Favorite Books
Drawing Blood
Millenium Gothic
A very personal look into the 80s british goth scene (alongside mental illness and copious drug use). Definitely has a lot of flaws but I love it
Invisible Monsters
I understand why Ryan based an album on this
Night Players
Vampires in Las Vegas. In 2001. With lots of Vegas degeneracy. So yes this book was written specifically for me.
Nothing here yet!
100 Years of Solitude
beautiful writing and atmosphere yet disgusting and depressing (perfect)
Swimming in the Dark
best not romance novel ever
A Wizard of Earthsea
Very unique fantasy, pretty writing, plus an angsty self hating protagonist
No Longer Human
Yozo Oba is my favorite trainwreck
Palace Walk
1900s Egyptian history & politics through the eyes of the most disfunctional dramatic family ever.
9 Parts of Desire
Many interesting interviews with middle eastern and african women, some funny, some horrifying
