This book was fucking wild.

Are you interested in a tale about a repressed lesbian who goes feral, joins a sexcult, kills her sexcult leader when he wants her and her lesbian lover to engage in a horrendous sexual act, and then runs away with her lover and joins what can be compared to as a lesbian biker gang? Yes? Then this is the book for you!

And if you're thinking that's a spoiler, then, let me assure you, it isn't. So much shit happens before we even get to the lesbian part. Shit hits the fan and never comes down. It's somehow a novella, too. I don't know how Kolesnik fit so much into 114 pages.

Read it and get back to me on your thoughts because holy hell.

RECO OF THE WEEK!

Pet Sematary by Stephen King

Synopsis:

""Sometimes dead is better...."

When the Creeds move into a beautiful old house in rural Maine, it all seems too good to be true: physician father, beautiful wife, charming little daughter, adorable infant son—and now an idyllic home. As a family, they’ve got it all...right down to the friendly cat.

But the nearby woods hide a blood-chilling truth—more terrifying than death itself...and hideously more powerful."

So this year I read The Only Good Indian, Wolf In White Van, How To Sell A Haunted House, and I just started Universal Harvester. I think it's clear that my Genre Of The Year for 2024 is going to be horror, so I'd love recommendations!!!!

I finished reading Borrasca last night at 3am.

Needless to say I was more depressed than scared and even with the ending, I just.... Sighs.

What a world.

It's here! My horror novella, The Last Day, is now on sale for $2.99USD! (or $9.99USD for the paperback)

It's the morning after Ronald Lawrence's high school reunion. He's woken up next to an old crush, listened to her speech about how this was a one-time thing, and now he's stopping for coffee before he leaves this town and his more successful peers and heads back to his own life of mediocrity.

Then a man with yellow eyes beats him to death.

It's the morning after Ronald Lawrence's high school reunion, and he had the weirdest dream last night. He dreamed he was attacked by a giggling maniac with yellow eyes, after he woke up to his old school crush's speech about this being a one-time thing—the same speech she's giving him right now.

A plague of homicidal insanity is spreading across the world. It's the end of civilization, and Ron is reliving it over and over again. Always they catch him. Always they kill him. Always he wakes back up in that hotel room, next to his old school crush.

It's the morning after Ronald Lawrence's high school reunion.

Forever.

Just finished reading How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix 🐿️ This might be a cursed thing to do, but I felt compelled to draw Pupkin in my reading journal. Hopefully he won't attack me tonight and chase after me with his little nubbin feet!

Text ID: This book is terrifying and so insane that I would shout out in disbelief several times while reading. It's a survival horror with absurdly horrible puppets, complicated sibling relationships, and the traumas our families share (or don't).

"The things the dead leave behind linger like a curse, they hang around like ghosts . . . but every single item we put in the trash means there's that much less left behind of the people we loved. Throwing away their things feels like erasing their memories. It feels like exorcising their ghosts." /end ID
