hey it's exactly one month until the release of my queer cozy horror THE LORD OF THE WOOD, soooooooo ask me anything?

(this trope map brought to you by my friend Ness, who made the excellent additions to my original)

just for that anon who complained last time I shared this style of graphic about the book, here's the pitch I most like to share:

a 43-year-old undiagnosed autistic guy has a gay/lowkey monsterfucker awakening after getting lost in an enchanted forest, while his 36-year-old disabled deeply closeted sapphic sister goes after him with the most annoying woman she's ever met

🦀 Wild card! (Ask your own question.)

(Feel free to answer in the plural despite asking for only one book/etc, bc goodness knows I can never pick one favorite.)

Very sadly, Katabasis by R.F. Kuang. I loved the Poppy War books, I loved Babel, and on paper this was tailor-made just for me; it came out right around my birthday and I got it as my present. However, I... didn't love it. I finished it, but it was very underwhelming and felt like half a project. The writing was pedestrian, the characters were not fleshed out (there were so many threads that could have been focused on -- not least, why is this set in the 1980s and that is never alluded to or explored, is there more going on, etc?) and every few pages, the story had to grind to a halt so they could laboriously explain some Scholarly Knowledge that sounded like it was written according to the Tumblr Manual of Discourse. A journey through hell might be a slog by nature, but still! Come on!
