Welcome to Litsy!

This was the year that I discovered the wonderful & weird works of Richard Sala who unfortunately died just a few years ago. Blending elements of mystery & horror in a pulp style, the first work I read by Sala I read this year was Poison Flowers & Pandemonium. However, it was when I read “The Chuckling Whatsit“ in July that completely won me over with the sinister & bizarre storytelling. It was as if David Lynch & Charles Burns (cont)

I usually post my #weeklyreport Sunday afternoon but this has been such a great reading week I am going to post now. 7 books read since previous report: 3 manga, 1 graphic novel, 1 story collection, 1 novel & 1 collection of linked novellas. The three managa were vol 7-9 of Blood On the Tracks. So disturbing. So intense. The gn was the tagged one by Sala. A hybrid of pulp, crime, expressionism & horror. The story collection was Carys Davies (cont)
