Inside an Anthology: The House Where Death Lives ed. by Alex Brown
Today on the site we’re taking a peek inside The House Where Death Lives ed. by Alex Brown, a Speculative YA Fiction anthology that just released yesterday from Page Street! Here’s the gist:  A dance to the death. A girl who’s just as monstrous as H.H. Holmes. A hallway that’s constantly changing―and hungry. All of these stories exist in the same place―within the frame of a particular house that…

The Otherwoods by Justine Pucella Winans
Tumblr media
The Otherwoods is calling. And it won't be ignored.
Some would call River Rydell a 'chosen one': born with the ability to see monsters and travel to a terrifying spirit world called The Otherwoods, they have all the makings of a hero. But River just calls themself unlucky. After all, it's not like anyone actually believes River can see these things-or that anyone even believes monsters exist in the first place. So the way River sees it, it's better to keep their head down and ignore anything Otherwoods related.
But The Otherwoods won't be ignored any longer.
When River's only friend (and crush) Avery is kidnapped and dragged into The Otherwoods by monsters, River has no choice but to confront the world they've seen only in their nightmares-but reality turns out be more horrifying than they could have ever imagined. With only their cat for protection and a wayward teen spirit as their guide, River must face the monsters of The Otherwoods and their own fears to save Avery and become the hero they were (unfortunately) destined to be.

2022 wrap-up, part 2
click here for part 1 | click here for part 3
aaaaaaand we're back for more of a look at this year. today's topic is reading, which is considerably less sparkling than writing for the reasons below.
top reads in 2022
woof I did so little reading in 2022. I really thought I'd do more once grad school was done, but by then I was doing amm and working on book things for my debut, so it just kinda. didn't happen. I read 14 new books, and 4 of them didn't happen until I was at my parents' house for the holidays.
so maybe it doesn't mean a ton since I read so little, but here are my top reads this year, in no particular order:
Silver in the Wood by Emily Tesh
as you know if you followed me when I actually read this book: obsessed. I wrote so many posts like OH MY GOD THIS BOOK until ofmd distracted me. I read this book twice in one month, in one sitting each time, and posted nonstop bullshit on twitter about it, too. super short, excellent forest vibes, folkloric, gay, what's not to love
Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
cozy fantasy, sapphic, not too long, exactly what I need from my fiction, and broke a reading slump that lasted most of my year thank god (no literally I read Silver in the Wood twice in march and then kinda cycled between books without finishing any of them until I read this in probably october)
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, Sangu Mandanna
new comfort read, ahoy! again a cozy fantasy, chock full of found family, so goddamn SOFT and again exactly what I need from my fiction, made me cry but mostly in a good way
The Mutantsitters Club by SJ Whitby
finally, a standalone in the Cute Mutants universe!! all the things you know & love about SJ's works, but softer, sweeter, and bite-sized, which is exactly what I need in my old age and also bc I'm a coward who hasn't even finished the original series yet bc I'm so scared of the many ways SJ might break my heart
the Brown Sisters trilogy by Talia Hibbert (reread)
obviously fantastic bc I reread at least one of them every year and this year went for all three. heartwarming & heartbreaking and digs into various mental health issues as well as neurodivergence (implicitly with Dani Brown, explicitly with Eve Brown) and chronic illness (Chloe Brown)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
upcoming books I'm looking forward to
The Love Match by Priyanka Taslim
YA contemporary, debut author
Bianca Torre Is Afraid of Everything by Justine Pucella Winans
YA mystery, debut author
Flowerheart by Catherine Bakewell
cottagecore fantasy romance
The Ashfire King by Chelsea Abdullah
epic fantasy, sequel to The Stardust Thief

Bianca Torre is Afraid of Everything by Justine Pucella Winans
goodreads
Tumblr media
Murder most fowl? In this sardonic and campy YA thriller, an anxious, introverted nonbinary teen birder somehow finds themself solving a murder mystery with their neighbor/fellow anime lover, all while falling for a cute girl from their birding group . . . and trying not to get murdered. Sixteen-year-old Bianca Torre is an avid birder undergoing a gender identity crisis and grappling with an ever-growing list of fears. Some, like Fear #6: Initiating Conversation, keep them constrained, forcing them to watch birds from the telescope in their bedroom. And, occasionally, their neighbors. When their gaze wanders from the birds to one particular window across the street, Bianca witnesses a creepy plague-masked murderer take their neighbor’s life. Worse, the death is ruled a suicide, forcing Bianca to make a choice—succumb to their long list of fears (including #3: Murder and #55: Breaking into a Dead Guy’s Apartment) or investigate what happened. Bianca enlists the help of their friend Anderson Coleman, but the two have more knowledge of anime than true crime. As Bianca and Anderson dig deeper into the murder with a little help from Bianca’s crush and fellow birding aficionado, Elaine Yee (#13: Beautiful People, #11: Parents Discovering They’re A Raging Lesbian), the trio uncovers a conspiracy much larger—and weirder—than imagined. But when the killer catches wind of the investigation, Bianca’s #1 fear of public speaking doesn’t sound so bad compared to the threat of being silenced for good. In this absurdist, bizarrely comical YA thriller that is at turns a deceptively deep exploration of anxiety and identity, perhaps the real murder investigation is the friends we make along the way.
Mod opinion: I've read and mostly enjoyed this YA thriller. The build up is really incredible and I enjoyed getting to know Bianca Torre :)

The Otherwoods
Tumblr media
The Otherwoods by Justine Pucella Winans
i think this one will be a satisfying read for the middle grade age group! it struck me as neither transcendent nor unpleasant, but somewhere in the middle. it's got many of the usual components of a scary fantasy adventure: reluctant magical protagonist, someone who needs rescuing, an animal companion, monsters and a frightening other world to traverse, and guides along the way whose motives are uncertain, and a few twists toward the end that are not mind-blowing to an adult, but definitely less predictable to younger readers with less experience of narrative structure. and the ending satisfies, so all in all it does what it needs to do!
the big highlight for me is the protagonist, River, who's nonbinary. it still feels pretty rare to get trans and nonbinary main characters in middle grade books, and i think the clarity with which River's identity is presented and explored is just about right for the target age--validating for the trans kids reading, and encouraging empathy and understanding in cis readers. this is definitely a good one for school libraries and middle grade rec lists trying to get more nonbinary representation!
the deets
how i read it: an e-galley from NetGalley. sadly the actual file was physically a little hard to read, it kept giving me trouble, so it took me longer than usual, but i powered through!
try this if you: dig spoopy books, have a lot of feelings about cats (the cat makes it through just fine dw), like a straightforward adventure and a sweet chaste crush, loved Monsters, Inc. but wanted it to be scarier, or know a kid who is into any of the above and/or would like a queer story!
a line i really liked: regarding my fave character, Charles, the monster under River's bed
Charles kept looking into River's eyes for a while, probably too long. It made River's skin crawl, but they managed not to tear away from his gaze. Finally, Charles pointed one sharp limb in the direction of Pancakes. "I should take Pancakes?" River asked. It was possible the monster was asking permission to eat Pancakes, but River thought they could be an optimist this once.
pub date: September 12, 2023!

Also, having read Gideon the Ninth myself, I can see why people might think the representation of terminal illness is a little iffy.
