any recs for dark fiction? been reading a lot of non-fiction lately and I can feel the burnout coming. I'm thinking something similar to "The Sailor Who Fell From Grace with the Sea" if that helps

i placed a hold on Lapvona but I'm not feeling too confident about it since I couldn't get through Eileen
Have you read No Longer Human? I don't know if this is "dark" exactly, but my favorite book centers around a series of murders & is called Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead.
& yeah, I hated My Year of Rest & Relaxation, so much so that it's one of my least favorite books ever, & I think that's the same author as Lapvona & Eileen.
Have you heard of Magda Szabo? I read "The Door" from her which was fantastic. I will admit though that I'm not 100% on what dark fiction is.
@vashti I have read No Longer human! It was a while ago though so i do plan to reread it sometime. Thanks for your suggestion! just placed a hold on it!
@vashti I've heard so many mixed reviews about My year of Rest and Relaxation, I just thought Eileen was so boring I couldn't even bring myself to hate it lol. It feels like it was made for the same audience that likes Gone Girl a little too much
@iwillneverbehappy I've never heard of her before but I just added it to my holds! also don't worry about it I kind of just made that label up because I'm not really well versed with book genres lol.
Yayyy, you have to let me know what you think of the book when you're done :)
omg also I just remembered that you gotta tell me what you think about Saltburn if you end up watching it :3
@vashti I totally will!! I planned to watch it with my friends but we haven't found a good time to watch it all together yet !!
