The body horror is absolutely delicious, the twists and turns are positively deadly and my need to spend even more time in Renfield County is growing. Some might say it’s spreading like a stain…

While the unknown generated its own fear in the first book, having an understanding of what the Watchers were capable of added a layer of dread and anticipation to this one.

I loved seeing outcasts being true to themselves, refusing to be squished into boxes that conform to society’s expectations.

This Cinderella story has teeth. She’s actually kinda bitey so you might want to maintain a safe distance. Beware of loopholes and be especially careful after midnight.

Edie’s resilience in the aftermath of experiences that render trauma too small a word inspires me. The choices she has made to turn unimaginable evil into a life that is a beacon of light gives me hope. If Edie can do it, we can too.

Every day is the same. Stairs. Cat. Mouse. Wing. Norman. Until it’s not.
Checking into Room 314 is a countess and Blitzkoff, her green parrot. The countess sees the girl who is not supposed to be seen.

I absolutely loved finding connections between Charles’ life and his characters.
Fun fact: Snoopy’s birthday is 10 August.

Reading this book is what I imagine a hallucination feels like. It takes you inside the mind of someone with suicidal ideation but then twists it into something Escheresque.

It wasn’t until I read this book that I thought about how integral birds are to our folklore, mythology and history.

Book hug! It’s hope and love and refusing to diminish ourselves when people with loud voices and narrow minds demand it. This found family is everything!

Fun fact: A partly ruined ninth-century building at Mizdarkhan in Karakalpakstan, Uzbekistan is known as the Apocalypse Clock. It is believed that “when the final brick falls, it will herald the end of the world.”

A senior trip to a tropical island, a sentient, immortal octopus, feats of flexibility and a time loop. What could go wrong?! This was so much fun!

This is the best book hug I’ve had in a long time. If you need a breath of fresh air or some colour in your life, this is the book for you. This is what hope looks like.

Humans are the real horror story.
My favourite stories were by Josh Malerman, Margo Lanagan, Sharon Gosling and Stephen Graham Jones.

It’s revenge fantasy in all its glory. It’s levelling the playing field between the haves and the have-nots. It’s the victimised resisting those who have oppressed and abused them in spectacular form.

This book is about the insidious nature of abuse but it’s also about the seen and unseen ways that people who experience abuse resist. It’s about courage and resilience and hope.
