Definitely get the comparisons to My Brilliant Friend and A Certain Hunger, but with a little more convoluted writing and some bff stuff that's borderline abusive.
I wouldn't recommend this if you're a dog lover....more

Tabby's six year old daughter has been missing for almost 9 months and she is desperate for her. She will do absolutely anything to get Riley back--even if that means playing a sick game like something from a SAW movie.
This was one of the most depraved things I've ever read. Literally all of the trigger warnings. Extreme horror that will punch you in the throat....more

This might be a novella, but it's actually like 3 stories in one and although they don't mesh perfectly together they compliment each other well enough to make things feel fleshed out.
I don't even know if I fully understood what was going on, but I loved the disorienting way it shook up my mind.

Score!
Emily Carroll never disappoints and the illustrations here are as stunning as you'd expect! Our protagonist, an anamorphic cat arrives at the castle lair of a lady Vampire with the intent to kill her, but along the way she's entranced by beauty and horror. These black, white, and red all over pages are filled with lust and double meaning and the end left me dazzled and surprised. Highly recommend!!...more

Hurts So Good: The Science and Culture of Pain on Purpose by Leigh Cowart explores the science behind why people engage in painful behaviors on purpose. They cover literally everything from flagellants during the Black Plague, ultra marathoners, people into BDSM, ballerinas, people who eat hot hot peppers and more!
I renewed this book 3 times from the library-- not because I hadn't finished it, but because I kept wanting to flip back and reread parts. Clearly I'm going to need to purchase a copy.
It felt only right to place this book into a photo of me getting my knee tattooed last week.
One of the things I liked best was the refrain of how important consent is. As the author says:
"Consent, in any realm, is what makes pleasure possible, be it having a bite of a nice meal or receiving a warm hug or having an orgasm."
Reading Motherthing was an experience I won't soon forget. It's such a strange darkly humourous, but intensely creepy book!

This book enthralled me and had such a grip on me that I couldn't put it down! I read this while my baby slept on me, in-between cooking dinner, while brushing my teeth etc...
I couldn't decide if Abby was in danger or if she was THE danger and I was guessing right up until the end. And THAT ENDING godsmacked me right in the gullet!
Highly recommend! Just maybe hide it from your MIL......more

It's full of things that will make you squirm and twist around to make sure no one else can see what you're reading.
There's animal testing, sociopaths and psychopaths and above all the bond of love between sisters.
Fans of disturbing dark literary horror this is a must read!
Highly recommend pre-ordering this one and clearly your schedule for it's release this March!

The cover is excellent, the plot is insane and yet plausible, the trans rep is everything and the author's writing is great!
You've got two bffs who are just trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world where all men are infected by a virus that turns them into wild rabid animals that just want to fight and fuck.
Beth and Fran are doing the best they can to live and hunt the feral men in order to harvest their balls for hormones. They also have to try to avoid the many hordes of TERFs(you know, those JK types who don't believe trans women are women) that roam the region and would love to kill them. An accident brings them into contact with lone wolf Robbie, who doesn't trust anyone, but falls hard for Fran and they all start traveling together. Their journey leads them to a variety of interesting places like a bunker full of wealthy"feminists" who really want to live as if nothing has changed, a military group of TERFs with some Mad Max fantasies, and a dyke compound where drama abounds, but no one cares about what's in your pants.
I laughed, I cried, I cringed. This book truly has it all! Be wary of the extreme body horror if that's not your thing, but there's plenty of sex to go along with the death and gore, so the fluid count is high.
I'm going to be recommending this one for a long time! READ THIS BOOK and get ready to get hot and bloody....more
