BOOK HAUL 📚🌈✨ eerie sci-fi & horror, translated fiction, graphic novels

Somehow, in the years of reviews I heard about this book, I never picked up or had it click in my head that this is set in England and I was reading the first chapter of this book and the dialogue like I was in the fucking Twilight Zone until someone asked for a cuppa and I was like [ding] oh!

I loved The Haunting of Tram Car 015, it was so cool. It was, like, a monster-of-the-week kind of book, where you just get thrown into a world and these two guys who are like, “oh yeah, there's a haunting and a tram car. That's us.”

Permafrost was about the idea of paradoxes and working through those and I was fascinated by that.

I really love the two different points of view that we get for this book, it just leads to a lot of really interesting tension as you get to know about the world through each of the lead's perspectives.

Shirley Jackson wrote The Haunting of Hill House, which I love. I love the book.

So, Caitlin Starling wrote The Luminous Dead, which is a book I happen to love. Sci-fi horror, cave exploration, not being able to trust your own brain, *sapphic*.

Tiffany McDaniel is probably better known for her adult fiction, her debut was a book called The Summer That Melted Everything, which I love.

And the atmosphere of that book was divine. It was so gothic.
