I& #39;ve been lucky to be able to read and write a bunch these past few weeks. I& #39;m going to thread a few things that posted this week, in hopefully less of a self-promo way and more of a "maybe you need something to read besides news reports" way.
Might keep doing this. Might not.

. @TorNightfire let me do an appreciation of Grady Hendrix, an author who manages to find the absurd horror in everyday life. His latest, THE SOUTHERN BOOK CLUB& #39;S GUIDE TO SLAYING VAMPIRES, is one of the best things I& #39;ve read this year, in any genre. https://tornightfire.com/grady-hendrix-is-the-modern-master-of-everyday-horror/">https://tornightfire.com/grady-hen...
It& #39;s hard not to think of space as the ultimate escape from *gestures* all of this. But my favorite space stories are often the ones where space travel is just Humans Acting Badly — On Location. @BookRiot

Finally, my favorite thing to write recently, straight from the murderous mouth of the clergy. https://bookriot.com/2020/04/06/how-i-the-parson-of-a-humble-english-murder-village-am-practicing-safe-social-distancing/">https://bookriot.com/2020/04/0...
Decided to keep doing this: If you want to get off your couch (metaphorically), here are several international or internationally set horror novels. Actually, they may make you appreciate the safety of your home more. @TorNightfire https://tornightfire.com/travel-hell-6-international-horror-books-to-take-you-around-the-world/">https://tornightfire.com/travel-he...
Or if you& #39;re in a very different mood, I rounded up some lovely, beautiful fantasy novels to delight and distract at @BookRiot. https://bookriot.com/2020/04/11/lovely-fantasy-books/">https://bookriot.com/2020/04/1...
And final addition to this thread: more escapism, this time for YA readers. https://bookriot.com/2020/04/10/portal-fantasies-for-ya-readers/">https://bookriot.com/2020/04/1...
