“I love Halloween because all the time, everyone wears masks. But one night a year, they do it openly. The dark and forbidden things they wish to be but deny themselves, on Halloween they don’t. On Halloween, they embrace it, all of it. The hidden parts of the world are exposed, if only for one night. And those things that are truly dark are a little less alone.” ― C.J. Leede, Maeve Fly

i like having no discernible pattern to what books i read. first book of the year was hopecore space opera. second book was a grief novel that's also a romance. third book is disney parks princess turned slasher. fourth book is gonna be weird probably cancellable sci fi from the 60s. somewhere in here i'm reading disability nonfiction too.

You do not need a moral and noble story to do what you want. You do not first need to be a victim to become a monster.

Double Feature: C.J. Leede

Gross from a deeply female perspective, and demanding that the abyss stare back. I love that Leede constantly pushes the envelope of what it means to be 'feminine' under some wild situations.

Maeve Fly

The hook here is 'American Psycho for girls' which yes, Maeve is a depraved not-Disney princess who is just so incredibly vile. Here's an analogy from my original review that I think is still the best I can come up with for the story: I think the best way to describe this book as riding a good roller coaster and after one of the turns someone on the ride vomits on everyone and the ride mechanics, and oops, the coaster's on fire, oh and is that a serial killer dressed up as a generic princess waiting for you to get off the ride?

American Rapture

This follows Sophie, a teenager raised in an incredibly conservative family, told from her perspective, as a pandemic spreads. The virus, later called Sophia, has both flu like and sexual rage phases. There's a lot of zombie/virus/body horror stories/movies I thought of at that description, but I think this actually falls somewhere between the religious fanaticism of John Water's 'A Dirty Shame' and the spitting sadism of 'The Sadness'. Also, there's a reference to Trixie Mattel and I don't know if she knows but I think she'd love it.
