Daughters Unto Devils by Amy Lukavics6/28/2023 She's heard stories of lands being tainted by evil, of men losing their minds and killing their families, and there is something strange about the doctor and his son who live in the woods on the edge of the prairie. And as the days pass, it is obvious to Amanda that something isn't right on the prairie. When the Verners arrive at their new home, a large cabin abandoned by its previous owners, they discover the inside covered in blood. She can leave behind the memory of the past winter of her sickly ma giving birth to a baby sister who cries endlessly of the terrifying visions she saw as her sanity began to slip, the victim of cabin fever and most of all, the memories of the boy she has been secretly meeting with as a distraction from her pain. When sixteen-year-old Amanda Verner's family decides to move from their small mountain cabin to the vast prairie, she hopes it is her chance for a fresh start. "Imagine Stephen King writing Little House on the Prairie and you'll get the chilling, mind-bending horrors of Amy Lukavics's haunting and powerful debut novel."

French, illustrates how the series has changed with each passing book: if at first, we had a collection of short stories that sarcastically played with fairy tales to discuss the importance of taking a stand in political matters, now we have a novel about violence and death that treats these subjects with shocking rawness.

The hellbound heart 19866/28/2023 This is supposed to scare me? Mission NOT accomplished. As he becomes more substantial there is a period of time where all I could picture was some weird-looking seahorse thing flapping around in a corner. Why? Because a man in The Hellbound Heart is trying to become more flesh and bone (just like good ol’ Voldy) and needs blood to do so. So I know Clive Barker wrote this novella decades before HP7p1 would come out but nevertheless, the movie impacted my reading enjoyment. When I saw it with my friends, we were all wondering what the frak we were looking at…in fact, it is pretty safe to say that I am still wondering a few months later.

Richly imagined, weaving in anecdote with recipes and gossip, Tokarczuk's novel is an epic of a small place. What emerges is the message that the history of any place-no matter how humble-is limitless, that by describing or digging at the roots of a life, a house, or a neighborhood, one can see all the connections, not only with one's self and one's dreams but also with all of the universe. Each of the stories represents a brick and they interlock to reveal the immense monument that is the town. With the help of Marta, her enigmatic neighbor, the narrator accumulates these stories, tracing the history of Nowa Ruda from the founding of the town to the lives of its saints, from the caller who wins the radio quiz every day to the tale of the man who causes international tension when he dies on the border, one leg on the Polish side, the other on the Czech side. When the narrator moves into the area, she and discovers everyone-and everything-has its own story. Nowa Ruda is a small town in Silesia, an area that has been a part of Poland, Germany, and the former Czechoslovakia in the past.
