The final book finished in 2020 was this eclectic novel full of psychogeography and strange goings on in Hastings from @garetherees.bsky.social and @influxpress.bsky.social . There's some blurb in the alt text as usual and this remains one of my personal favourite.

Local Haunts is brilliant. You should buy it.
‘One of the most interesting and original young British writers about landscape, culture and people that I know; consistently adventurous in his explorations of place as a novelist, essayist, critic and film-maker.’

The Blue Mask (2003) by Joel Lane

I've loved Joel Lane's stories since the gorgeous Influx (@influxpress.bsky.social) reissues started coming out, but this was my first time reading one of his novels. I think I might prefer the stories, but it says something this was still a BOTY. Haunting.

Book 35 of the 40 I aimed to read from my backlog this year was Bindlestiff by Wayne Holloway published by @influxpress.bsky.social
A satire on Hollywood filmmaking, it centres on a film about a hobo in the speculative dystopia of a post-federal USA.

My first encounter with the distinctive work of @garetherees.bsky.social , one of the best chroniclers of modern Britain around. Love the quote that described this as a "retail park Heart of Darkness." 😄 There's info in the alt text and I loved it. @influxpress.bsky.social

Half Price Engines Beneath Us and You Will Grow Into Them and other Influx goodies. And a very tangential excuse to repost this picture of my son's Halloween Lego house even though neither it nor the books have anything to do with Black Friday.
