I finally started reading books fairly reguraly. I finished A Short Stay in Hell by Steven L. Peck and it was the most amazing thing I ever read. I’m currently reading Come Closer by Sara Gran and i’m enjoying it as well. I need suggestions from my favorite Lemmy librophiles. Thank you!

    I have two:

    1. The Song of Kali x Dan Simmons I low-key dislike how much I enjoyed this book due to its controversial author and his perceived racism. The friend who shared the book with me gave a mild disclaimer beforehand and I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t feel uncomfortable at times. Just type in “song of Kali Dan Simmons reddit” into google to see range of discourse on this matter.

    On the flip side, the sense of dread I had while reading this story was like nothing I had experience from a book.

    1. Fever Dream x Samata Schweblin Another book that invoked that anxiety that only horror does. Great writing, the slow build, the reveal… it was originally written in Spanish but I enjoyed the translation.
