Five freaking stars!

15/120 (2 books behind still)

4/5

After finishing Illuminae I went directly to its sequel Gemina- and I am going to pick Obsidio like right now.

This book picks up like right after where Illuminae finished. It’s once again told through transcripts, journal entries, chat logs, etc.

It took about 100 pages or so to get into this one even though I was really excited to start it. I found that while the first book is non-stop this one isn’t like that. It seemed to slow down a ton. I did enjoy it and I found it interesting and captivating. I don’t think I’d say it ‘Second Book Syndrome’ because it didn’t feel like that it just felt slow. I did enjoy Nik as a new character, but didn’t really like Hanna as much.

Can’t wait to start Obsidio and try to find Momento in a book store around me.

introducing my published novel: the art of betrayal

[ written by @unhingednovelist , self-published on amazon ]

There's a lot to talk about, and quite frankly, none of it is pretty.

genre // horror, mystery

setting // small-town new zealand and a second location that i cannot mention for spoiler reasons

[ a note about this: the idea of the story is that you are learning of new information as matthew, the protag, is learning of it too. you quite literally go into the novel headfirst knowing literally nothing. i can't even reveal any other names other than matthew's, because it's all spoilered. ]

features // alternative storytelling format, cosmic horror, a sprawling worldwide mystery, missing persons, many lgbtq+ characters, desperate attempts at finding the truth

main inspiration pieces //

house of leaves - mark z. danielewski (novel)

illuminae/gemina/obsidio - amie kaufman + jay kristoff (novel series)

dark (netflix series)

moodboard //

playlist // 'the art of betrayal - a playlist'

content warnings // gore/injury details, unsettling imagery, hate crime mentions, medical gaslighting (i may miss some things but this is what comes to mind at the moment, please PLEASE let me know if there is anything else i need to add!)

other important information // unfortunately the novel is quite inaccessible regarding its visual content as many chapters are of scanned handwritten journal entries and other scanned media. because i have worked on this novel exclusively on my own, i was unable to make an accessible version at time of publishing. HOWEVER i am hoping that i will be able to change this sometime in the future!

[ hi yes! i know a great majority of these kinds of posts on tumblr are for wips, but i really feel like i must give a little attention to my first big project. a little backstory from me is that i started writing this concept when i was 15, and i published it at the start of this year! ]

[ i am also very new to writing alt text descriptions so if you think i should add more to my descriptions please let me know! ]
