This is a haunted house novella translated from Spanish. This house has been inhabited by 4 generations of women some of who are witches. A granddaughter returns home after spending time in jail after being accused of kidnapping the boy she nannies. This is intergenerational trauma, domestic violence, class warfare. I kept thinking of that Mean Girl‘s quote-I don‘t hate you cause you‘re fat, you‘re fat because I hate you. But instead it‘s- 👇🏼

Reggie I don‘t hate you because you‘re poor. You‘re poor because I hate you. This was just really good. Nothing is over the top, it‘s just on a low simmer all the way through. Pick! 5d

Another short story collection winner from Enriquez.

These stories focuses on the horrific in the everyday, in relationships and how generational trauma effects us. I think that is what makes these stories so scary. Like in the first story where a young boy dies in a troubled neighborhood because no one dares open their door and he comes back to hunt them.

CSeydel What a cover! 3mo
AnneCecilie @CSeydel All the covers for her short story collections are amazing. The title is great too 3mo
vlwelser I love her stories. 3mo
sarahbarnes I‘ve been interested in this one - good to know you liked it! 3mo

AllDebooks I had to bail on this, too much for me, along with The Long Walk! 😱 3mo
BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks it was a lot, and knowing that he pulled it from the shelves added a little weight! 3mo

Karkar What always surprises me about this one every time I read it is back when he wrote it school shootings were not a thing. But you would think from this book he wrote it today. 3mo
5feet.of.fury Yeah, that was nuts. I can see why he pulled it after Columbine (and the continued epidemic of school shootings) with the way Charlie is presented in the end/showing the impact on the hostages as positive. 3mo
BookwormAHN @5feet.of.fury That always bothered me too. It was almost cult leaderish. 3mo
5feet.of.fury @BookwormAHN agree! Cult leader is what came into my mind, too. 3mo

This month‘s book is #Rage Grab your copy and check back at the end of the month for open discussion! Don‘t forget to tag me so I can see which version you have! #LosersClub #StephenKing #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader #ReadAlong #BuddyRead

5feet.of.fury I found a link on Reddit where you can read the full book online which I would never officially advocate for, but I know this one is hard to find. So, just putting it out there. Happy googling to those impacted (edited) 4mo
BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury I feel like if you could buy the book but read it that way, that would be like taking money from the author. But if the book isn‘t available for sale 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4mo

5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead yeah, I‘m gonna hit up a couple of the used bookstores near me (on the off chance they don‘t know what they have, because wow those prices) but it‘s my backup plan. King has alot of my money 😂 I‘ll sleep ok this once haha 4mo
JenlovesJT47 You can also download it for free here, since it is unavailable for sale: https://annas-archive.org/md5/47f228955fd87588ff9965f1e5cc92cb 4mo
TieDyeDude @5feet.of.fury @barkingmadread King has specifically let “Rage“ go out-of-print, so read it wherever you can find it with a clear conscience! https://screenrant.com/stephen-king-rage-book-out-print-controversy-explained/ (edited) 4mo
BarkingMadRead @TieDyeDude yes, that is correct 4mo
ImperfectCJ I know my mom has a copy of The Bachman Books, but she's 2000 miles away and not at all keen on splitting up her King collection, even temporarily. I'm probably skipping this one for now, although it would be interesting to read again with the context of a few decades. 4mo
