Pretty not bad, but you won't really learn anything at all.
I listened to this one on audible.

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.

Okay, I didn't really Google "Cosmic Horror," but what better place than this series to introduce the genre to those unfamiliar with it?
This definition is very basic--narrow, even--as cosmic horror reaches into many different and deep, psychological horrors. -
Book Review: Oddbody by Rose Keating
Rose Keating’s debut short story collection, Oddbody features macabre body horror tales with funny, dark and unexpected twists and turns.
Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Genre: Simon & Schuster
Publisher: Short Stories, Horror, Literary Fiction, Speculative Fiction
Review in one word: Macabre
The title Oddbody is a strong signal about what lies between the covers as this collection of short stories: macabre body horror with funny and unexpected twists and turns. In the title story, a woman navigates a codependent relationship with a ghost. In “Squirm,” a daughter must tend to her father who is a man-sized squishy worm devouring himself from the inside out. If this sounds super weird…well it really is…but in a fascinating kind of way I can guarantee you!
“Pineapple” introduces a woman who makes the startling choice to have feather wings surgically attached to her back. In “Eggshells,” a waitress gives birth to an egg during her breakfast shift. These narratives are weird, fun, playful forms of body horror that anyone who loves weird fiction will savour and really love. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book quite like this, and it’s a unique and fresh take on the weird that draws me in here.
The overarching theme of Oddbody is the body itself—as a corporeal site of horror, desire, transformation, and liberation. Keating puts a powerful lens on the body anxieties that women and men have and she’s brutally honest and creepy in a way about it all. The stories are vividly rendered and enjoyable. I found this collection to be masterfully crafted, funny and so much fun to read! I would highly recommend you read it.
Rose Keating is a writer from Waterford, Ireland. She is a recipient of the Curtis Brown Prize and the Marian Keyes Young Writer Award. This collection Oddbody is a bold and surreal descent into a strange netherworld with characters who are grotesque, strange and the tender all at once. I highly recommend this collection if you want to disappear into strange corporeal places you never imagined existed!

Christopher Paoloni - Fractal Noise
Paoloni and I are from different places. He is a “qualified marksman in the Australian army” - I have a conscience certified by the Dutch state. He will never be caught “writing anything that's ultimate nihilistic or defeatist.” You will catch me enjoying stories like that.
The dark tale it apparently was as a first draft, is still in there, but it has been edited, cheared up. Eternal love and hope is sprinkled over it, because literary diabetes is not to be feared.
He does write engaging prose however. The tension he builds up when isolation is pressing on the crew makes for a captivating read that had me thinking about Scott and Amundsen more than once. Nicely done.
Still in the end I think this book is first and foremost a missed opportunity.

Just watched the Lady Chatterley’s Lover adaptation on #netflix , confirming I remember even less about that book than I thought.
.
I can’t imagine the book gave Connie even a glimmer of a happy ending . Did it?! Still have a copy, but can’t be bothered to re-read it.
