Of the Flesh: 18 Stories of Modern Horror by Various
As with any anthology, you end up preferring some stories to others while you read them and then others tick the right amount of creepy that means you find your mind is drawn back to certain nightmarish images you had conjured while reading.

I assumed they were setting up Paul Vs Punk to humble him back, as Punk mocked Owens losing to Paul.

I see these are up now.
Some of the pictures have "blood" and some don't but the options are only for fastening not if you want blood or not. Is it lucky dip?

James by Percival Everett
This book is just as fantastic as everyone has been saying, but be prepared that there will obviously be some horrible and upsetting scenes in this book but they are used to make an impact rather than titillate. This book is definitely deserving of the hype.

When I was a child I read some of the books, but I've never read the comics.

Finn Family Moomintroll by Tove Jansson
Finn Family Moomintroll is the third book in the series, but was the first to be translated into English.
The Moomin books are sweet and weird - just like booksellers. If you've never read one, please do, they're lovely.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
The story in Finn is much better and follows a more interesting narrative but is plagued with racism and because of that makes it a very difficult read and impossible to enjoy.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
I found this book slow, dull and racist.
Not one I'll be recommending.

Stalking the Atomic City by Markiyan Kamysh
This was described as "Hunter S. Thompson visits Chernobyl" I knew that would tell you if you were going to like this, and I knew I would.
This book is short (I read it in one sitting), wild and fascinating. Well worth picking up.

Things We Lost in the Fire by Mariana Enriquez
Enriquez is a phenomenal writer. She writes about Argentina, a place brutalised by dictatorship, war, crime and frankly, men. Her stories often tell of women in this world and add in gothic horror or magical realism in a unique and astounding way.

A "doesn't get the win, but gets the respect of their opponent" match is a staple for a reason.
Just having this match gets her a big chance on the big stage and can lead to a more involved story of getting wins and experience until she's ready to face Mone again.

Blackwater by Michael McDowell
This serialised novel is beautiful in its storytelling and weaves together a family so real that you're left wanting more even after 6 books!
