SILVER NITRATE by Silvia Moreno-Garcia is an immensely compelling, propulsive novel about horror movies (Mexican horror movies in particular), filmmaking, the occult, chaos magic, secret societies... Her affection and knowledge of these things (and more) made this a delightfully spooky, fun read.
"A compelling spine-chilling paranormal thriller in which Linda arrives in a Town called ‘Oasis,’ a seemingly sleepy town where nothing is as it appears to be..."~#bookreview
Rather heavier #horror than I usually enjoy, and really, really creepy. Also loved the #sapphic relationship in the book, and the main character being full of sharp edges
Triggers: Insects, parasites, toxic family relationship, racism/colonialism, food-related yuckiness
Boys in the Valley by Philip Fracassi is the best horror book I’ve read this year so far. There’s a lot of great ones out there but this book blew my socks right off my feet. It comes out tomorrow! @bookstodon https://youtu.be/AWogPu05nn0#books#bookstodon#horror
Our Indie Game Somnipathy releases in 9 weeks and I'm kinda freaking out... SO many 'little' things we've been putting off, like icons for achievements as an example, that now look like a HUGE mountain. GAH.
We're not on track for a 'big' hit or really even recouping our time spent, but that we can even consider those topics means we're doing better than many ever get to, yet...
On some level I thought something would go wrong and we wouldn't get this far. Someone critical would quit, or interest would be lost... but it didn't, and that's almost scarier. We are gonna put something real out there, and some people might care. That's a lot.
Princess Sakura’s Court: Black Tea
My Girlfriend Almost Got Me Killed Side Stories
Chapter 1: Released: Black Tea
(Art: Mai-sensei)
Summary: Shiro-san and Kao-chan discuss tea.
Due to a life situation and vacation, the next chapter of Girlfriend will not appear until early August.
Quote: I took a sip of the tea. The strong, bitter flavor spread across my tongue and adhered to the roof of my mouth. If I asked her what it was, she would say Assam, or some strange named tea I had never heard of.
Not much of a #horror fan over here, but I still really fell for Stephen Graham Jones’ My Heart Is a Chainsaw (especially the audiobook read by the incomparable Cara Gee). Its particular brand of theoretical & sassy gave me a new appreciation for slashers.
But I haven’t been able to make the sequel, Don’t Fear the Reaper, work for me. Instead, I’ve got two 2023 Indigenous books of a slightly-less-gory horror bent:
-> Cherie Dimaline’s Funeral Songs for Dying Girls (YA)
-> Bad Cree_ by Jessica Johns.
Both well worth the adventures, even if horror’s not your thing! @bookstodon
