Apologies to Tori but I got jumpscared by this and thought Joanne of the black mould had released an album.
I realise that I am doing my own true-criming here but look how many fb friends Jade Paul has (594). This is where she posted her complaints about her ex.

My niece. She's not on the socials but this is the general vibe
You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you... They'll figure it out eventually.
Okay a big one! A sweeping epic! Just an incredible evocation of (an incomprehensibly huge) place and the mind palaces built by the people who live there (and who've *been* living there). It took me a minute to get into the swing of it but once I did I was so glad to be along for the ride.
Another short and exquisite book. (Also another book from the back catalogue of a 2024 award winner :) Visitation rests in a single house and spans 100 years of German history. The place is heavily outlined, sketched over and and over, from the geology up through the floorboards
I haven't read A Better Place yet but thanks to the book awards I found this earlier winner from Daisley. Very violent. The human context and the outback landscape both. Just incredibly compelling voices - including, most impressively, a pregnant dingo. Pitch perfect.
A deeply odd fable about being alive at what might be the end. This was exactly what I needed. (Not recommended to hard materialists but probably acceptable to those who like their spirituality avant-garde).
