Even though I generally don‘t enjoy them I‘m still trying a few more short story collections for the end of the year. Hope there are some good spookers in here.

🌠 Finished Klotsvog which was interesting but didn't quite move me, & King Lear which was madness & chaos & just superb
🌚 Read Black Light, a short story collection that's on the 2020 Tournament of Books longlist, but I was left indifferent #ToB

🌺 Started The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne for #NYRBbookclub & I'm already charmed
❓ Hope to fit in one more book this week but not sure what—can't wait to find out 😁
so-soI'm not sure what it is with contemporary short story collections from the North American Anglosphere, but I often feel deflated/bored. This has received critical acclaim & good reviews, & there's no denying that King Parsons can write a perfect sentence. However, despite the raw, grimy atmosphere & focus on people on the margins, it still came off like a cool, nonchalant, workshopped to death collection that left me feeling empty. #ToB #netgalley
Collection Perfection Thanks @AlgonquinBooks for this wonderful read.
Letzten Monat kamen einige Neuzugänge bei mir an, weil ich die Kategorie Verlosung im #Bookcrossing Forum gewonnen habe. Darunter auch diese Sammlung von Kürzestgeschichten, die es ganz schön in sich haben 😱
