I’d heard this book was traumatic and gruesome, but I’ve read books more disturbing this year…though maybe none as unflinchingly thought-provoking. 5⭐️

I'm thrilled to have received a review copy of Wretch by the incredible @ericlarocca.bsky.social!

I'll be delving into the spiritual implications of its intense, visceral horror for an upcoming post on the Haunted Pulpit. #Wretch #EricLaRocca #HorrorFiction #BodyHorror #TheHauntedPulpit

Copy of Eric Larocca We Are Always Tender with our Dead
Orange and black with religious buildings and a few trees but everything is sparse and desolate

This was a NetGalley read for me, so thank you for that!

Another great, dark, emotional read, as always, and I was super excited, because this had the added horror of small town crazy, which is one of my top picks when it comes to horror.

This one is not for the faint of heart, so please check triggers because, this isn’t an easy one, but it is good and this will stick with you after finishing, a haunting in the back of your mind you just cannot shake. It’s shocking and dark and absolutely brutal and it left a mark.

The faceless horrors in this book were enough to creep in, just like the dread you feel as you turn the pages in this, We Are Always Tender With Our Dead is something I need more of and I am glad this is just the first, I need more of Burnt Sparrow, because how??

Nothing makes sense here, and that’s something I am obsessed with, if this is just the first of the mysteries and horrors, I can’t imagine what is to come.

This is a town of relationships, and not everything dark is due to faceless supernatural evil, sometimes people can be just as dark, and even more horrifying then the dark faceless shadows that lurk in the darkness. Everything weaves together, not to give you a full picture, because sometimes, that’s part of the horror, the unknown, just like the characters are facing, and that makes the atmosphere in this book absolutely electric.

I expected to come out of this a little broken and a lot horrified, but this book unsettled me, and made me think, tied up with some splattery horror that ties this up in one big horrifying bow.

This wont be for everyone, but reader, this one was for me.

Malsain et dérangeant : As-tu mérité tes yeux, récit d'un drame humain

Un vent de renouveau souffle sur les récits de body horror, ces textes qui mettent en scène la violation psychologique ou physique du corps humain par des mutations, mutilations, maladie...

I just finished "This skin was once mine", by Eric LaRocca, and I guess it was okay. I mean, I didn't hate it. But it's just not for me. #bookreview #book #reading #goodreads #ericlarocca #horror #horrorstories #horrorstory
