On the blog last week
Monday – I published my review of All the Lives We Never Lived by Anuradha Roy.
Tuesday – My twist on this week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic was Books on the Dark Side. I also shared my publication day interview with Micah Thorp, author of Aegolius Creek.
Wednesday – As always WWW Wednesday is a weekly opportunity to share what I’ve just read, what I’m currently reading and what I plan to read next… and to take a peek at what others are reading.
Saturday – I published my review of historical crime mystery A Gentleman’s Murder by Christopher Huang.
New on my shelves
The Strange Stories of John Buchan, ed. by James Machin (The British Library)
To mark the 150th anniversary of Scottish author John Buchan’s birth, strange fiction expert James Machin presents a new selection of the writer’s best uncanny fiction, including stories from The Runagates Club.
Though best known today as the author of The Thirty-Nine Steps, this new volume aims to foreground his contribution to the early weird tale, including some of his most classic stories alongside a number rescued from rare periodicals of the early twentieth century.
What I’m currently reading
I’m reading Venetian Vespers from my NetGalley shelf, I’m (still) listening to the audiobook of Tombland and I’m reading my book club’s second pick for September, The Sleepwalkers.
