Unsung Stories Haul!

I got THE most delightful box stuffed FULL OF BOOKS yesterday, because I really wanted UNEXPECTED PLACES TO FALL FROM, UNEXPECTED PLACES TO LAND after supremely enjoying the author's other book (AND THEN I WOKE UP).

Turns out the publisher was closing up shop, so they were offering deep discounts on all their paperback stock to clear it out. I figured what the hell, I can always use more weird fucked up SFF/H, so here we are.

#books #book photography #my photography #unsung stories #malcolm devlin #unexpected places to fall from unexpected places to land #i'm excited for the others in this stack too although i haven't looked closely!!#it's just all weird and fucked up and i'm here for that shit #also this is the spiders georg box btw #like i WAS tracking how many books i've acquired this year....and then.....this happened #nyoops

— I've had four back-to-back 5 star reads, all so different but so wonderful, and I'm reading what I think is going to be a fifth edition to this winning streak. Still behind on my reading goal 🥲 but quality over quantity!

77/120

4/5

A library book.

This was interesting. The writing style was unique, it was told from first person but like the narrator is speaking in a group therapy session. It was nice.

I really enjoyed the propaganda and the conversations around it. It has a blurb from Mira Grant and now I really want to read her series Feed. The characters were very well done and each had their own personality, very easy to tell one from another.

This is one I definitely recommend going in knowing the bare minimum. Especially, since it is a short novella.

Latest haul today...

I got a chance to visit the bookstore today. I’ve been saving up my money since the beginning of the year and I got to make a run through the bookstore. I could have spent longer in there but the hubby was on a schedule so I kind of had to hurry. I did get some stuff that I’ve been looking for but I also found some other stuff that wasn’t exactly on my list either. When I’m normally browsing the…

“They’re not people anymore, he’d say. Not real people. He was firm on that point. Really firm, you know. They were beyond help. But still. I’d have to look, because even then, there was something strange about seeing them. Wandering around houses as though they did still live there. As though they were still real people.” “They were real people.” “I know that now!” I wasn’t sure if the anger in her voice was aimed at me or herself.

“No, Spence, the're monsters. Literally. They're eating the customers.” I looked at her. “They're not eating the customers,” I said. “They are! Jesus, Spence, what do you think that noise is? People are screaming.” And she was right, they were. Or at least they were in that moment. As soon as she told me what I was supposed to be hearing, I heard it. The clatter and conversation of the restaurant lunch rush was immediately replaced with the worst kind of animal noises; the smell of baked pizza crust and melted cheese was substituted completely with the unmistakeable smell of rotten meat. Macey spoke and the world clarified as though her description it served as a corrective lens. and then i woke up - malcolm devlin

Review: And Then I Woke Up by Malcolm Devlin

Author: Malcolm DevlinPublisher: Tor.comReleased: April 12, 2022Received: NetGalley And Then I Woke Up is the latest novel by Malcolm Devlin, though if I’m being honest, it is also the first novel I’ve read by this author. However, when I saw the pitch for this book, I knew I had to read it. Anytime you promise me a book that reads like a Mira Grant or Stephen Graham Jones novel, I’m…

Review of And Then I Woke Up—Existential Zombies

“…And then I woke up.” These are the words that nearly every reader dreads to hear at the end of a story, suggesting as they do that the characters and situations the reader has just gotten attached to have been nothing more than a dream. But how about at the start of the story? Malcolm Devlin’s latest horror novel, And Then I Woke Up, explores the struggles of characters who have just awakened…

for the book asks, 2, 6, and 15 please! Hope you get better soon!!

hi, friend!! thanks for asking! referencing this post.

2. Did any book inspire you to seek out further media, such as the movie/show/fanfiction? How did you feel about that take?

so MOST of what i read this year doesn't have a movie/show affiliated, is what a quick scroll through my goodreads says, and i don't read much fanfic (i prefer reading not on a screen). i did, however, scroll through the SYSTEM COLLAPSE tag for murderbot purposes for like 72 business hours after finishing it! much giggling and cackling and shrieking ensued, so. good takes and good enrichment all around, there. your honor i love them all

i'm tentatively interested in the ANNIHILATION movie (especially because i know vandermeer borderline hate-watches it himself, and i'm SO intrigued haha), and maybe in ROADSIDE PICNIC adjacent things, but i'm very bad at committing to watching anything so i have not done either of these yet.

6. Any new favorite authors?

a bunch of my high star ratings this year are authors i've read before (see: martha wells, alix harrow, jeff vandermeer, etc), which makes this one harder than i thought it'd be.

new to me, i have really enjoyed t. kingfisher, and i'm keeping an eye out for more by naomi salman and dolki min and malcolm devlin! salman and min both only have one book-length work out a piece, so i might be Eye Keeping for a while (which is fine! i can wait--they're both definitely worth it).

15. A book you never thought you'd be into but were proven wrong.

okay so please don't judge me for judging books by their covers but: i don't tend to pick up SFF books with ~militaristic~ or ~militaristically drab*~ covers, because that's not really my jam (and also i really like colorful things).

that being said: i was pleasantly surprised by how much i enjoyed IMPERIAL RADCH by ann leckie (which came highly recommended by several trusted friends)--it started kind of rocky, but it definitely grew on me and i'm obsessed with breq now AND THE TRANSLATORS, I LOVE THE TRANSLATORS, i'm so excited for TRANSLATION STATE to come out in paperback in may (it's already VERY pre-ordered haha).

*(i would like the record to show the other series i had this problem with recently was, in fact, murderbot, and we all know how that turned out.)(delightfully.)

thanks again for asking!!

#text #answered #book asks #ask games #end of year #murderbot #system collapse #imperial radch #ann leckie #martha wells #dolki min #naomi salman #malcolm devlin #also thank u for your well wishes i appreciate it!!#i am fortunately at the 'it feels like a head cold and not death' level of plague lmao #i wish i could smell things but it could be very much worse...#six-of-ravens

Episode 309: The tougher the better

Over the years, nine writers were credited with scripts for Dark Shadows. This is the final episode attributed to Malcolm Marmorstein, who is not among the eight best of those writers.* Well-meaning governess Vicki has told her depressing fiancé Burke that she will break off their engagement unless he ends his investigation of her friend, courtly gentleman Barnabas Collins. Burke comes to see…

Reaper Darling meeting my immortal boys- (Reapers don't really exist in their universe, but I thought it'd be funny especially with Silas. For those unaware, Silas' death was a case of accidental asphyxiation while... pleasuring himself with a belt)

-

Reaper Darling: So let me get this straight - you all faced horrible demises and yet you still roam the earth?

Silas: Not me- my death was the best experience of my life!

Reaper Darling: We'll get to you. I have to have you in my records somewhere... Mal... I presume it's sort for Malcolm. Says here you were infected with some type of parasite? I guess that explains the feathers...

Mal: You are correct on all accounts. Pleasure to meet you.

Reaper Darling: Devlin - Poisoned by a spiteful relative and buried before your body even turned cold.

Devlin: Right here with the trauma to prove it, babes. How much information you got on me in that little book of yours? If you need my number I can pen it down real quick.

Reaper Darling: Maybe some other time.... Silas... It says here that you ...... [looks closer at the page] ....

Silas: Heheh.... What's it say? [Reaches out to grab Darling's notebook]

Reaper Darling, taking ten steps back: Please don't touch me.
