@kimlockhartga @bookstodon I will check it out. I appreciate enthusiasm, so don't worry about that at all. Cheers.

@kimlockhartga @CliftonR @templetongate @bookstodon Great minds think alike. It's sitting on my shelf as a recent acquisition. 💜

@CliftonR @kimlockhartga @templetongate @bookstodon My fave of Silvina Ocampo is Thus Were There Faces. An influence for her is Borges as she knew him. I've also read her Forgotten Journey, her debut collection. I hope to read her novel The Promise. Not all of her stuff is available in translation.

@CliftonR @kimlockhartga @templetongate @bookstodon That's good to know. I haven't read Fever Dream yet. 💜

@kimlockhartga @templetongate @bookstodon I liked Good and Evil and Other Stories as well as Seven Empty Houses--my fave.

@kimlockhartga @templetongate @bookstodon She's a very powerful writer. I want to read more of her work. It set me on a course of reading more Argentinian/South American female writers in general--Samantha Schweblin, Silvina OCampo. I just purchased Maria Ampuero's Human Sacrifices (Ecuador).

I have Nghi Vo's City in Glass. She did a small group chat in an online con I attended recently. I don't know how I did this, but somehow I purchased two copies if anyone is interested. I also purchased her Empress of Salt and Fortune.

Though not recent reads/acquisitions, here are a couple of other horror faves. I especially like stories:
Tiny Nightmares: Very Short Stories of Horror, Michel et al
The Things We Lost in the Fire by Mariana Enriquez

@TorontoLydia @bookstodon I may consider a second read or listen. 💜 And I need to read the Hygge book, though I think I practice this a bit with my home environment. Cheers

@TorontoLydia @bookstodon I listened to The Snow Child on audio a year or so ago. Can't remember exactly. I loved it. ❄️
