Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence by R.F. Kuang |
this book creates a world that is both lush and brutal, and it broke my heart. it also offers a fantastic look into the way language and colonialism shape our world. |
this book captures the feel of early Stephen King novels in the best possible way. |

The Facemaker by Lindsey Fitzharris |
a fascinating deep dive into a period of history that i wasn't familiar with. |

Missing From the Village by Justin Ling |
unwinds the case of a serial killer that everyone with power ignored. |
beautiful and sad. it also reinforced my deep mistrust of the ocean. |

Red X by David Demchuk |
a truly scary book that pairs well with the Missing From the Village. |
a book that is equal parts infuriating and heartbreaking. also, Alex Jones and all his apologists can eat shit. |

Scoundrel by Sarah Weinman |
another exemplary piece of crime writing from Weinman. |
one of the most gorgeously fucked up books i've ever read. |
