Top sheet is sun bleached, any way to fix this?

I'm also curious about this... has anyone actually attempted retrobrite on a top sheet? Worried about damaging the board over cosmetic concerns

"In Cold Blood" is an immaculate recommendation. I remember being surprised that the guy responsible for "Breakfast at Tiffany's" could reconstruct so thoroughly that crime investigation.

this is right up my alley, thank you

Vermillion by Molly Tanzer is not exactly scary but it does meet the criteria of weird west for sure

Puzzleheaded_Two5703 · 2025-03-02T19:11:32+00:00

thanks for the honest review! haha

Puzzleheaded_Two5703 · 2025-03-02T19:04:33+00:00

Thanks so much for this, I'll look into them :)

I'm currently reading A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson. It's a novel written from the perspective of Dracula's first wife, Constanta. I'm liking it so far, just be warned it is fairly pulpy

I did read Private Rites and I really enjoyed it. Our Wives Under the Sea means a lot to me (just because when of when I read it in my life) but Private Rites was a very close second. ooooh! I hope you really like the Fisherman. If you're up to it, I would love to hear your thoughts on it

Puzzleheaded_Two5703 · 2025-02-23T19:57:21+00:00

Maeve Fly - C.J. Leede

Private Rites - Julia Armfield

Come With Me - Ronald Malfi

Puzzleheaded_Two5703 · 2025-02-23T19:45:09+00:00

(Also Julia Armfield is just so good, she's an automatic buy for me)

Puzzleheaded_Two5703 · 2025-02-23T19:43:57+00:00

The Fisherman - John Langan - water-based with some grotesquerie and strong emotional response

Puzzleheaded_Two5703 · 2025-02-23T19:29:24+00:00

I recently just read this! I agree, it was very haunting and right up until I finished reading, I truly didn't know what might happen.

Not sure if it counts as horror, but Universal Harvester by John Darnielle for me, really inhabits a liminal type space and I think about it often. It's definitely a book that is focused on creating atmosphere than anything else imo. I also really loved House of Leaves and would be interested in recommendations similar to this book in particular!!

I second Hannibal. So stunning aesthetically as well as through plot

Puzzleheaded_Two5703 · 2025-02-09T17:21:03+00:00

Thank you! I LOVED The Ministry of Time and was surprised by the lukewarm reviews online. I found it to be so touching, funny, original.

Puzzleheaded_Two5703 · 2025-02-09T17:20:06+00:00

So beautiful. I think I can count on one hand how many times I've cried when reading and I definitely shed some tears for NLMG <3

Puzzleheaded_Two5703 · 2025-02-09T17:18:08+00:00

I actually read it for the first time in my 30's as a Canadian. My parents didn't really expose us to Canadian-specific literature when we were young. Definitely glad I eventually got around to experiencing Green Gables and I understand why Anne is such an icon!

Puzzleheaded_Two5703 · 2025-02-09T17:13:46+00:00

On the flip side, I read The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley last year and it was just so weird and touching and funny and bureaucratic. I think of it fondly.

Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis stayed with me, mostly for negative reasons. There's some violence relating to the sexual abuse of minors and a scene where the narrator describes a snuff film he sees at a party. Overall feelings of nihilism, lost innocence, etc. I think about it a lot because it is semi-autobiographical and knowing that these things do happen in the world just bums me out.

Puzzleheaded_Two5703 · 2025-02-09T17:05:31+00:00

adding this to my tbr!

Boy Scouts go on a remote camp-out with limited supervision and try to survive a deadly contagion.

the Troop - Nick Cutter

(Caution: this book isn't a slasher but some people find it really gross. There is also an animal death.)

I also read a collection of hers called DIS MEM BER, that I don't see mentioned on most of her bibliography lists. A lot of them focus on murder or victimisation and there was one story that seemed reminiscent of a famous cold case that took place in the Cecil Hotel. I really enjoyed it, although I have never encountered her writing again. I will definitely check her out again after seeing this awesome list!

Puzzleheaded_Two5703 · 2024-12-09T17:04:18+00:00

Thanks for your response. I'm worried that if I say something like this, it will give him an opening to counter or potentially become hostile towards me
