current read ~ always finding my way back to horror related content

The Third Hotel a novel by Laura Van Den Berg

In Laura Van Den Berg’s Surreal Mystifying and deeply felt second novel, Clare, recently widowed, arrives in Harvana, Cuba, to attend the annual Festival of New Latin American Cinema—a trip planned by her late husband, Richard, a horror film scholar. Numb with grief her longing for insight into her husbands mind, Clare goes to the film Richard believed would be groundbreaking. And , in a way, it is. The next day she sees Richard standing outside the Museum of the Revolution. He is wearing a white linen suit and he is supposed to be dead.

The Third Hotel traces Clare’s time in Harvana as she follows her once-dead husband through the newly tourist-filled streets and charts her less-than-perfect marriage. Movie theatres swell with viewers, an actress goes missing from the festival, animals escape from the zoo, and a train flies off its track. As the distinction between reality and fantasy blurs and Clare’s search for clarity grows increasingly opaque, the reader is forced to consider not only what is real and what is not, but also what truths are lingering behind Clare’s own involvement in her husbands disappearance and reemergence.

Filled with subtle but striking mediations on grief, marriage, art, misogyny, and the loneliness of travel, Laura van den Berg’s The Third Hotel is a singular, propulsive, brilliantly shaped-shifting novel from an inventive author at the height of her narrative powers.

baked in the sun & started a new book

the book blurb:

It’s 1992, and ten year old Molly is tired of living in the fire-rotted, nun-haunted House of the Friends: a semi-cooperative living community of peace faith(s) in action with her formerly blind dad and their grieving housemate Evelyn. But when twenty three year old Jeanie, a dirt bike riding ex-con with a shady past, moves in, she quickly becomes the object of Molly’s adoration. She might treat Molly terribly, but they both have dead moms and potty mouths, so naturally Molly is the moth to Jeanie’s scuzzy flame.

When Jeanie fakes her own ☠️ in a hot-air balloon accident. Molly runs away to Chicago with just a stolen credit card and a sweet pair of L.A. gear heatwaves to meet her own pal Demarcus and hunt down Jeanie. What follows is a race to New Year’s Eve, as Molly and Demarcus plan a séance to reunite with her lost moms in front of a live audience at the World’s Fair.

A surrealist and bold take on the American coming-of-age novel, Holly Wilson’s debut is about the interstices of loss, grief, and friendship.

rainy day means a new book 🙂‍↕️ I didn’t know this was the second in the series but thankfully they’re not connected

book blurb:

One enchanted tarot card. Two infuriating hot men. And a modern woman who refuses to be anyone’s damsel.

Gemma Summers is broke, burnt out, and about three weeks from moving back in with her parents, her career has imploded, her confidence is circling the drain, and the last thing she needs is a run in with Alder Hawks—the dangerously charming ex who still haunts her dreams and could buy her a new life with just his pocket change.

When a magickal tarot card sends them spiraling—literally—into another realm and they land in the steampunk inspired Kingdom of Cups, Gemma is forced to rely on the man who shattered her trust, broke her heart, and somehow still makes her weak in the knees.

But survival in the world of Towerfall is anything but simple, especially when she’s caught between the ex who wants to own her and a roguish former king who sees through every one of her defenses.

With secrets mounting, identities unraveling, and her heart very much on the line, Gemma must decide: Will she cling to the version of herself she built in the real world… or risk everything to become the woman she was always meant to be?

current read ~ gosh I love psychological thrillers so much

book blurb:

After years of struggling in the Chicago theatre scene, ambitious actress Kira Rascher finally lands the role of a lifetime. The catch? Starting in temper means working with Malcolm Mercer, a mercurial director who’s known for pushing his performers past their limits—onstage and off.

Kira’s convinced she can handle Malcolm, but the theatres cofounder Joanna Cuyler is another story. Joanna sees Kira as a threat—to her own thwarted artistic aspirations, her twisted relationship with Malcolm, and the shocking secret she’s keeping about the upcoming production. But as opening night draws near, Kira and Joanna both start to realize that Malcolm’s dangerous extremes are nothing compared to what they’re capable of themselves.

An edgy, addictive, and fiendishly clever tale of ambition, deceit, and power, Temper is a timely, heart-in-your-throat psychological thriller that will leave you breathless.

current read ~ this is a body horror novel with multiple stories written by all women :)

A Darker Shade of Noir a novel featuring Margaret Atwood, Tananarive Due, Aimee Bender, Megan Abbott, Cassandra Khaw, Raven Leilani and others - edited by Joyce Carol Oates

book blurb:

New stories of body horror by women writers

While the common belief is that “body horror” as a subgenre of horror fiction dates back to the 1970s, Joyce Carol Oates suggests that Medusa, the snake-haired gorgon in Greek mythology, is the “quintessential emblem of female body horror.” In A Darker Shade of Noir: New Stories of Body Horror by Women Writers, Oates has assembled a spectacular cast to explore this subgenre focusing on distortions to the human body in the most fascinating of ways.
