Slow train coming
Camp Damascus, by Chuck Tingle (New horror with a queer* bent - also available free with a Scribd trial)
The Island of Doctor Moreau, by H.G. Wells (Sci-fi horror classic with a movie)
Frankenstein in Baghdad, by Ahmed Saawadi (Interesting but new - I'm so weary of debut books now since the whole industry is based around money, including selling blurbs... I will put it on TBR, but don't know if I'll get to it.)
Bad Cree, by Jessica Johns (Debut novel weariness, so no)
Audition, by Ryu Murakami (A badass movie, a modern classic - I definitely want to read this. Also available free on Scribd)


This boils it down to > Damascus or Audition for me. I voted for both.

Since I hosed up and ruined last month's poll with a last minute tiebreaking vote for a novel which disappointed, feel free to spoil.



*I THINK. I am pretty sure I heard of this in an LGBT book club group but if I am mistaken on that please forgive me**.

**Bisexual so yeah. I am on board with more bi guy visibility.

you still owe us a 1000 word essay on Communion btw

May I make a good faith :toxx: clause, Your Benevolence? As a gesture to the BOTM participants, legitimately. It would be my first time but I think I understand the concept.

Not to bring things down, but I spent this afternoon in the hospital and will be going again in the morning. + Today is two months to the day that I got the call about dad. Good news is I will have time to make good on this :toxx:, being laid up. Just can't be a ban due to financial restrictions.




~1000 word impression on Communion by 10/26.... something funny but not too masochistic

Help a goon out! Lots of books - horror, nonfiction, classics and more for sale.
