Also this one! Incredibly thorough blending of memoir and horror film criticism and history. Itโs so good to see someoneโs commitment to their passion and chosen field. The interweaving of her life with the characters from films is honestly amazing. I listened to the autobook read by the author, although Id love to get my hands on the book to see the pictures to go with it!
I am not a stay-at-home mom secretly exploring sex work (Normal Women by Ainslie Horgarth), but I know a calling to motherhood and a fear of financial dependence. I am not an apparition stuck in time on the NYC subway after years of fighting for queer rights (One Last Stop by Casey Mcquinston), but I have felt adrift while searching for belonging. I am not manipulating a rich older man to live in his mansion and steal his pills (The Guest by Emma Cline), but I have been desperate and an unreliable narrator to myself. I should probably try to find a book about a man next I guess.
