Another story follows a young monster, forced into underground fight rings without knowing his own power. “The Embodiment” takes us into a dystopian gynecology office where a pregnant woman is told that she must find a father for her baby or face horrific consequences. “The Head” follows a woman haunted by her own bodily waste. But in this unforgettable collection, translated by the acclaimed Anton Hur, Chung’s absurd, haunting universe could be our own. By turns thought-provoking and stomach-turning, here monsters take the shapes of furry woodland creatures and danger lurks in unexpected corners of everyday apartment buildings. “Like the work of Carmen Maria Machado and Aoko Matsuda, Chung’s stories are so wonderfully, blisteringly strange and powerful that it's almost impossible to put Cursed Bunny down.” ―Kelly Link, bestselling author of Get In TroubleĪ stunning, wildly original debut from a rising star of Korean literature-surreal, chilling fables that take on the patriarchy, capitalism, and the reign of big tech with absurdist humor and a (sometimes literal) biteįrom an author never before published in the United States, Cursed Bunny is unique and imaginative, blending horror, sci-fi, fairy tales, and speculative fiction into stories that defy categorization.

Hounded (Iron Druid Chronicles) Audiobook – Kevin Hearne Streaming. Now he’s living in Tempe, Arizona, the very last of the Druids, much from where the Fae can conveniently locate him. As the centuries passed as well as Atticus continued to be an irritatingly long-lived fugitive, those who were furious only grew more so, while others started to help him in secret. After he took a wonderful sword from the Tuatha Dé Danann (those that came to be the Sidhe or the Fae) in an initial century fight, some of them were furious as well as gave chase, as well as some were privately amused that a Druid had the cheek to defy them. Atticus O’Sullivan has actually been competing two thousand years and also he’s a little bit fed up with it. If you’ve never read Stephen Graham Jones before, this is a really good place to start. His voice is familiar yet unique we’ve all known a kid like Sawyer, and Jones does a good job tugging on that recognition and then twisting it into something awful. Jones crafts the main character, Sawyer, with messy precision. It’s also about a young man losing his tether on reality. This isn’t just a story about a mannequin that comes to life and starts killing people. The trap has sprung, the knife has cut, and the blood is flowing. By that point, however, it’s much too late. The further you get into the story, the more you realize those little moments earlier on that felt off or odd or jarring were actually big clues as to what is about to happen. The book begins innocently enough – with a teenage prank – but quickly spirals into bloody chaos. While the latter is much shorter than the former, it’s just as creepy and chilling as everything else Jones writes. He has two books out this year, The Only Good Indians (which was so unsettling I had to stop listening to the audiobook at work and wait for my hold to come through at the library for the print copy) and Night of the Mannequins. And on top of that, he’s incredibly prolific. Who doesn’t love Stephen Graham Jones? The man writes horror like no one else. But will it be enough to get his ass back home?

Corpse also puns with the noun ‘ corps’, the colloquial term for corporations this pairing exemplifies the central premise of the novel that late capitalism is intimately connected to death and extinction. However, it also incorporates the noun ‘corpse’ which reminds readers of its menacing nature. When said aloud, the name has a playful lilt to it, which contrasts with what the word represents. Another neologism is ‘CorpSeCorps’, the name of the brutal security agency akin to ‘1984’s ‘thoughtpolice’, which exists to maintain the corporations’ power. Indeed, Elaine Showalter believes Atwood’s “sappy double ‘o’ coinages” are a disdainful representation of American pronunciation’, criticising primarily Americanized consumerism and thus further intensifying the link between today’s society and the society depicted in the novel. Brand names such as ‘AnooYoo’, include capitalizations or duplications reminding readers of current brand names and thus establishing a stronger link between today’s consumerism and the novel’s mockery of this consumerism. Atwood uses neologisms in ‘Oryx and Crake’ to denote corporations and their products, which contributes to the critique of consumerism explored through the novel. Since then, I’ve been lacking in writing that only David Mitchell can deliver, so when I saw Slade House I just had to have it.

But what really goes on inside Slade House? For those who find out, it’s already too late… Every nine years, the house’s residents - an odd brother and sister - extend a unique invitation to someone who’s different or lonely: a precocious teenager, a recently divorced policeman, a shy college student.
