If you can only read one, read James by Percival Everett. But if you've got 55+ hours to spare, why not both? #booksky #parallelreads

My story, "The Switch", appears in Grab Bag #3, among many other awesome stories! If you've ever wondered what would happen if trolleys controlled your destiny, you'll definitely want to read more!

What's the name for this genre that's horror but like, artsy?

Honestly I didn't even find Wake The Bones scary because the eldritch horrors were described so beautifully. Don't Let the Forest In was a bit more unsettling, but the imagery was likewise top notch.

ISO a book that takes a deep dive into the sociological/historical/political history of the concept of Laziness. Something like Laziness Does Not Exist but more commentary than self-help, if that makes sense

One nice thing about doing #querying research is finding new titles to add to the TBR pile (just added Curious Tides by #pascalelacelle)
