Two authors from #Round20 of #LMPBC !
Arden Powell for some terrifically unnerving horror, and K Ming Chang for creepy and insightful short stories!
I can‘t wait to explore more of each author‘s work, and I‘m super grateful for the members of #GroupQ for introducing me to these authors!
#SundayFunday Have a marvelous day! And don‘t forget to tag me in your responses!
pickA collection of short stories interpreting generational trauma, self discovery, & queerness.
This was such a fascinating read! Change‘s use of fabulism & body horror felt almost ephemeral. I felt like I was trying to catch smoke in my fingers. “Dykes” and “Resident Aliens” were probably my favorite stories.
Definitely going to seek out more of Chang‘s work! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Forgot to check my mail last night, but it‘s here! I can‘t wait to start it! @Bookzombie

pickThe waters of the bayou are rising. People from town are disappearing. & Eugene finds himself entranced by the Bonnie & Clyde pair that‘s swept into town.
Wow can Powell set a scene! I could feel the heaviness of a Louisiana summer against my skin. & the insidious creeping horror as we don‘t know really know anything that‘s going on. Really reminds me of Alma Katsu‘s historical horror. & I‘m definitely going to look up more by Powell. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
pickMore and more it‘s the feeling that a book gives me which is what I remember most. If it‘s a particularly powerful or emotional reading experience, I cherish it long after I forget the characters‘ names or other details. This is a book that will leave a lasting mark. Chang‘s imaginative, haunting writing really impressed me. I wanted to underline every sentence. ⬇️
It‘s in the mail! @Reggie it should be there by Monday! 💙
