(disclaimer: i'm writing this with a fever so if it makes no sense i'll come back and make it make sense in like a week when i'm off my deathbed)
➸adrienne young’s first wander into the magical realism genre spells for forgetting made it abundantly clear that young had stumbled upon a genre which fit her writing like a well-tailored outfit. with the release of the unmaking of june farrow, it’s beyond a shadow of a doubt that this niche concoction of magical realism, mystery and moody small communities is precisely where she excels.
➸ curling up with this novel splayed open in your lap you can feel each stalk of tobacco whisper against your skin, smell the farrow women’s biscuits pressed between the pages and see every beautiful, indelible image young conjures up with intensely musical prose as if each passage were an excerpt from a spell book. as an immersive experience, the languid grace and rich rural atmosphere of the unmaking of june farrow is in a league of its own; it’s a sleepy quiet magic with the exception of the tense murder mystery knifing through the windblown fields of jasper and the stifling shadow cast by june’s downward spiral into madness. my dreamy-eyed attention was utterly arrested.
➸ as the ending loomed however, and stray threads were coaxed together in an attempt at neatly packaging and serving a conclusion - i felt myself being physically pulled away from the story. there was something so contrived in the final act, as if it were a puppet show i had lost myself in and now i could see the strings young was pulling and the magic had withered. perhaps some of this sense of contrivance could be attributed to the romance between june and eamon which never once felt very sincere to my mind - but there is more to it which i still can’t quite put my finger on…
➸ conclusion: certain more fussy takes notwithstanding, young has once again cursed me to be forever enamoured of her jewel-toned words with her twisty, transportive tale, the unmaking of june farrow. perfect for those of us looking for our own doors to the impossible from the comfort of home.

➸ a darkly funny vignette of a woman’s obsessive love for her husband, my husband is as crazed as it is masterful. maud ventura picks apart our conception of love just as the protagonist picks apart every aspect of her own marriage, hellbent on finding fault with her husband and vindicating her paranoia in a desperate bid to restore symmetry to the power dynamic between the two of them as her all-consuming love constantly puts her on the back-foot. my husband set my teeth on edge and had me reeling at its self-contained and claustrophobic venn diagram on love, control and where they start to conflate.

➸ 18-year-old spitfire wilhelmina greene’s mom has been missing for a year and everyone in pine point think she’s just skipped town. but wil knows with every fibre of her being that her former best friend elwood clarke’s fervently religious family is behind her mother’s disappearance. even if she can’t prove it yet and the police refuse to take her seriously. while wil is trying to dredge up evidence for her case, the dutiful and shy elwood comes home one night after breaking his parents' rules for the first time in his life to party and later overhears his father’s sinister plans for him - elwood is to be sacrificed for their church, the garden of adam. as he flees, he comes upon wil and the two of them decide to join forces to unearth what’s really happening in pine point.
➸ a spellbinding debut from skyla arndt, together we rot is a meld of paranormal horror and gothic ya romance, bewitching you into the depths of pine point's eerie forest as you turn each page compulsively as if in a fever dream. through her cut-throat prose, arndt transports the reader to a world possessed by a cult and eldritch horrors, its grittiness soothed by sensitive explorations of abuse, sacrifice and family bonds. this story bristled down my spine, drawing goosebumps before driving a knife in with arndt's artfully-rendered characters and their more than unconventional love-story.
➸ that said, i do have some quibbles with this novel, namely with its brevity which meant that the pacing was propulsive and too hurried to allow for the kind of careful attention which was called for here. for this reason, the more interesting elements such as the mythos surrounding the town and the forest were not given the space that was due them to really bloom. it’s this unrealised potential which niggled at me the most when reading - a weakness which is in many senses conceivable and perhaps defensible for a debut work.
➸ conclusion : a haunting and vulnerable love-story barbed with cultism and body horror, together we rot is what happens when you bind romance with a forest straight out of folk horror imaginings. i'll be keeping an eye trained on arndt from here on out with such an auspicious start!

➸ cursed from birth by their godfather, the cunning sorceror drosselmeyer, twins clara and natasha have been leading entirely different lives. clara, who was blessed with light, has floated through life with an ease only the beautiful can ever know while plain natasha, the dark twin, has been relegated to the shadow cast by her sister. all this changes when on christmas eve a nutcracker gifted to them by drosselmeyer whips the two of them away to the kingdom of sweets. a sugar-frosted land where not even all the sugar in the world can conceal its terrible air of decay.
➸the kingdom of sweets is not nearly as sweet as its title would have you believe. rather, erika johansen’s nutcracker retelling echoes all the pretty frosted sugar plum trappings of the holiday classic and recasts them for a macabre, gothic fairy tale riddled with twisted, viciously imperfect characters. it is a reckoning between two sisters whose relationship pulses with the aching wounds of jealousy, betrayal, love, hate and vengeance. the complexity and moral failings of natasha and clara render them no damsels or fairytale heroines. they are women working within the stifling confines of what they’ve been born into, trying to resist desires which hang like forbidden fruit in their line of sight.
➸ conclusion : a dark perversion of a beloved childhood story, johansen’s hauntingly lyrical prose promises that just as too much sugar decays your teeth, so too do long-held dreams, once realised, turn to rot and disappointment. this fairytale is enchantingly bitter, tangy and grim and i’m still finding my feet after being feverishly swept away in its wintery landscape.

read if you like: ♡ creepy-pasta ♡ abstract, existentialist horror
➸ reading kiersten white’s new horror novel mister magic feels so jarringly anachronistic - as if you are once again bleary-eyed in the dead of night, scrolling through creepy-pasta and trying not to stare too hard at the shadows around you which may or may not be resolving into monstrous forms. it’s a nostalgic throwback to when the creepier corners of the internet crawled into the light with those chain-emails promising your violent evisceration if you didn’t forward them onto x amount of people. mister magic is dizzyingly psychedelic and the plot is a two-way mirror designed to throw you off the scent of what’s really going on. your eyes will glance off the true face of the story until the final hour in a way which is not unlike the nature of childhood memory and nostalgia. in here, nostalgia and memory itself are nothing more than a pernicious sleight of hand.
➸ when production abruptly stopped on kids’ tv programme mister magic and everything about it was wiped from existence, its cult-like followers were bereft. what's perhaps even more unsettling is how no one remembers the show the same or with much detail - and that’s only if they somehow happen to remember it at all. now, 30 years later, its child stars are brought back together for a reunion podcast where all is not what it seems.
➸ i’ve always been of the opinion that, in many cases, for a writer - or really any artist - their most personal work is their magnum opus. white’s latest work follows this precedent. an examination of religious trauma and cult communities, it is not a condemnation of mormonism for those who are aware of white's religious history and therefore leery of any religion shaming. this novel is an exercise in catharsis and it yields an intimate glimpse at white’s own experience as a child growing up beneath the stifling fist of indoctrination. her suitability for telling this particular story is beyond dispute.
➸white ingeniously plays up her conjuration of old-school internet by strewing transcripts from cultish fan forums. these embattled online conspiracy theorists attempt to cling onto their memories of mister magic whilst working around a bizarre mandela effect which somehow made it possible for that once cult-classic show to have been reduced to a slippery-eel of a memory. this ambiguity is extended to the events of the novel itself, needling you with a sense of skin-crawling wrongness and snarling your comprehension of whatever is on the page.
➸ personally, my only serious issue with how this novel unfolded lies in the dialogue. it rings far too juvenile and ya for what is purportedly a group of people pushing 40. you can technically defend this point by saying it’s very much in-line with the characters’ stunted emotional growth but i’d be reluctant to concur with that. ultimately, it almost came off a little as if they were mouthpieces for teenagers. despite this, the rest of the novel is brilliant enough to dazzle you away from dwelling on that shortcoming for very long.
➸ conclusion : prepare to be bug-eyed with mister magic in a remarkable and trippy pop-culture merry-go-round which refuses to let you off this thrilling ride or give you a chance to figure out what’s going on until it suits white in her author’s notes.

➸ if you had told me happiness falls was a work of non-fiction i would have readily believed you. a sublimely introspective and highly academic appropriation of the mystery thriller genre, angie kim does more than just set your blood pumping with a missing person story. here, kim’s inquiries into a meld of thought-provoking subjects ripple through the carefully plotted mystery.
➸ when acerbic and analytically-minded mia notices that her father, adam parson, has failed to return with her younger brother eugene from their walk, mia barely bats an eye and assumes there’s some explanation for it. for eugene is non-verbal with a dual diagnosis of autism and a rare genetic disorder, angelman syndrome, so there’s no one to ring the alarm bells. even if he does seem more harried than usual and there are crescents of blood beneath his fingernails... when it becomes apparent that something terribly wrong has taken place - the clock has already begun ticking. with eugene the only witness and unable to provide any answers, suspicion may fall on him so it’s up to mia and the rest of her biracial korean-american family to protect him and find their missing father. as they comb through the secrets adam left in his wake, they might even find a way to finally communicate with eugene.
➸ to engage with this novel solely as a mystery thriller is to qualify its nuance, for it is flush with concerns pertaining to philosophy (adam’s studies looking into the “happiness quotient”), neurodiversity, race and linguistics - even going so far as to arch a brow in challenge to the metrics we use to gauge intelligence. bear in mind that in spite of these deeply curious examinations (supplemented by a surfeit of mia’s footnotes), the more gut-knotting depiction of family dynamics effortlessly saves the narrative from being too cerebral and flat in its delivery. to really foster this emotional impact, kim has the charmingly loquatious mia treat the novel as if it were a confessional of sorts for her, therefore making it all the more impossible not to be drawn to her and her tight-knit family whose support of eugene is done with such grace that it inspired the utmost admiration in me. and if a few tears were shed along the way i doubt anyone could hold me liable for them after reading this.
➸ incidentally, the mystery itself, whilst propulsive and a constant source of intrigue, at times looks a little anaemic in comparison. that’s not to say that there is any absence of thrill, for any family drama is inherently the literary equivalent of raking claws along a blackboard. after all, there is little else as discordant as suspecting that those who share your own blood may be capable of doing you mortal harm. in a high-stakes environment, eugene’s linguistic alienation from others is brought to the fore, urging us to recalibrate how we accomodate others in his shoes.
➸ conclusion : diving beneath the shallower waters of a classic missing person case, happiness falls ambitiously reaches out to sift through the sea-floor and unearth what’s beneath in these new depths - to undeniable success.

➸ a hair-raising and hypnotic evocation of the silver screen, silver nitrate tumbles down a rabbit hole of cinema history, mexican horror and nazi occultism to deliver a mesmeric prayer at the altar of moviemaking. this novel noir is a love-letter to cinemaphiles, movie buffs and devotees of classic horror. silvia moreno-garcia gloriously transcends the written word with a slowly creeping story which incarnates all the immersive magic of a film.
➸silver nitrate records the hardships of two flailing childhood friends - washed up, has-been actor tristán abascal, and gifted but overlooked part-time audio engineer, montserrat curiel. each of them beset with their own plights and struggling to suture the wounds of their lives, they happen upon a stroke of good fortune in the form of tristan’s new neighbour, legendary filmmaker abel urueta. he promises to completely overhaul their sorry lives so long as they help him shoot the remaining scenes of an unfinished film of his which he’s adamant has been cursed. little do they know, abel is extending them not so much a helping hand but rather a monkey’s paw as the two of them become embroiled within a world where silver nitrate stock is a tool for magic and the dark arts roam the streets.

➸ you will never meet a more lovable pair of bickering beards than art and gwen. a ruthlessly hilarious and buoying coming of age rom-com, gwen & art are not in love grapples with themes of friendship, sexuality and self-acceptance in the face of external expectations - all cast in the melodrama of teenage angst.
➸ it would be a sisyphean task to try to find two individuals who get along more poorly than the ferocious princess of england, gwen, and the dissipated nobleman’s son/descendent of the fabled king arthur, art. and yet in a stroke of extraordinarily ill-luck, they have been shackled to an engagement between them since birth. locked in a frosty battle of wills with no detente in their foreseeable future, things come to a boil when they’re forced to spend time together for an entire summer at camelot until the day the wedding bells ring for them. not even a day has passed when art is caught in flagrante with another boy by gwen and it dawns on them that they might have more in common than they would like to believe.
➸ as a character-driven novel, it should come as no surprise that, sweepingly, every character figuring in it is unfailingly and ineffably worthy of adoration. not only that, but they are each of them so unlike one another that crouch virtually caters to every palate. don’t like abrasive and dagger-tongued gwen whose self-imposed social isolation forms the plate of her armour? well then why don’t you try your luck with the callous and rakish art, whose barbs and debauchery are no more than a front for a vulnerable young man compelled to hide the truth of his sexuality and thereby hide his all? still no? not to worry, there’s still gwen’s reticent and sweet brother, gabriel, mournfully peering out from the bars of his cage as future king. and if none of the above have secured your attention there is always the good-humored sidney pumping out jokes which will have you bent double ten ways from sunday. or the admirably brave and self-possessed bridget, or, failing all else - the lovely agnes. with a cast like this one, suffused with the chemistry of popping candy, lively and well-timed verbal jousting is therefore a foregone conclusion.
➸crouch’s debut ya novel is absolutely overflowing with sugar-spun prose and a thoughtful mix of era-appropriate lexicon as well as more facetious modern-day idiom. this is not a historical fiction work nor a retelling and in skirting the limitations of such, crouch is given more room to play around with the story and keep it all fairly light-hearted/unpretentious. that is, until we enter the last third of the novel wherein the tone assumes a darker pitch. this variation of the novel’s character stumbled on so suddenly i experienced a tremendous degree of whip-lash and not for the better. by the end however, i came to a slightly begrudged acceptance of this new direction for the plot and the ending was beautiful albeit tempered with bittersweetness.
➸ conclusion : a divinely soft and alternately heart-wrenching tale of awkwardly coming into one’s own, i will cherish gwen & art are not in love with every particle of my being.

➸ blisteringly quick, the heiress is a tantalising family drama, veined with mysteries, betrayals and pliable truths. periodically framed with newspaper clippings, correspondences, emails and the like, rachel hawkins invites us to do a little sleuthing of our own for a more heightened engagement with the novel.
➸ it’s been years since prodigal son and heir to the exorbitant mctavish family wealth, camden mctavish, cut ties with the rest of the mctavishes and turned away from his inheritance. an inheritance left to him by the matriarch and his adopted mother ruby mctavish whose name was once, and still is, on everyone’s lips in north carolina. so when camden is contacted by his estranged cousin following camden’s uncle’s death, requesting his return and offering him an olive branch - he and his wife jules resolve to return to his childhood estate, ashby manor. finally reunited with his family, secrets which refuse to remain in the deceased matriarch’s grave will bring about a day of reckoning for every last mctavish.
➸ by punctuating the present with these references to the past, wherein each event is related through the lens of whomever is writing it, hawkins viciously wrong-foots the reader every step of the way. therein also lies the heiress’ greatest achievement as a thriller as we are offered this unprecedentedly intimate, voyeuristic look into this rich family’s dirty laundry. besides shards of the pasts glinting through the present storyline, povs flit between the deceased and infamous, ruby, the rags-to-riches tale that is the adopted camden and his loving wife jules - all these dizzying diversions further enshrouding us in confusion as we strain to navigate this cobweb of stories. happily, my attempts to force my way out of the plot’s labyrinthine architecture and predict the ending proved embarrassingly fruitless and i only expelled my held breath when all was said and done.
➸ conclusion : secrets slink through every page of the heiress in a binge-worthy and unputdownable puzzle, which, if solved, will open doors to this family’s sinister skeletons.

➸ with a name like just another missing person, you likewise anticipate just another mystery novel - gillian mcallister is here to break the mould once again with this irresistible emotional thriller. much more than an investigation into a missing person case, this is an audacious inquisition of motherhood and the lengths to which a mother may go in the hour of her child’s need.
➸ as 22 year old olivia is captured on cctv footage inexplicably vanishing into thin air, detective julia day is called upon to helm the investigation. with years of experience under her belt and a peerless work ethic, she’s more than equipped for the task. that is, until a secret julia’s been harbouring of her own is suddenly in danger of being revealed and the case gets all too personal for her and those she’s protecting.
➸ it is dark, morally compromising thrillers like these which place the nature of motherhood in sharp display and in turn, prompt the question of what-would-you-do. we read julia’s morally abject actions with a mixture of dread, empathy and a sort of fierce condescension at times. for we would never acquit ourselves in such an unscrupulous fashion… would we? and yet, in having julia be otherwise such an upstanding, morally inflexible and by the book character, it does compel a re-examination of ourselves. it is in some self-contained way a defensible path which julia embarks upon - an arguably moral one - for her motivation is simply to protect her daughter, genevieve, and sacrifices, even those of our our own ethics, are an expedient of motherhood. flecked with these razor-edged examinations of goodness and rightness, every minute in which the case remains unsolved is weighted down with a sense of foreboding for julia’s soul.
➸ a slow-burn whydunnit potholed with a plethora of misdirections and red-herrings which will cleverly trip the reader up, the final reveal swept the rug out from beneath me. leading us down blind-alley turns in a plot plagued by outwardly disparate puzzle pieces which obstinately rebuff any attempts to solve them, mcallister succeeds in pulling a fast one on seasoned mystery enthusiasts with a jaw-dropping conclusion.
➸ conclusion : as a mother goes against the grain to save the future of her child every trickle of sand slipping down the hourglass counts in the one-of-a-kind just another missing person - and the inevitable downfall yanks us in as collateral.

➸ racked with nail-biting twists, hemlock island is a claustrophobic thriller scored by scenes ripped straight out of a nightmare.
➸ following a divorce from her now ex-husband, laney kilpatrick has been begrudgingly renting out her vacation home on hemlock island now that owning said island has become financially untenable on her own. as a result, laney finds herself at the mercy of countless panic attacks as she struggles to deal with this decision of allowing perfect strangers into her most jealously treasured home. not only that, but laney’s still reeling from the death of her sister which brought her teenaged niece to her door and under her care. much to her horror, she's also been having to field complaints from renters who report all manner of horrifying and almost ritualistic tableaus on the island. when laney receives a call from horror-stricken renters who’ve run for the hills after making a gruesome discovery in one of the guest rooms - she decides to head down there herself and investigate. with her niece insisting on sticking at her side, the two of them bump into some strained former friends and laney’s ex-husband kit. veiled in tension and secrets of their own, their motley crew arrive at the isolated island and things quickly take a dark turn from there.
➸ the plot itself is fairly simple - disregarding the many plot twists (the plausibility of which are another issue unto themselves). it’s an eerie atmospheric blend of horror and mystery which draws heavily on the innate ambience of an isolated island and occultist imagery. the relationships are underlined with furtive tension and for the most part appear to be pulled so taut they’re on the precipice of snapping. i'd even go so far as to posit that this fraught tenor percolating through these interpersonal connections contributes more substantively towards the ‘thrill’ of the novel. for while the atmosphere is effectively constructed by way of the ostensibly haunted island setting, there is nothing new or exciting in its presentation. having been inoculated by now to similar storylines, none of this held much interest to me and my attention zeroed in more so on the character relations.
➸ in saying this, however, the characters themselves - beyond their veneers of secrecy and the more titillating plot twists - offered little in the way of depth. their secretive behaviour provided a sort of cosmetic interest to them, which, when the makeup remover of the plot barrelled onwards, revealed them to be rather shallow iterations of typical mystery characters. i’d level this accusation most particularly in laney’s direction as the flighty, anxious novelist who specialises in mystery herself. not only does her vocation do her a disservice in making her seem kind of derivative on the whole, but it also lends her an air of stupidity. for someone who is allegedly well-informed within the realm of what not to do when one finds oneself in the midst of a murder mystery, she seems to pride herself on doing just that. as an aside, i’d also argue against labelling this an adult work as the dialogue and the surface level scope is far more befitting of ya.
➸ conclusion : taking into account that this is kelley armstrong’s first foray into horror, hemlock island succeeds in what it is - a gripping and compacted unraveling of tightly-spun secrets.
