Captain of the Sands - Jorge Amado. Novel by the great Brazilian writer about a gang of Bahian street kids. A story of friendship, honor and struggle under the backdrop of Salvador da Bahia—the mystical city macumbas and Candomble. Kind of like a Brazilian Outsiders. Anyone who ran with a pack of hooligans in thier youth will find a lot to love here. A very human tales from a very humanist writer. #books #bookstadon

I didn't mean to spend the morning reading instead of crunching my numbers, but argh I made the mistake of picking up Bitter Medicine again.

Now the numbers. For real... I got all six done, and only one is off. Let's hope I can fix it.

I must admit, they released a lot more information a lot earlier than I expected. I sort of thought it remained heavily classified well into the '50s.
But it does mean, for my outline, the town rumors that one of the main character worked on the Project is perfectly reasonable.

A little patch of land.
Bread on the table.
A dear friend you can talk to.
A small house you can call Home.
Rabbits…

Such a modest dream. And yet so impossibly out of reach.

Which character from this story stayed with you the most?

I didn't have queer gothic horror on my reding bingo list for this year, but here we go. Ghosts? Check. Haunting cats? Yep. Vampires? Definitely without the glitter.

Check out my review of All the Hearts You Eat by Hailey Piper.

What is considered horror can be extremely subjective and personal. What we carry with us through the chapters of our lives that haunt us shapes us.

Imagine being a final girl.

In this post, I review The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephan Graham Jones.

What happens when the person telling the story isn't quite as trustworthy as you thought when you started? Is the horror all in their head or in yours? I talk about two books with unreliable narrators that you should DEFINITELY check out! #books #bookstadon #horror #dragcryptid #reedfaster

It's wonderful to see the #academic community developing here. The great migration happened during #UPWeek in November, so we'd love to highlight some of our fellow presses in the @aupresses community to help everyone get to know more about #AcademicPublishing in #2023. To start, learn what's #NextUP at SUNY Press: https://sunypress.edu/Blog/2022/Who-is-NextUP-at-SUNY-Press
