Old art: Here's an illustration I did for a postcard for an exhibit of my original art from Alabaster, a comics series I drew at Dark Horse, written by Caitlin R Kiernan. I just remembered it because of all the downed trees around here!

Book Review: The Red Tree by Caitlín R. Kiernan
Tumblr media
This is exactly the sort of book that seeps into your skin and stays with you... or just an intensely frustrating and unsatisfying read if you're not into this kind of storytelling. Luckily for me, I very much am into it.
The Red Tree is, more or less, a horror novel. It's also a very slow-paced, meandering and dreamlike character study with an unreliable and, to some, unlikeable protagonist. What horror there is in this book is eerie, unsettling, full of tangents and implications, blank spots and mystery. I've read it once before and I found myself not very happy with it, but my taste did a complete 180 last year about most of what makes this book so compelling: the slow pace, the messy and poisonous character dynamics, the amount of question marks within the story. More than anything, I fell in love with the protagonist's voice: Sarah Crowe, whose unhinged journal is the main text of the book, is cynical, mean, obsessive and a generally toxic presence, which made her last relationship end in tragedy... and she's fully, painfully aware of all this. She's also a middle-aged lesbian, and it was honestly really good and refreshing to read sapphic horror where the women are allowed to be bitchy and flawed and damaging to each other, because a lot of sapphic rep I've seen in this genre presents the wlw romance as a force of good in a dark narrative. This book isn't only horror: it's an exploration of bad relationships, and the way people sometimes just can't do the right things for each other, or even for themselves. These characters really stood out, and I came to love them not despite but because of their massive flaws. That's exactly why that ending sent chills down my spine.
What else can I say? This book unsettled me, enchanted me, creeped me out, and left me with a deep sadness after reading. I'm so glad I decided to give it another chance.

Does it count as a currently reading stack if some of them have been there since 2016? 😅 This doesn't even include the book I'm actually reading this week.

The Drowning Girl by Caitlín R. Kiernan
goodreads
Tumblr media
India Morgan Phelps--Imp to her friends--is schizophrenic. She can no longer trust her own mind, because she is convinced that her memories have somehow betrayed her, forcing her to question her very identity. Struggling with her perception of reality, Imp must uncover the truth about an encounter with a vicious siren, or a helpless wolf that came to her as a feral girl, or neither of these things but something far, far stranger...
Mod opinion: I've read this one and it's really, really interesting to read.

Book Review:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to read #79 for the year- Daughter Of Hounds by Caitlin R. Kiernan.
A brilliant and action packed finale to her Deacon Silvey trilogy. This is a reread, and it gets better and better every time I read it. Kind of like a Kiernan’s greatest hits collection. The ghouls , Madame Terpsichore, The Bailiff, the underground labyrinth beneath Rhode Island’s Swan Point cemetery, The Children Of The Cuckoo, The Yellow House at 135 Benefit St, time manipulation, mini universes captured inside snow globes… all kinds of cool shit! Kiernan’s imagination and brilliant prose are on full display here. Can be read as a stand-alone, but my recommendation is to start with Threshold and then read Low Red Moon before tackling this. You will get so much more out of it. All three books are very different, and are all fantastic. As a matter of fact, go read everything by Caitlin Kiernan! 📚📚📚

There's some nifty original art of mine available in the @helioscopepdx store! Here's an original page from Alabaster, a horror/fantasy series written by Caitlin R Kiernan that won the Bram Stoker Award for Best Graphic Novel.
(God I loved drawing that bird.)

SPOILERS FOR THE DREAMING ISSUES 52-54
Re-reading The Corinthian’s run in The Dreaming and just thinking about them.
Tumblr media
How Sila was willing to kill someone for The Corinthian because they clearly LOVED HIM. How their nightmares were ones where he left them and they were alone.
Tumblr media
How The Corinthian only showed real fear, even after being attacked and almost dying as a mortal, when he realized Sila was in danger.
Tumblr media
How The Corinthian’s ONLY concern was saving them. Because maybe he loved Sila too.
Tumblr media
How it still wasn’t enough and The Corinthian was left completely alone despite doing everything he could.
Anyway, I think they deserve a re-write and all the happiness in the world.
