Day 19: Dear Wendy by Ann Zhao. A cute book about two aroace women developing a relationship. The twist is that they run rival relationship blogs and don't know it. As someone who is allo, this was an interesting and enlightening read.

Day 18: The Seed Keeper by Diane Wilson. It's a slow burn story, but one that earns its slower pace. The writing and characterization by Wilson are both fantastic here.

Day 17: The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty. One of the few instances where the book is just as good as the film version. Blatty has a very striking style with the way he writes dialogue and sets the scene.

Day 16: By Any Other Name by Jodi Picoult. A beautiful historical fiction piece that takes the Shakespeare conspiracy theory and crafts a human and heartbreaking story.

Day 15: The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker. My introduction to Barker's work, and I've been hooked ever since. Imaginative, disturbing, and excellently written.

Day 14: The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead. This is a very well written novel. But be warned: you will feel like crap once it's over. This peels back layers of history many currently in power want to stay hidden.

Novelvember Day 14: Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab. A book I intended to read over the course of the month, but ended up reading in about a week. A sapphic love letter to Gothic vampire horror.

Whoops. Forgot to post yesterday, so we're doing a two-fer. Day 11 and 12: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and Dracula by Bram Stoker. Great Gothic horror. Shelley creates a sympathetic monster, while Stoker gives us Mina, easily one of my favorite literary characters.

Novelvember Day 10: The Troop by Nick Cutter. Some may say this is Lord of the Flies with body horror. It is, but it resonated with me as a former scout; a lot of the bullying and conversations in this book are painfully familiar. Creepy and disturbing.

Novelvember Day 9: My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix. I absolutely LOVED this book. Reminded me a lot of the books by R.L. Stine that I read when I was younger. An interesting take on Exorcism horror.

Novelvember Day 8: The Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. The superior version of the story. All killer, no filler.

Day 7: The Refrigerator Monologues by Catherynne M. Valente. An interesting take on the doomed love interests in super hero comics, told by said love interests. Funny, depressing, disturbing, with a punk rock middle finger to the world edge that I loved.

Day 6: Blood Slaves by Markus Redmond. An awesome and cathartic debut novel about slavery, vampirism, and revenge. If you like your Gothic horror with a touch of Mortal Kombat, this is a must-read.

Day 5: V for Vendetta by Alan Moore, with art by David Lloyd. What can I say, it's November 5th. A work with political commentary that has unfortunately aged like fine wine.

Day 4: Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer. A really cool sci fi concept that left me feeling uncomfortable in the best way possible.

Novelvember Day 3: War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. One hell of an undertaking, but it was worth reading. This is the type of novel that you take your time with, like nursing a fine wine.

Playing catch up with this thing I decided to do this morning. Day 2: In the Lonely Hours by Shannon Morgan. Ghosts, castles, and Samhain, oh my! Heartwrenching and creepy, I absolutely love this.

Starting yet another themed month, this time Novelvember, where I recommend novels I enjoyed. Day 1: Smothermoss by Alisa Alering. Dark Magical Realism in Appalachia. Yes, please.

A little late, but...Day 31: Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. Hilarious horror comedy that parodies the genre in a way that shows a lot of love and passion.

Day 30: The Crow. What's a Devil's Night without a screening of this film? Brandon Lee is fantastic (RIP), the soundtrack is perfect, and the cinematography and set design perfectly capture a Gothic atmosphere.

Day 29: Don't Look Now. Donald Pleasance and Julie Christie are great in this. The score is also very good. If you're looking for a good, suspenseful psychic horror, check this one out.

Day 28: Lisa Frankenstein. Quirky and unafraid to be ghoulish at times. I loved this off-kilter love story.

Finally caught up! Day 27: The Shrouds. Weird recc, because did not like this film when I first saw it. Recently, I watched it again, and talk about a complete 180. I highly recommend this one as a good dramatic body horror about grief and AI tech.
