic, and potentially attention-grabbing if one's eye sees a choice word or too while glancing over. <br/><br/>This book assumes you already know a few specifics about how vampires live. It draws from the recent wave of supernatural/vampire-driven books and adds the specifics of a locality. In this case, New York. <br/><br/>I thought the book was immensely readable. Michelle was a well-rounded character, as was Aaron. I wish there was more background on Michelle - perhaps in upcoming works in the series. Aaron's background gave his character a lot of added dimension.<br/><br/>I'd recommend this book for people who like a character-driven story with a few titillating scenes here and there, and of course those who like vampire novels. Looking forward to seeing the series develop. All-in-all, a solid read.
Rated Neon Genesis Evangelion, Vol. 12 7/10

Reading for pleasure in childhood may shape later development in remarkable ways.
A recent large-scale study found associations between early pleasure reading and better cognitive performance, improved mental well-being, and even differences in brain structure in adolescence.

Okay Mastodon, do your thing!
I'm looking for recommendations for audiobooks 😁
Preferably simple enough that I can keep up while doing other stuff at the same time, but not so simple that I get bored,
The last series was Skullduggery Pleasant, if that helps.

Rated Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor #1 8/10
Rated Wolf Worm 10/10
I am going to run out of T. Kingfisher books...luckily I started late, there are a few of her older ones left I think. This one is great, lots of detail about scientific illustration in the 1800s and also some drama, interesting and non-stereotyped viewpoint character.
Rated Doctor Who: The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield, Vol. 2: The Triumph of Sutekh 8/10
<div>A very solid set of stories with Benny, the Seventh Doctor, and a little bit of Ace.</div>
My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, and spectacular #horror #books far and wide.
THE WRITHING, VERDANT END compiles 6 uniquely intense, memorable stories of eco-horror. Corey Farrenkopf, Tiffany Morris, and Eric Raglin all contribute eerie, haunting tales where human nature and the natural world clash & fight for survival. Lush writing about terrifying, strange nature(s). (Cursed Morsels)
