pickHow much trauma can one room fit? Well. Surprisingly enough to fit a whole 120 page book. This was a short read but for sure a hell of a ride to get through, not one minute made me go “Ugh.” I do recommend. I also have to add, content warning. So be prepared, be very prepared.
My dude, that‘s a very big deal and def should be investigated… this poor kid, saddled with two bad parents on either end of the spectrum (one way too hands on and the other way too hands off).
This manga is creepy and unsettling and I‘m basically bingeing it as fast as I can get from library. Probably should be worried about that fact - but zero regrets here. 😬😳😂
pickA short nicely disturbing read. I like my books with shock factors in it and this definitely gave me that. This is one of the hyped up books that lived to the title. I quite enjoyed it and it reminded me of a Japanese book called In the Miso Soup. Dark. 🤘🏻
“But I do think places, like this motel room, I think they hold on to bad things, the way people hold on to memories. Grief. Pain. Disease. Addiction.”
I wonder where this is going…🌚
My first thought for dark on day 9 of the #scarathlonphotochallenge was baker.reads my favourite horror book TikTok creator who recommends some Very dark stuff. If anyone is on TikTok and wants some dark recommendations with detailed trigger warnings and thoughtful commentary check him out! #scarathlon #skeletoncrew @Clwojick @StayCurious
pan🌟dipped my toe in extreme horror to see what all@the controversy surrounding this sub-genre is all about. YouTube wars between an author and YouTube reviewer. Well, thank goodness this was short. I love horror, but don‘t need to be grossed out. Nothing scary about it. Cheap thrills. But cool for those that do. Not for me, first and last one.
pickThis very eerie and disturbing manga thriller/horror continues. Selichi and his mother are very close, maybe too close. This has the aftermath of a tragic incident after book 1. This story is so ominous and creepy, mostly established through the art, as there is very little dialog. I am intrigued and will continue the series. 4⭐️
Picking up where the events of vol. 1 left off, the second volume is even better, It is hard to describe so far without spoilers, but I would call it a dark psychological drama about a mother & son in a toxic relationship. I have already placed a hold on a couple more volumes.
Vol. 1 of Oshimi's manga tells of Seiichi Osabe & his mother Seiko who takes helicopter parenting to a whole new level. I have not read much manga, but my experience with it is that it relies heavily on plot. This can be a benefit for readers who have busy schedules & are looking for a format that delivers a quick story. They are like espresso stories. The downside is that they sometimes don't leave room for psychological (cont)
