some of my favorite books!
- Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer (2014)
- Annihilation is a one-of-a-kind novel packed with a horror often understated: the simple unknown of nature. A mind-bending nature contorted around the fingers of some influence; nature made alien.
- Satantango by László Krasznahorkai (1985)
- Satantango is brilliantly conceived; a cacophony of vignettes ordered into a dance-like rhythm and symmetry. Truly a timeless work of art with an extremely memorable cast of characters, each more heinous than the last.
- Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke (2004)
- A captivating, sprawling, fantastical tale that will immediately suck you into the world. The worldbuilding is so deep and nuanced that you forget that it is a fiction book. Clarke uses the familiar 19th century style and language in homage to Dickens and Austen, adding to the sense of nostalgia elicited when reading the chronicles of Strange and Norrell which beckon it to be a classic.
