  • Bunny

    Bunny

    By Mona Awad

    SPOILERS

    Released 2019, 305 pages.

    Samantha Heather Mackey couldn’t be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program at New England’s Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort–a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other “Bunny,” and seem to move and speak as one. 

    But everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies’ fabled “Smut Salon,” and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door–ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the Bunnies’ sinister yet saccharine world, beginning to take part in the ritualistic off-campus “Workshop” where they conjure their monstrous creations, the edges of reality begin to blur. Soon, her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies will be brought into deadly collision. 

    Rating: 1.5 out of 5.

    REVIEW

    THEMES: HORROR, THRILLER, TENSE, MEDIUM-PACED.

    Samantha Heather Mackey – a student in a competitive MFA programme – has to deal with four peculiar women in her class, who affectionately call each other ‘bunny’. Despite frequently expressing her dislike for the bunnies, she cannot hide her pleasure when she is invited to one of their exclusive hangouts. As someone with few friends, she decides to go. Though, they are everything and nothing like she imagined – it is interesting how one night can push someone so far down the rabbit hole.

    Bunny is a novel which I remember in vivid detail – so I can confidently share that it is a book that leaves an impression.

    The characters are interesting, though a little cliche (loner who wants to fit in, nonconformist emo/alternative best friend, and a clique of ‘mean’ girls). However, Awad uses the plot of the story to distract from the unoriginal character dynamics – in saying that, with such an intense story, having simpler structures may be better suited. Otherwise, it could become over-the-top and confusing.

    Awad has a descriptive writing style and knows how to keep her audience captivated – I read this a while ago and still virtually remember everything that happens, which is rare, as I normally only remember snippets. Everything was so colourful and prominent; it really felt like I was Samantha.

    The reason I have given such a low rating is because of the ending. Throughout the entire book, I struggled to differentiate between what was real and what was a hallucination – which became very tiring, very quickly. Whilst I noticed she has schizophrenia halfway through, I thought maybe just some of it was made up – but to find out it was all fake, I was livid. It is the equivalent to ‘and then she opened her eyes’. Essentially, I spent hours of my time reading a fictional manic episode – if it was a non-fiction at least I would have learnt something. Obviously, this is all personal preference, though I will never understand how anyone can enjoy being messed with for three hundred pages.

    This book reminds me of Boy Parts by Eliza Clark (which I also was not a big fan of), so if you enjoyed that, then definitely give Bunny a try.

  • The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea

    The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea

    By Yukio Mishima

    SPOILERS

    Released 1963, 181 pages,

    A band of thirteen-year-old boys reject the stupidity of the adult world. They decide it is illusory, hypocritical and sentimental, and train themselves in a brutal callousness they call ‘objectivity’. When the mother of one of them begins an affair with a ship’s officer, he and his friends idealise the man at first, but it is not long before they conclude that he is, in fact, soft and romantic. They regard this disillusionment as an act of betrayal on his part – and the retribution is deliberate and horrifying.

    Rating: 4 out of 5.

    REVIEW

    THEMES: DARK, DISTURBING, CLASSIC, MEDIUM-PACED.

    Warning; animal abuse, incestuous behaviours and gore.

    The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea follows a single mother and her son, Noboru. The dynamic between the two is complex and unconventional – which only becomes more bizarre once his mother meets Ryuji, an experienced sailor. Noboru and his friends start to develop a set of expectations on how people should behave, and unfortunately Ryuji is not meeting his criteria.

    This is such a strange book, it makes you wonder what the author experienced to even think to write it. It is not a ‘horror’, per say, but at times reads like one.

    The characters are interesting. Noboru and his friends are the epitome of childish arrogance, with their self-assured dogmatic views. It perfectly captures that time of youth when you think you know everything and it makes me cringe. However, their emphasis on male behaviours was an unexpected surprise. They set such rigid standards for how men should perform in society, and if they don’t act accordingly, they consider it unheroic- which is not what I would have anticipated from a group of young boys.

    His mother brings some much-needed normality to the book, nicely evening out all the absurdity. I found it interesting that she is the only main character who remains nameless. The boyfriend of the mother, Ryuji, is my favourite character. It is clear that he is simply making the best out of a strange situation and is a kind person. Though, his lenient response to Noboru spying on his mother was disturbing – though, what is more horrifying is the fact that Noboru wanted to be punished.

    The plot is intense and confronting – a child spying on his mother through a peephole, mercilessly beating a cat and murdering his mother’s boyfriend. Somehow, I felt nowhere near as bleak as I have with other books, that are far less severe.

    Overall, I enjoyed the book, despite the disturbing content. I would recommend to horror readers – or someone who has an interest in books that feature peculiar family dynamics.

  • The Picture of Dorian Gray

    The Picture of Dorian Gray

    By Oscar Wilde

    SPOILERS

    Released 1890, 272 pages.

    ‘I am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die. I am jealous of the portrait you have painted of me … Why did you paint it? It will mock me some day – mock me horribly!’

    A story of evil, debauchery and scandal, Oscar Wilde’s only novel tells of Dorian Gray, a beautiful yet corrupt man. When he wishes that a perfect portrait of himself would bear the signs of ageing in his place, the picture becomes his hideous secret, as it follows Dorian’s own downward spiral into cruelty and depravity. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a masterpiece of the evil in men’s hearts, and is as controversial and alluring as Wilde himself.

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

    REVIEW

    THEMES: DARK, REFLECTIVE, HORROR, LITERARY, FAST-PACED.

    A plot description was surprisingly hard to come by, but as in the overview, The Picture Of Dorian Gray is about a man who becomes obsessed with his appearance and will do anything to stop himself from aging.

    What I enjoy about this book is the plot, the characters and Wilde’s expression.

    The plot is captivating and well thought out. The best way to describe it is that you are experiencing someone else’s mania – but not in a jarring way that confuses you. Personally, I have yet to read anything like it, which is surprising considering the number of unavoidable repeats on the market nowadays, where the same idea gets re written in ten different ways.

    The characters feel appropriate to the time. Now, this is coming from someone who has no idea what they’re talking about, but if asked to show an accurate depiction of nineteenth-century Victorian elites, I would show an excerpt from this book. The characters are eccentric yet predictable — Gray being the exception. He has a raw, unapologetic nature, which leads me to believe he may have been Wilde’s alter ego.

    ‘Wilde’s expression’ means that I could feel him through his writing. Whilst I do not think this book is ‘LGBTQIA+’ – as there is no explicit homosexuality – Wilde’s writing conveys his preference for men, as there is an intensity within the male friendships (Gray and Wotton), that exceeds anything platonic. Then again, knowing Wilde’s sexual orientation may have swayed my judgement.

    Wilde’s writing style is generally consistent, though halfway through, there’s about ten pages of drivel. I understand the purpose: to encapsulate mania and/or portray the bottomless time Gray has on his hands — yet it falls flat and reads like word vomit. It feels as though Wilde is trying to show off his expansive knowledge of different subjects in a covert way.

    I’m not a fan of Lord Wotton’s character. The way he is written is so pretentious. His constant witty remarks and over-the-top language feel affected. And I have to blame Wilde’s writing, not just my dislike for the character.

    I also found the ending a little cliché — although, to be fair, this might be the story that started it all.

    All in all, it’s a decent classic. I banged it out in one day — though I’d avoid that. It’s bleak and gave me a headache.

    I would recommend this to lovers of classics (though it has probably already been ticked off the list), those looking to get into classic literature, and horror readers.

  • Memoirs Of A Geisha

    By Aurthor Golden

    SPOILERS

    Released 1997, 448 pages.

    In “Memoirs of a Geisha,” we enter a world where appearances are paramount; where a girl’s virginity is auctioned to the highest bidder; where women are trained to beguile the most powerful men; and where love is scorned as illusion.

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

    REVIEW

    THEMES: HISTORICAL, EMOTIONAL, DECEPTION, FRIENDSHIP, MEDIUM-PACED.

    This book definitely deserves the reputation it has earned. I always see it in the second-hand shops, so I – unfairly – assumed it was ‘good’ but nothing special. This was one of those books where I knew within the first few pages that I would love it.

    The relationship dynamics that Sayuri has with each character feels realistic. Golden is able to subtly display the impact each character left on Sayuri, no matter how small – in regard to the roles they played in her life. His writing style is immersive, and his storytelling allows the mind to wander into the pages of the book.

    I love how female-centred this story is. Regardless of any transgressions the women committed, they have strength in their own right and are respected in their role.

    It is a common misconception that a Geisha is likened to a prostitute – whilst this is addressed in the book – it is not pushed or stigmatized like it could have been. Although, I do not want to praise an author for doing the bare minimum – as it should be expected that a male, white author would respect a traditional, Japanese (female dominated), profession.

    I really did not like the ending of this book. Throughout the story, the readers ‘watch’ as Sayuri becomes wise and independent as a result of years of adversity. Whilst she did pine for the Chairman, it did not feel intense or reciprocated enough to derail her self-made image. Which is why the whole book lost some integrity when Golden gave into the ‘happily-ever-after’ ploy. By doing this, it continues the narrative that, whilst a woman can have an elaborate list of achievements and hardships, a man loving her back makes it all worth it. Sickening.

    The worst part of it (to me) is that the Chairman is made out to be some sort of protagonist. He groomed Sayuri until adulthood, watched as she suffered through life and then confesses his ‘strong’ feelings for her, whilst married. He is just as bad as the rest of the men, save for the Baron.

    I would recommend anyone give this book a go, especially if you are interested in Japanese history or the Japanese culture.

  • Our Wives Under The Sea

    By Julia Armfield

    SPOILERS

    Released 2022, 232 pages.

    Miri thinks she has got her wife back, when Leah finally returns after a deep-sea mission that ended in catastrophe. It soon becomes clear, though, that Leah may have come back wrong. Whatever happened in that vessel, whatever it was they were supposed to be studying before they were stranded on the ocean floor, Leah has carried part of it with her, onto dry land and into their home.

    To have the woman she loves back should mean a return to normal life, but Miri can feel Leah slipping from her grasp. Memories of what they had before – the jokes they shared, the films they watched, all the small things that made Leah hers – only remind Miri of what she stands to lose. Living in the same space but suddenly separate, Miri comes to realize that the life that they had might be gone.

    Rating: 4 out of 5.

    REVIEW

    THEMES: HORROR, LGBTQIA+, DARK, EMOTIONAL, FAST-PACED.

    Whilst it is accurate to describe this book as ‘horror’, it is not in the way you would think – as it is nothing like the horror books I have read prior. The best way I can describe it, is that it is ‘symbolic horror’, which I am pretty sure I just made up.

    Armfield’s storytelling was exceptional, I have never been more captivated by an author’s style of writing before. She has such a relatable way of conveying points. It felt conversational. By this I mean quotes like, ‘It went on too long and too helplessly. The way anyone who sneezes more than four times abruptly loses sympathy of an audience’. To me, this is such a human experience, articulated in a clever and witty way.

    The juxtaposition between Miri and Leah’s point of view was jarring. It makes it hard for the reader to decide who to sympathize with more. ‘Watching’ Miri mourn her living wife and revisit their fondest memories, then reading Leah’s final letters to Miri was devastating. I felt a pang in my heart during their final parting – the fact they had to let go of each other but insured that the other person was allowed their closure was touching.

    The biggest takeaway I got from this story is to treasure the relationship you have with your loved ones, and not to take it for granted.

    I would recommend this to someone who is trying to get into horror as it is a tame gateway book. Though, I would recommend anyone give this book a go, as Armfield’s writing style is very charming and fresh.

  • Big Swiss

    By Jen Beagin

    SPOILERS

    Released 2023, 325 pages.

    Greta lives with her friend Sabine in an ancient Dutch farmhouse in Hudson, New York. The house, built in 1737, is unrenovated, uninsulated, and full of bees. Greta spends her days transcribing therapy sessions for a sex coach who calls himself Om. She becomes infatuated with his newest client, a repressed married woman she affectionately refers to as Big Swiss, since she’s tall, stoic, and originally from Switzerland. Greta is fascinated by Big Swiss’s refreshing attitude toward trauma. They both have dark histories, but Big Swiss chooses to remain unattached to her suffering while Greta continues to be tortured by her past.

    One day, Greta recognizes Big Swiss’s voice at the dog park. In a panic, she introduces herself with a fake name and they quickly become enmeshed. Although Big Swiss is unaware of Greta’s true identity, Greta has never been more herself with anyone. Her attraction to Big Swiss overrides her guilt, and she’ll do anything to sustain the relationship…

    Rating: 4 out of 5.

    REVIEW

    THEMES: DRY, HUMOROUS, LGBTQIA+, DARK, MEDIUM-PACED.

    I would love to know what sparked this idea in Beagin; there is an air of originality to it.

    Something I discovered whilst reading, is that something is only as embarrassing as you make it. Greta displays some rather absurd behaviours but has a care-free outlook which almost nullifies it.

    Beagin’s writing is well-structured and left an impression of maturity. The unconventional way Greta sees the world and the observations she makes feels unique to Beagin. Being able to sense the writer voice through their work, which is always a plus for me.

    The plot is interesting. It is a snapshot into a slightly eccentric person’s life. There is not beginning or end per say.

    The relationship between Greta and her roommate Sabine feels distant even though they have an obvious bond. Greta observes some behavioural changes in Sabine yet chooses to ignore them – either out of worry for overstepping or being too caught up in her own life. The fact that Sabine was addicted to drugs and Greta was none the wiser, further proves the disconnect. In saying that – I know drug users can hide it well.

    The tie between Greta and Flavia (Big Swiss) is complex, it is one of those relationships that makes no sense to anyone who is outside of it. Even though it is told from Greta’s perspective, I could not understand her choices when it came to Flavia.

    In terms of the book being funny, for me it was humorous in a way you can appreciate, rather than laugh out loud. Greta would make clever remarks like “Yes, people age horribly. They suffer strokes. Their bodies and brains fall apart. But the male ego? Firmly intact until the bitter end.” As well as just generally witty observations that make you want to applaud Beagin’s writing.

    I would definitely recommend you add this to your list, Big Swiss has its own distinctive quality, setting it apart from others.

  • The Paper Palace

    The Paper Palace

    By Miranda Cowley Heller

    SPOILERS

    Released 2021, 389 pages.

    It is a perfect July morning, and Elle, a fifty-year-old happily married mother of three, awakens at “The Paper Palace”—the family summer place which she has visited every summer of her life. But this morning is different: last night Elle and her oldest friend Jonas crept out the back door into the darkness and had sex with each other for the first time, all while their spouses chatted away inside. Now, over the next twenty-four hours, Elle will have to decide between the life she has made with her genuinely beloved husband, Peter, and the life she always imagined she would have had with her childhood love, Jonas, if a tragic event hadn’t forever changed the course of their lives. As Heller colors in the experiences that have led Elle to this day, we arrive at her ultimate decision with all its complexity.

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

    REVIEW

    THEMES: EMOTIONAL, FAMILY SECRETS, BETRAYAL, MEDIUM-PACED.

    Heller’s writing is incredible, the layered relationships, complex characters and unexpected conclusions – are all so well explained and planned out.

    The story follows Elle a daughter, wife and mother. It jumps between past and present tense, providing context on her background and relationships.

    The sister’s ending/death felt unfinished. What seemed like an important subplot that ran throughout the story, got cut off at the end. As if Heller wanted to give the family ‘privacy’, which is rather inconsistent with how intimately you get to know them.

    The events that take place are intense, Heller explores sensitive subjects and themes that arouses the emotions and piques curiosity.

    The relationships are a realistic representation of a fractured family, where each character has their own respective outlook. Heller allows all the characters to make mistakes without persecuting them and painting them in a negative light.

    I was reading through reviews, and someone mentioned that they noticed the women’s ‘depth’ always stemmed from abuse, which is tiring and one-dimensional. And I agree, I am not saying that this is always the case, but I do for this book. Which is why I brought my rating down a tad.

    Be prepared for some confronting subjects that involve sexual abuse.

  • The Eyes are the Best Part

    The Eyes are the Best Part

    By Monika Kim

    SPOILERS

    Released 2024, 277 Pages

    Ji-won’s life tumbles into disarray in the wake of her Appa’s extramarital affair and subsequent departure. Her mother, distraught. Her younger sister, hurt and confused. Her college freshman grades, failing. Her dreams, horrifying… yet enticing.

    In them, Ji-won walks through bloody rooms full of eyes. Succulent blue eyes. Salivatingly blue eyes. Eyes the same shape and shade as George’s, who is Umma’s obnoxious new boyfriend. George has already overstayed his welcome in her family’s claustrophobic apartment. He brags about his puffed-up consulting job, ogles Asian waitresses while dining out, and acts condescending toward Ji-won and her sister as if he deserves all of Umma’s fawning adoration. No, George doesn’t deserve anything from her family. Ji-won will make sure of that.

    For no matter how many victims accumulate around her campus or how many people she must deceive and manipulate, Ji-won’s hunger and her rage deserve to be sated.

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

    REVIEW

    THEMES: HORROR, DARK, TENSE, FAST-PACED.

    The Eyes Are The Best Part is a story that follows Ji-Won as she experiences the trials and tribulations of what it is to be a Korean woman growing up in a western country (America). After her mother gets a new boyfriend, she starts to notice the striking blue in his eyes. It slowly becomes an obsession, that leads to something far more sinister.

    This is my favourite horror so far – I am someone who likes horror books that have a purpose, and this one delivered.

    Protagonist (in my eyes) Ji-won is driven to rage due to the racial fetishization and performative feminism created by men.

    Kim touches on subjects that are typically overlooked and brushed off – she came for blood, and I loved it. Was it a bit unrealistic… yes but it was a very real scenario many women can relate to, and boy was it satisfying to read.

    The satisfaction I felt when Ji-won started driving George insane was unmatched. I, for one have met so many Jeffrey’s in my life and to see it written on paper was so validating- performative feminism is joked about but not spoken about, Kim did a great job of encapsulating this behaviour and pointing out the signs.

    There switch from sane to insane was quick, that’s for sure. The eye-eating takes a minute to stomach (pun intended), and the ending was a bit unrealistic as said above, but I do not think the point was to be realistic it was to be enjoyable – in real life she would have been arrested but I am glad she did not.

    I would definitely recommend this book to anyone, but I think women would love it -especially Asian women as it touches on Asian fetishization.

    And it’s her first book, how incredible.

  • The Song Of Achilles

    The Song Of Achilles

    By Madeline Miller

    SPOILERS

    Released 2011, 378 pages.

    Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. By all rights their paths should never cross, but Achilles takes the shamed prince as his friend, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine their bond blossoms into something deeper – despite the displeasure of Achilles’ mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess. But then word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus journeys with Achilles to Troy, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.

    Rating: 5 out of 5.

    REVIEW

    THEMES: ADVENTUREOUS, EMOTIONAL, HISTORICAL, ROMANCE, MEDIUM-PACED.

    What a beautiful book.

    The writing is descriptive, simple and engrossing.

    The protagonist(s) are so loveable but are not immune to flaws, I feel as I was not able to separate myself and almost became Patroclus, which is a rare feat.

    The love between Patroclus and Achilles was incredible. They speak of each other in a fervent, yet gentle manner. The slow build is a masterpiece – at first, you’re not sure whether its friendship or romance.

    The plot is a captivating page-turner; I found it difficult to put down. If I could read it anew I would. The pace was also spot-on – them meeting, learning together with Chiron, Achilles being hidden away and the battle, so much happened yet Miller was able to portray it all in a timely manner, that did not linger nor rush.

    Miller did an amazing job at emulating infatuation, so well in fact that you are blind to Achilles flaws. It took me until the end of the book to realize Patroclus deserved better, but since you are reading from his view, you only see what he sees.

    To enhance the experience, listen to some Hozier – especially Hymn to Virgil (only listen to after reading).

    My only con would be the ending, it felt rushed, and some elements did not feel consistent with the rest of the book. What I mean by that is Pyrrhus’ character, it felt like Miller wanted to wrap the book up so she glossed over his entire part, personally it should have just been left out. I also found it implausible that Thetis detested Patroclus but did him a kindness in the end, I know it benefitted her son, but it seemed Miller made a concerted effort to show how merciless she was – just to erase it with a ‘happily ever after’ ending. In saying these negatives, they weren’t enough to put me off – If anything I never remember the ending and only think of the good sections.

    I would recommend this to anyone, it is truly one of my favourite books of all time.

  • The Vegetarian

    The Vegetarian

    By Han Kang

    SPOILERS

    Released 2007, 188 pages.

    Before the nightmares began, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary, controlled life. But the dreams–invasive images of blood and brutality–torture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. It’s a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that’s become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate, subjecting first her mind, and then her body, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous, bizarre estrangement, not only from those closest to her, but also from herself.

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

    REVIEW

    THEMES: DARK, SAD, TENSE, FAST-PACED.

    One of the first horror/psychological fictions I have read, and it was an experience.

    It is interesting reading a book where the main character does not speak (barely). Whilst the book is about a woman named Yeong-hye, it is actually told from the perspective of the people around her.

    Mr Cheong (husband) was disgusting and violent, I hate that he represents a percentage of men who treat their wives like commodities, ugh! he was so entitled.

    I found the second segment (brother-in-law) the most fascinating part of the book because it brings the question of ‘consent’ into play. It enters a grey area, where you have to decide whether Yeong-hye is being taken advantage of by her brother-in-law. She ‘consented’ and was even insistent at times, but she was also in a dormant state of mind. The brother-in-law was also a bit eccentric, which adds another layer – was there some harmony with them both finding peace in each other’s mania?

    The ending was tense and somber. It reminds me of when you step on/break off a butterfly’s wing, they can no longer fly and have lost their purpose – but killing them will weigh on you conscious, so you keep them alive, just for them to suffer.

    Kang was able to find good middle ground for the ‘horror’ element, I am someone who does not like – what I like to call it – mania horror, where you do not know what is real and what is not. Kang was able to leave some aspects to the imagination but not enough to leave you utterly confused.

    The storyline built up steadily to an interesting climax and the character POV switch was intriguing and refreshing.

    It is a good horror; however, I have read better – It would not be the first horror book I would recommend but I would not dissuade someone from reading this.

    The more I look back and review the book, the more I like it.

    Fair warning: it is very gory and there is sexual violence, if this is something that upsets you should not read this book!
