Looking for a creepy psychological horror that's genuinely unsettling. (Not the news. A real book, please.)
It's wild reading 1930s novels and seeing how reliable rail travel once was in the UK.
"The ship leaves Liverpool for Spain at 7:00 pm."
"There's a train that gets in at 6:25."
"That will allow more than enough time for the five of us to arrive at the station with all our steamer trunks, arrange taxis, and get onboard."
It happens, my brain is always off in its own world when I'm trying to do things...

Jesmyn Ward in LitHub today on reading Faulkner.
(Also, more evidence that The Sound and the Fury, great though it is, is not usually a good place to begin reading Faulkner. Ward got hooked by As I Lay Dying, a good choice, as is Light in August.)

Literary Hub · “A Conflicted, Imperfect Love.” Jesmyn Ward on William Faulkner’s As I Lay DyingI first read Faulkner in high school, when one of my classmates reported that he was his favorite writer. Every one of us had to do the same; I’d spent a year or so reading Gabriel García Márquez’s…
Technically, I think we're now still in the pre-post-apocalyptic era. An era of excess. But if we dig deep, work hard and always consume more, we'll get there in the end

"Dream Count, her new novel, is about four African women—including three who share Adichie’s Nigerian background—and their love lives. The book’s central occupation is a serious one: how men affect the existences of women, either as destructive forces, objects of longing, or distractions from women’s dreams."
