The Hollow Kind - Andy Davidson
I had a hard time getting into this one. It kind of felt like The Ruins with a Southern Gothic twist. I usually like multiple POVs but the way this one jumped back and forth got a little confusing. The premise and the writing were good, it just wasn't for me.

Leech - Hiron Ennes
Probably one of the most unique protagonists I've ever read, and the whole gothic atmosphere was super well done. It got a little slow at points but I was enjoying the vibe so much I really didn't mind. I'm excited to read more from this author!

The Girl with All the Gifts - M.R. Carey
I watched the movie forever ago and loved it, and the book is even better. This is one of my favourite takes on the zombie apocalypse, and I always love a good dose of science fiction in my horror!

The Folly of Realism - Alexander Vindman
This was a really interesting account of how the US has spent the last few decades waffling between supporting Ukraine but also refusing to condemn Russia. (So nothing's really changed much huh) Super informative, and a little rage-inducing.

"To be on the road with the last god would be a terrible thing."
I'm kind of embarrassed it took me this long to read this. Absolutely incredible, wild how much I ended up caring about characters whose names we never learn.

Cunning Folk - Adam Nevill
As someone who occasionally puts weird witchy shit out in her yard, I honestly sided with the neighbors for most of this. I didn't find the protagonist particularly likeable and I struggled to really get invested in this one.

Sign Here - Claudia Lux
Basically hells version of a door to door salesman and a super toxic family vacation.
More thriller than horror but really fun! I enjoyed the different perspectives we got and even tho none of the characters are really great people they're all still likeable.

Blood on her Tongue - Johanna Van Veen
I'm just collecting sapphic vampire novels at this point (Though the queer romance is more of a subplot here) This one was a really cool take I hadn't seen before, and the first half really hooked me immediately with the bog body situation!

This was really good! Took a minute to adjust to literally every other character consistently misgendering the protagonist, but it was really well written and the ending was *chefs kiss*

Rot - Padraic X Scanlan
"An imperial history of the Irish famine"
I think this is a super interesting topic, and unfortunately I didn't learn anything about this in school so this book was definitely informative but it felt a little slow, and tough to get through at some points.

"The secret war of the women in the OSS"
Super short, but really interesting! Followed four women who worked to create "black propaganda" during WWII, which was basically just psychological warfare tbh.

The Dark Half - Stephen King
It's been a while since I read Stephen King, and his stuff is usually hit or miss for me, but this one started off strong. I liked this one quite a bit, I just wish the wife got to play a bigger role. The villain was super scary tho.

Black Sheep - Rachel Harrison
Slowed down a bit around the middle, and felt a bit predictable after the initial twist. Great characters tho, would read the exact same story again from her mom's POV. Also i love a protag that's not a great person but is still likeable

"A cultural history of the world's most diabolical virus"
Reading about the treatment of animal and human patients was super depressing, but it was also neat to see all the stories and myths that evolved throughout history that clearly came from rabies!
