Kat reviewed Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova
So lung and thanks for all the flesh
5 stars
Oh dang, there I go giving another book five stars. But this was so good! Even when part way through I realised this could pass as magical realism, and I don't like magical realism!
Monstrilio weirdly reminds me most of a Paul Auster family drama, despite all the blood, guts, fur and fangs. Every character is so well realised yet I didn't notice when this happened. The structure, where each act is told through a different character, kept the story fresh and continually building. I was expecting a different ending, I'll leave it at that to avoid spoilers. I just really loved this. I've run out of books again.

I need to finish this over the weekend or I suspect I'm going to be ugly-crying on my commute next week

Kat reviewed The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty
A real page-eater
5 stars
Honestly this is an absolute banger of a book and maybe my favourite horror novel. It's tense, scary, multifaceted, funny, shocking and entertaining. I haven't actually seen the movie before, quite an omission on my part but I'm really glad I read this book first - I didn't see the ending coming.

House is always haunt

This is a very incremental psychological horror about our propensity to absorb and assimilate the not-quite-right in ways that aren't good for us. It's quite brilliantly done as sort of a haunted house story, but also a story about two people and their relationship. I really loved it.
