You never give me academic build Roman. with the exception of Americanitis by Miles Beard, which I read last year and was awesome. You should check it out.

I'll Be the Monster by Sean Gilbert REVIEW
I think this is extremely well written in a pros style that's lush and beautiful but is also very well calibrated to convey the convolutions of the psyche of its characters.
A novel that personally I despised. I really didn't like but lots of people enjoyed because of its juxtaposition of horror and perversion and abuse with a an environment of great physical comfort and privilege and luxury.
whose collection she's always angry was another disturbing but really impactful, really stimulating read from last year.
