🥀🔪 SPOOKY BOOKS FOR AUTUMN 2022 👻🏚️

hi guys. I really like books right now. have you heard about books? I’d like to talk to you about some spooky books

SPOOKY 

Horror but like LIGHT not too much

Bound Feet - **initially forgot this gem !!** a novella where two women break into a Chinese Garden and Ghost Museum at night !!

Our Wives Under the Sea - this is very literary light on the horror, about a woman’s wife coming back wrong from a Marianas Trench investigation

Weird Horror #3 and #4 - I love this magazine. it has the exact kind of horror story I like, more interested in intriguing you than disturbing you. I’ve only read 3 and 4 so far but I’m sure they’re all good.   

Goddess of Filth - this is an unique possession tale. A group of Mexican American girls hold a seance that allows a goddess to possess one of them, but their real enemy… CATHOLICISM

My Heart is a Chainsaw - it’s Stephen Graham Jones. you cannot go wrong with SGJ, but this is the most for tumblr of his works. Jade is a very traumatized teen who loves horror movies and life becomes one

Come Closer - this is Possession Horror at its finest, told from the perspective of the woman being possessed 

The Carrow Haunt - a group of paranormal enthusiasts all stay at a haunted house ! somehow gives warm hug found family coffee shop vibes even while bodies are dropping. 

You Should Have Left - apparently now a movie with Kevin Bacon. haven’t seen it, but enjoy this book for the style and execution. screenwriter on a vacation in a house that should have never been built where it has been built…  

What Moves the Dead - a retelling of the Fall of the House of Usher with a nb protagonist, very gothic without being too scary 

A Head Full of Ghosts - a possession story where a family welcomes a reality tv crew into their home to film their possessed daughter

A Dowry of Blood - give it up for a book entirely about Dracula’s polycule aka his wives and husband. horror in the sense of domestic abuse. 

Hide and Seeker - I will add a middle grade horror book bc I want to support the kids getting their horror. this one gives creepy rhymes and child abduction 

Miss Dark Academia

Catherine House - so you want DARK dark academia? look no further. this is nihilistic and brimming with dread. not for lovers of plot

BUNNY - Welcome to the Smut Salon. is this horror? you decide. the first third of this book is incredible and the rest of it . I have no idea 

The Atlas Six - this is if you want dark academic magic grad school. I can’t decide if this is a Recommendation exactly, but I was entertained the whole time 

Hot weather halloween-y tales (for those of you in warm climates who still want to get spooky)

The Ballad of Perilous Graves - urban fantasy sent in New Orleans where music is magic, you got paintbodies (ppl getting high on graffiti), cemeteries, haints, sky trolleys, children tasked with finding the nine magic songs that keep Nola alive, and a trans man POV character going through it. it gives kids halloween. 

okay so I recently read The Daughter of Doctor Moreau, perfect if you want gothic jungle drama scifi and can handle some heterosexual nonsense. I loved the cenote and the hybrids, but I still think the best book from this author is yes Mexican Gothic

HORROR horror like. horror

Tell Me I’m Worthless - the haunted house IS fascism in the UK. the protagonists are a trans woman and a terf. showstopping. incredible. I enjoyed the whole thing. SO many trigger warnings. 

The Silent Companions - historical fiction where wooden cutout props of people are pretty scary, this book somehow managed to accomplish jump scares

Your Body is Not Your Body - an anthology of weird body horror, proceeds go to trans youth in Texas. very literary and bite-sized. 

We Are Here To Hurt Each Other - if you’re excited for new Hellraiser, and like gooey and gory, give this collection a try.

Helpmeet - returning to an abandoned orchard in 1900s New York might make you think oh a simple gothic tale? No. Nothing will prepare you

The Last House on Needless Street - it’s best to go into this book knowing nothing. all I can say is it is a truly wild time

HOT OFF THE PRESS aka new books I can’t wait to get my paws on

House of Hunger - we’ve got gothic manor house we’ve got blood maids look at that cover I also hear it’s maybe lesbionic ? 

Leech - gothic science fiction, something weird and queer happening in an isolated chateau. say no more.

some of my favorite letterboxd reviews for strangers from hell

did you guys know that the mother fucking UN's humanitarian and legal experts have been saying israel's occupation of palestine territories is and has always been illegal, as it violates the FUCKING GENEVA CONVENTION? did you know it was britain that 'gave' the land that wasn't theirs to give to found the state of israel as a tactic to get more jews to join the british army in their already-active war against the ottoman empire? did you know that just between 2008 and 2022 the idf killed almost SEVEN THOUSAND palestinians, as opposed to the 308 israelis by palestinians in the same time period? did you know that israel itself admits to 'forcefully evacuating' palestinians from their homes over the course of their annexation of the country? did you know the british army helped them? did you know that any palestinian who didn't want to have their house taken from them and given to american immigrants being shipped in to populate britain's pet project was killed on their spot? did you know that back in 2018 palestinians did nothing but MARCH in protest of their occupation and in response, the idf is CONFIRMED to have killed almost 400 of them, including FIFTY FIVE CHILDREN? did you know palestinians are not allowed to build anything on the land they have left? did you know they aren't ALLOWED TO LEAVE?? did you know over HALF of christian evangelicals support israel solely because the bible says israel has to exist in order to bring about the second coming? did you know that in 2021, over 88% of us congress were evangelical christians? did you know israel is confirmed to have knowingly bombed palestinian hospitals and the idf had been caught targeting journalists? did you know israel is committing another war crime at this very moment by dropping white phosphorus on gaza civilians? did you know the israeli press was just confirmed to have completely fabricated an account of palestinian war crime right after their own got caught on film? did you know the defense minister of israel openly called all palestinians 'animals' to justify the deaths of their civilians? did you know holocaust survivors are presently speaking out against the israeli state's ethnic cleansing of arabs?

why, in the united states, is criticizing a settler colony's active attempts at extermination labeled antisemitic because of the religion the settlers happen to practice, but rooting for the complete eradication of a muslim country that was already there and is barely still there not islamophobia?? why is religion being used as a shield to justify genocide?

when a sudden act of politically charged violence occurs, like the hamas attack a few days ago, i ask WHY? i ask WHY until i get as far back as i can. i read accounts written by all sides. i try to find out why this is happening in the first place. half of these facts have come from the israeli government itself. all of them are easily found and easily confirmed by reputable sources. a lot of them are caught on film. all of these facts lead me to know that the state of israel was created by britain in order to gain an advantage in an unrelated war. i know the state of israel has caused unimaginable harm to the country it's slowly eating, and has suffered just a fraction in return. i know religion justifies none of it.

palestinians deserve to live in their own country. palestinians deserve to not be forced to give their homes to americans. palestinians deserve to live, to leave, to stay, to wave their own fucking flag. they do not deserve to have another country plopped on top of them and then have their settlers ask 'don't WE have a right to exist?' as their own right to exist is being extinguished.

fuck the idf, fuck israel, fuck manifest destiny, fuck all settlers who think they deserve someone else's home enough to kick them out of it. literally, in israel's case. indigenous americans, indigenous canadians, chicanos, pacific islanders, filipinos, mestizos, we should all be standing with palestine, because we KNOW how colonial violence goes and what it looks like. solidarity between all colonised peoples. free palestine.

Mad that in 2021 we expect people to text us back immediately, when back in 1845 you’d just send your husband off on a ship to discover the Northwest Passage, not hear from him for 3 years, then fund an expedition to find his half-cannibalised body.

I'm never forgetting the Palestinian babies that were left to starve to death then rot in their beds by the IOF.

I'm never forgetting the Palestinian doctors surrounded by bodies of dead children begging the world to stop the slaughter.

I'm never forgetting the Palestinian children who held a press conference in English to beg the world to stop murdering them because they want to live.

I'm never forgetting the Palestinian Priest who said "We will not accept your apology after the genocide" to the world.

I'm never forgetting the Palestinian Imam who used the speakers of the Mosque, not to call people to prayer but to call out to God while the world around them was burning from American supplied Israeli bombs.

I'm never forgetting the grandfather who held his dead grandchild in his arms. Or the father carrying the remains of his two children in plastic shopping bags. Or the mother holding her dead child in a shroud. Or the father sitting among the rubble after he lost his whole family. Or the girl trapped under a broken building begging for people to save her family first. Or the boy who cried when he saw his brother alive. Or the girl who asked if she was still alive after being pulled from the rubble. Or the boy who carried the remains of his brother in his backpack. Or the old man the IOF used for a photoshoot before they shot him dead after getting pictures. Or the little boy wearing plastic gloves to pick up the remains of his family. Or the graves desecrated. Or the body of that small baby girl left alone in a tent because no one knew who she was or if her family was alive, small and alone and not one person who knew her name to bury her. Or the young boy who was shot in the street while his sister watched from the window. Or the men and boys who were stripped naked in winter. Or those tortured. Or those made to stand in open graves. Or the people who were raped by IOF soldiers. Or Palestinian workers kidnapped by the IOF and then labeled with wristbands, each one reduced to a number, then made to walk back to Gaza to be killed in the world's largest open air concentration camp. Or the people of Gaza starving because Israeli Zionists are blocking aid trucks. Or the Israelis dancing and celebrating the death of Palestinians. Or the lies spread by Zionists and their supporters. Or the people profiting off the oppression and deaths of Palestinians. Or the people of the West Bank being killed or kidnapped by the IOF. Or old woman who was older than the creation of the terror state of "Israel" who was shot by snipers for saying that. Or the Israelis dressed up as Palestinians to enter a hospital and kill three Palestinians in their beds. Or every single Palestinian currently kept in an Israeli prison. Or the journalists, doctors, poets, men, women, children, and the unborn all massacred. Or the fact that WCNSF exists now. Or the woman who refused to wash the blood from her hands. Or the dead, unburied and unmourned.

I'm never forgetting those who chose silence in the face of a genocide.

I may not know all their names but I will not forget the over 30,000 Palestinians dead. Or the over 60, 000 people hurt. Or the unknown number of people missing, still lost under the rubble. Or the 12,000 children slaughtered. An entire generation crippled or murdered.

I will never forget these things when Palestine is free.
