After "Our Share of Night" i went back to 130 years and read "The King of Yellow"! Inside this edition there's only 4 stories: "The Repairer of Reputations", "The Mask", "In The Court of the Dragon" and "The Yellow Sign".
I read it in english, which is not my native language, so i surely didn't get most of its shades, but what a read!! My favourite were the first two, but every story had its own spirit and had the power of haunting me in a different way!
Studying architecture these stories were rich of details on that topic, giving a lot of space to space.
The ending on the repairer and the ending of the yellow sign were just genius!
Reading* *it on the beach was surely not his vibe, but it did its job!
Should i read the rest of the missing novels?

Some weeks ago I posted here my summer reads and i just finished Our Share of Night by Mariana Enriquez. Wow. It's a shame I didn't know much about Argentina during the 60s-80s, but besides that the story was REALLY intense, charged with lot of different emotions, complex charachters and a really intersing deep dive into the occult. I always wondered if an horror book could scare me and this one was able to give me the creeps - and make me cry too.

Now i have some other books to read on vacation, but i'm sure i'm gonna be reading her short novels too! Let me knwo what you think about this book, i wanna talk about it with someone!!

Hi everyone! These are two pics i took at St Marks Wildlife Refuge, it was amazing even with a cloudy day! Since I couldnt make it to the tip of the lighthouse, does anyone have pictures of the landscape taken directly from there? I'm doing a thesis that involves this beautiful place and it would help me a lot for references!! Grazie!!

I bought these, they were suggested in some horror/weird posts on other social media! I started first - and now reading - Mariana Enriquez' Our Share of Night since is the toughest one and i don't know if they're gonna have some weird elements in them - so idk if they're gonna be off topic or not, sorry in advance! Let me know folks :)

A mysterious agency sends groups of people to investigate and study an unexplored area, confined by an invisible entrance, where everything is copied, transformed and reinterpreted?? It's beautiful how horror is exploring the weird tropes and giving so much space to space, how we occupy it, both interiors (backrooms) and landscape.
And Backrooms showed us how those liminal spaces are real in the real world, showing those alienated american interiors, and such thing was only accomplished by Vandermeer in the book with the Parking Lot or the Biologist's Pool, where we can see real manifestations of Area X in the real world - I do love Garland's take on Annihilation, even though i would have loved to see more of an explicit reference to Anthropocenic tropes.
Do you have any thoughts on these two weird projects compared? Let me know folks!!

Guys, i'm doing an (impossible) master degree thesis on Annihilation (only the first book, since i'm alone) and i'm proud to share with you that I made it to the lighthouse at St. Marks! I even got the american copies (they're really gorgeous)! If someone else made some uni work on the books let me know <3
