Been thinking about Jeannette Ng's Under the Pendulum Sun and how it's one of the few books that makes the fae as sinister and horrifying as they deserve to be. An under-read dark fantasy gothic masterpiece.

Reading this grim but important book. Israel’s brutal oppression of the Palestinians can’t be fully grasped without knowing about the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people foundational to establishing the Israeli state, and a context shockingly absent from a lot of media discussion.

If you’re looking for a short , grotesque little read for the weekend pick up Helpmeet by Naben Ruthnum from Undertow. A vile little gothic body horror novella that made me feel like I had things sprouting out of my skin.
