If you hadn't noticed, the reader is in her horror era and will be here for some time. Perhaps she never wants to leave ✋🏽.

Anyway, these 2 titles have been on my radar, and I've jumped into them one after another. An experience that is a 10/10, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone 🙈.

🎧📖 𝟓𝟕: 𝐈𝐭𝐜𝐡! 𝐛𝐲 𝐆𝐞𝐦𝐦𝐚 𝐀𝐦𝐨𝐫

♤ For ▪︎ worm, ants, insects, and the combination of folkore and murder mystery horror ▪︎ read Itch! by Gemma Amor, most especially if you did enjoy You Weren't Meant to be Human.

📖🎧 𝟓𝟖: 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐛𝐲 𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐚, 𝐆𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐢 (𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫)

♤ For ▪︎ weird, descent to madness, lovers of The Vegetarian ▪︎ read Earthlings by Sayaka Murata.

As usual, both of these novels offer commentary as well that are very highlighted. Please see Trigger Warnings of these books as well if you decide to start them 📌. Reviews at the bottom.

ITCH!, Gemma Amor

“Josie is at rock bottom, living a haunted existence after returning to her isolated hometown on the edge of the Forest of Dean.

When she stumbles across a decaying, ant-infested body in the woods. Josie plummets into a downward spiral, facing uncomfortable truths about the victim and her own past - all whilst battling a infestation that seems to have burrowed into her mind . . . and her flesh.

Desperate for absolution, she scratches the surface of an age-old mystery - a masked predator stalks the forest around Ellwood, a place deeply gripped by ancient folklore. So when the village prepares for its annual festival and Josie gets closer and closer to unveiling a monster, she begins to ask herself:

Are these dark crawling insects leading her to uncover the truth?

Or is she their next victim?”

Itch! - Spooky Kids

So, he is back. You probably know him as leader singer of the punk band The King Blues. The band split not too long ago, just after releasing their last album, something that upset us very much.

But we are happy to have Itch! back with "Spooky Kids", included in a 4 tracks EP where you will find punk, pop, reggae, folk, and dubstep. Pure Itch! 

Meet Itch! at Twitter, he has always something to say.
