“Già,l'amore” dissi

“Parliamo di questo sentimento che non riuscivi a dominare

Come lo descriveresti?”

Qui Stella fece un'altra pausa

Poi con voce stanca,

riprese

“Se non lo sai non

posso spiegartelo”

Edgar's Book Round-Up, June 2026 — Broken Hands Media

Despite a childhood punctuated by driveway M80s and bottle rockets, I have lost my taste for fireworks.

More book reviews from Edgar, running the gamut from contemporary horror through writing craft and critical museum practice, all under the shadow of a true "nineteenth century chungus."

血のささやき、水のつぶやき パトリック・マグラア、宮脇孝雄・訳 河出書房新社 装幀＝渋川育由

[pocketseizure]

I remember everything narrow: rooms, houses, yards, alleys, streets - narrow and dark and constricted, all pushed together beneath an oppressive sky in which the smoke from the chimneypots trailed off in vague, stringy wisps and strands, a sky filled with rainclouds - it always seemed to be raining, and if it wasn't raining it was always about to rain. There was blackened brickwork, and grimy walls, and against them gray figures in raincoats scurried home like phantoms through the late winter afternoons before the lamps were lit.

- Patrick McGrath, Spider (1990)

To want to die in the forest and be eaten by wolves: another marker of incipient madness.
