There’s nothing better than finishing an 800 page novel that has no punctuation and immediately jumping straight into a multivolume epic. Actually it’s horrible. There’s no better way to rasa the tabula than reading a little snack sized story. The best ones (take for instance just about anything from the new collection EVIL FLOWERS by Gunnhild Øyehaug) will stay with you long after you’ve forgotten the name of all the characters in that novel.

Novels are great and all but a regular habit of bite sized short stories can get you right in a pinch

A very short story, a poem from a collection, a short chapter from a novel, a review of something you love, something small that will focus your eyes and invite your mind to wake, that you can then finish, put down, and move along.

Theres something so nice about being able to sit down and finish a book in under 30
minutes. Time that would have otherwise been spent scrolling mindlessly on a random app is instead spent enriching my brain and taking me on a little journey from beginning to end.
Sometimes I don’t want to read the same book for a week or two. Sometimes you just want to scratch an itch and be done.
I’m not ashamed to include a 17 page book in my total count for the year, and you shouldn’t be either!
Anyways, The Ritual was just that, so 10/10, I recommend not only this book if you’re looking for a little sampler of holiday horror, but ANY little novella you can get your hands on.

Oh you liked that one movie? But did you watch every movie the dp ever touched did you stalk the director and propose did you find out every actors birthday and send them a gift? Sounds like you didn’t really like the movie.
