on getting scared reading horror, not really, but it took me a hell of a long time to finish Tell Me I'm Worthless between deciding to take a break after a few pages and deciding that now's not the time to reopen my books app. stress, not fear.

this was before they went back, though. once they did I finished it off over lunch. great book, preordered her next.

Truly stunned by how much I loved Camp Damascus. Never really read any Chuck Tingle, but there's not a trace of irony or too-self aware jokes I expected. Its a completely sincere horror novel about a conversion camp.
It's very easy to look at Chuck Tingle and go "aha, funny irony meme man," even as he's yelling about the importance of being earnest. Surely that's part of the bit! And yeah, it is part of the bit, but sincerely so.

It's a good bit.

Pounded in the butt by a good bit.

I should finish it today and it's really, really good.

Owns, though.

Dreadnought by Gretchen Felker-Martin. I'll quote myself again: "What a hosed up story. It needs every content warning under the sun, it wears its influences on its sleeve (:sickos: Neon Genesis Evangelion and Porpentine :sickos:) and it's great. Gross and great and everything goes straight to hell.
Is this available in a reasonable format? PDFs are a bit awkward. But I'll manage.

Also Chuck Tingle's Camp Damascus owns. It's not a Tingler, and that's fine. His previous horror novella, Straight, is also good fun.

Alison Rumfitt's Tell Me I'm Worthless? Also excellent.

Read The Ancient by Muriel Gray over the long weekend. Nothing too remarkable, just a solid page turner about a monster on a bulk carrier. She only ever wrote three books and this was her last. I picked up her first, The Trickster, which had some award buzz in the British critics circle in 1996. It heavily features freight trains. Her third book involves a long-haul semi driver. I think this lady just likes cargo transport!
I assume she has a podcast?

i do.

gently caress. I already have too much to read. I just want books about people in horrible spaceships and space stations and space colonies and generally unpleasant space industrial environments, with corridors and poo poo.
