Books of 2024: WOODWORM by Layla Martinez.

Up next! Still in my Haunted House Era™: Translated Lit Fic Edition!

The great thing about being on several indie bookstore mailing lists is that you then have Several Indie Booksellers recommending you new releases published by independent presses, which almost assuredly I would not have stumbled across on my own. This one's just a little guy (149 pages), but I've been looking forward to it all year. Will report back on how it goes!

Normal House Drawing #and the reverse is HAUNTED House Drawing of the same rooms (ghosts blood mold scratches disembodied hands etc)#it's very cool #oh and it's Two Lines Press and i've really enjoyed most of their stuff that i've read so far!#good little translation publisher do recommend #general lit fic usually isn't my genre but my exceptions are for 1. weird shit and 2. international shit #i'm still idly trying to Read Around The World #i'm not interested in mundane US based stuff but i'll read contemporary or lit fic in a different culture or country #this one just happens to also be perfect haunted house nano prep lol #ONWARD TO READING I GO #hh
