Angela Slatter 📚 @angelaslatter.bsky.social · Aug 11

The Cold House author copies from @titanbooks have arrived in Brisbane. Alas, I'm in Hobart for 3 months so housedad #1 took photos for the 'gram. Oz, there's a paperback release then hardcovers arriving later. Suggestion: a paperback reader copy & a hardback for the "It's Our Precioooous!" shelves.

Anyway I keep forgetting to yell about this book when it is 🍂seasonal 🍂 but THE APPLE-TREE THRONE (a little vanity project I self-pubbed in 2018) is also available on Kobo and in audio!

A young soldier returned from war is haunted by the ghost of his commanding officer (a posh git)

Once again and very sadly, I won't be attending WFC in Brighton (even though I'm still showing as an attending member because I can't get anyone to answer emails). I'll still be in Taswegia until 28 Oct and both my TARDIS and broom are in the shop and I simply cannot wish myself there in time. :(

I have been LOVING reading @angelaslatter.bsky.social's books this autumn, so I whipped up a bingo card for some common things I've noticed in her gothic fantasy-horror series. Play along with me! bingobaker.com#68ea4fe64538...

A red 5x5 bingo board with white text. Each square has a text description of a trope or motif in Angela Slatter's work. The squares read, going across, then down, Dark magic, Monster Fuckers, Be the neck that turns the head, MC hits the bricks, Threat of marriage, Rich people suuuck, Murder, Story within a story, Unprovoked sudden violence, MC reluctantly shows mercy, Queer people mentioned, Mommy issues, Oh my god what the fuck? (free space), Badass Grandma (evil), consequences of MC's lies, scary creatures casually mentioned, abortion reference!, ominous foreshadowing, ghosts!, MC lies her ass off, Fuck am I becoming like my parents??, Backstory that changes everything, the church is evil, One (1) decent man, casual sex. End description.

so VERY different from all the previous Slatter books i've read, but no less compelling. a succinct novella, and set in modern times! the depiction of grief is phenomenal. i want more please. 5/5
