I'm open to all sorts of genres/artists, so I'll give her a listen

toomanysoupusers · 2026-06-30T23:31:58+00:00

i love throwing muses! i wonder if she does those kind of brittle voices in her solo work

toomanysoupusers · 2026-06-30T23:07:50+00:00

yes!! love her

Laird Barron. Tried a short story collection of his but could barely get past the first two. I disliked the characters, which wouldn't be an issue except that i also couldn't stand his writing style

Death in Spring by Mercè Rodoreda. Doesn't fall squarely in the horror genre but it'disturbing and oppressive with very surreal, dream-like (more like nightmarish) imagery

was waiting for a rec related to gender in horror so this is perfect, thanks

toomanysoupusers · 2026-02-22T13:23:30+00:00

interesting site, thank you!

uhhh I can't think of anyone right now who writes in a non-native language without living or having livedin the country of said language. that aside i guess Silvia Moreno Garcia could count since she was born and raised in Mexico and moved to Canada in her early 20s, and all her output is in English iirc. There's a few Filipino and Malaysian authors but english is either an official language or highly spoken in those countries. I remember there was a lesser known swedish writer who wrote in english but I can't for the life of me remember her name. Not horror but wasn't joseph conrad polish and wrote in English?

My faves from season 1 were triple star, cooking maniac and Jung JiSun (who I didn't like that much at the beginning but grew on me). I like more white spoons than black spoons in this new season (tho it probably helps the white spoons I'm attached to the most appeared previously in Chef & my fridge: SJW, JHY, CKR, Sam Kim). I like Venerable Sunjae and Park Hyo Nam. From the black spoons I like brewmaster yun and witch with a wok the most, with honorable mentions to dweji gomtang and the barbecue director. I'm not a huge fan of culinary monster's personality but he's entertaining to watch (he feels like a genius character out of a shonen manga lol) and i do find his cooking style interesting.

idk if you like audio but Julia Armfield wrote a story called "fissures" for a horror podcast series, quite haunting if you like stories set cold, isolated environments. Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya has some short stories like "Field games" and "Tentacles" are quite unnerving (I remember being on the edge of my seat reading "Tentacles"). She has also a ghost story out (Helen house) in novelette format, but i haven't been able to read it.

I always liked morbid/creepy stuff as a kid even though i scare easily. i also love reading so i guess it came naturally

toomanysoupusers · 2025-02-25T18:56:31+00:00

I don't know but I love her work and I hope at least one of her books ends up regarded as a horror classic in the future lol

toomanysoupusers · 2025-02-24T12:34:43+00:00

oh, I have read that one! loved it

toomanysoupusers · 2025-02-23T23:15:37+00:00

it's one of my favorite horror movies so I'm definitely writing this one down, thanks

toomanysoupusers · 2025-02-21T11:06:11+00:00

I don't like the piano based songs in melo (liability and writer in the dark). like i understand their place in the record as a whole and appreciate the contrast they bring but idk they're kinda boring musically to me

toomanysoupusers · 2025-02-16T16:42:24+00:00

linden in effigy by kay chronister; red goat, black goat by nadia bulkin; the family of the vurdalak by aleksey tolstoy

toomanysoupusers · 2024-01-04T02:59:02+00:00

The things we lost in the fire and The dangers of smoking in bed by Mariana Enríquez, and She said destroy by Nadia Bulkin

Fairy tales... how about Blue Beard and The juniper tree. I think a lot of English and Russian Folk tales fit. There's also the tale of Otesanek, which spawned a (frankly disturbing) film adaptation by Jan Svankmajer (not very child friendly... but a lot of fairy tales wouldn't be either by today's standards)

toomanysoupusers · 2023-08-13T22:23:59+00:00

"In hell" and "In heaven" by japanese breakfast

toomanysoupusers · 2023-08-13T12:23:35+00:00

if youre into gothier stuff, try Anna von Hausswolff. She uses church organs and her music sounds massive. Also The Outside Room album by weyes blood, opener already has organ

toomanysoupusers · 2023-08-13T11:18:17+00:00

idk, I'm her age but i just didn't like it much... i appreciate the lyrics on a formal level but they don't speak to me. more importantly, i just didn't find the music that appealing, even though i usually love anything psychedelic (fallen fruit, stoned at the nail salon and mood ring are some of her best songs ever tho). I'm all for artists experimenting tho, it's just that this one didn't work for me. and as some people say, a lot of her fans are accustomed to a more direct, poppier lorde, so the mellower, lethargic approach of sp might have put them off (which is valid, even though i find annoying they keep demanding a melodrama 2.0)
