i loved this book, it’s so bizarre. boy parts by eliza clark, swamplandia! by karen russell, outlawed by anna north, and any comics by julia gfrörer. some of those maybe not so nasty, per se, but definitely interesting and strange portrayals of girlhood/young womanhood. also seconding anything gillian flynn, joyce carol oates, or shirley jackson.

a few below <3

the doll's alphabet by camilla grudova - strange, fabulous, surreal short stories that play around with the grotesque, gothic and uncanny fen by daisy johnson - short story collection set in the same setting, reads as if fables or myths drive your plow over the bones of the dead by olga tokarczuk - less overtly weird but hypnotic, concerned with astrology, william blake and morals. eccentric and delightful and one of the very very very best books ever written the fish by lloyd jones - oh i love this one.. told through the point of view a young boy whose sister gives birth to a fish. devastating and compelling and strange swanfolk by kristin ómarsdóttir - a young spy is entranced by a group of swan women. very dreamy and whimsical but also investigating ideas of power / sanity / violence lament for julia by susan taubes - novella + short stories, one of the best books i've ever read. the novella is disturbing and strange, told through the POV of a demon who lives inside julia's i and wickedly controls / recounts her life agree w the pisces by melissa broder - romance with a merman that is fabulous and fun and weird audition by pip adam - a scifi novel about prison abolishment that plays with a really unique, experimental writing style. i loved it even though i traditionally don't like scifi/fantasy pale fire by vladimir nabokov - poem, fictional poet, forward, index; such a weird, strange, experimental, confident and unusual structure with a plot that is as equally as strange by the time you're finished any kafka too...obviously hope this helps, i love weird lit ♡

Horror reading

We had to remove this post by Hanna Bervoets- very subtle horror that leaves you feeling unclean Tender is the Flesh by Agustin’s Bazterrica- what if the government propaganda-ed you into cannibalism?

seeing someone before they see you

there’s something so funny about seeing a friend before they notice you cause it’s like a look into what they’re like alone seeing how they walk when they’re by themselves or their expression when they’re just going about or looking around

SEND GOOD LUCK MY WAY PLS

got an exam tomorrow that i’m naturally feeling awful about but am i allowed to luck farm 🤲🤲🤲 i need all that i can get it like an exam for my final grade for the subject for the year so pretty much it could matter but if i don’t badly i’ll say it won’t but the thing that like i’m upfront worried about is having to actually do it like if i sit down and can’t do any of the essay options (theres like 5 to choose from but that’s not as kind as it sounds cause they’re all pretty specific and difficult) that would be like the worst thing ever so yay
