📖
Aus Ungarn, Polen, Mähren kommen meine Vorfahren, ein Wirrwarr. schreibt in darüber:

"Im Übrigen gab es nichts zu verschweigen. Der Osten war unsere Bagage. Mit Herkunft und Kindheit und dicken Pflaumen. Mit Braunkohle und Ängsten und Dampfloks und sukzessiven Fluchten. Wir kamen von dort und kappten unsere Verbindungen nie (...) Die Regime waren eines, die Topographien ein Anderes. Die Sprachen, die Speisen, die Gesten. Gefühlsalphabete."

Zacząłem czytać tom drugi serii "Trylogia Licaniusa". Tom pierwszy, przeczytany jakiś rok temu, nawet mi się spodobał.

Problem w tym, że zdążyłem zapomnieć co się działo w pierwszej części. Przed rozpoczęciem tomu drugiego udało mi się zebrać kilka wspomnień i jakoś tak z grubsza poukładałem sobie niektóre elementy.

Pomyślałem sobie, że fajnie by było, aby pojawił się jakiś blurp przypominający tom pierwszy. Jakieś było moje zaskoczenie. Autor pomyślał o tym i na początku umieścił streszczenie tomu pierwszego 🖤

@radmen Pierwszy tom był świetny. Do drugiego pewnie siądę za dłuższy czas, ale jest wręcz podkreślony na mojej liście życzeń. Choć podobno jest nieco gorszy.

@SceNtriC @radmen @ksiazki Przeczytałem pierwszy tom jakoś miesiąc temu z polecania kogoś tutaj, chyba nawet z Twojego i rzeczywiście bardzo przyjemna książka. Zbieram się od miesiąca do drugiego tomu, ciężko mi się ponownie wkręcić na razie ale jadę na wieś na kilka dni to mam nadzieję nadrobić

looking for horror book recommendations, ideally from women and/or queer authors. starting by listing every horror book and deleting everything on any r/horrorlit recommendation thread because holy fuck how is anyone still stuck on Stephen King in 2024.

okay but seriously though. i don't know what's out there because i've been reading mostly short web fiction for a year. the last few formal horror books i've read were:

gonna throw out some keywords and generalities: i'm about to read https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58830202-from-below. i vibe with Empty Spaces, some Cthulhu Mythos stuff, i love the sci-fi horror in the Southern Reach trilogy and Roadside Picnic and The Descent and pretty much everything by Peter Watts. i like Seanan McGuire and i liked the one book i've read by Seanan McGuire as Mira Grant (but it was the magical girl one so idk how much it applies to her actual horror stuff). i've read Ada Hoffmann but i only liked the first one. i think China Miéville is pretty good and Clive Barker is kinda mid. i think anything as trope-frozen as vampires and werewolves and ghosts is for children and yes i realize i said i liked Mythos stuff earlier. anything marketed as a "thriller" or "psychological horror" i will probably hate.

if you got this far, thanks for reading.

boosts appreciated 🔁✅

@vyr If you liked Mexican Gothic you may like Roses of Pieria. It's kind of a supernatural-mishmash but it's a lot of fun (and sapphic).

Under the Pendulum Sun (Jeannette Ng) is brilliant, described as "Anglican Missionaries go to the fairylands, it doesn't go well." It's a very specific flavor of horror, but it's one I like a lot and don't see often

The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher is a creepy-as-hell retelling of Manhen's White People, while Hollow Places is based on Blackwood's Willows.

@vyr "Not Good for Maidens" is one I haven't gotten to yet but have heard good things about. It's a horror-fantasy inspired by the Goblin Market.

The Scholomance Series ticks a lot of boxes, though it leans on a kind of comedic horror that is not to everyone's taste.

The 11 Movies That Paved The Way for Ridley Scott's Alien | Den of Geek

Excellent analysis. The list shows how sci-fi stories build on one another. The epic “Alien” had its predecessors and influences.

📖 #bookstodon #bücher #literatur

Erinnerungen von #IlmaRakusa in #MehrMeer an eine untergegangene, vordigitale Welt:

"Ich wähle das Buch aus, bestimme wann, wo, wie schnell und wie oft ich es lese. Es gehört mir, ich streichle seinen Einband, fahre über seine rauhen oder feinen Seiten, studiere die Illustrationen. Aber das Äussere allein macht es nicht aus, das Buch ist viel mehr: ein Wunderding der Verwandlung, eine Schatztruhe voller Geschichten, eine aus Buchstaben entsprungene Welt."
