I did my best to include two books, but Blackwell's pricing wouldn't allow a combination of basically anything interesting with my first choice, Aliya Whiteley (in particular her short story collection "From the neck up", or the fungi-heavy "Beauty").
In the end, I settled on "Occultation and other stories" by Laird Barron (9781597805148).
Here are some of the other books I considered getting you:
"Cthulhusattva: Tales of the Black Gnosis", Edited by Scott R. Jones 9781927673164
"Future lovecraft", Edited by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Paula R. Stiles 9781607013532
"Exemplary departures" by Gabrielle Wittkop 9781939663139
"Malpertuis", by Jean Ray 9781939663702
If We Were Villains, ML Rio 9781803364919 (much-anticipated new dark academia release)
"The House on the Borderland", by William Hope Hodgson
"Amatka", by Karin Tidbeck (Troligen föredrar du läsa den här på svenska)
A story collection by Mariana Enríquez
A story collection by Claude Seignolle
I hope these authors / texts may serve their purpose as recommendations! Happy reading! (Dec 4, 2023, 8:56am)
