Just like Rumfitt's previous book, this book will upset you. Brainwyrms by Alison Rumfitt Released October 2023 Source: Received for Review Consideration Goodreads | Amazon From Alison Rumfitt, the author of Tell Me I’m Worthless — “a triumph of transgressive queer horror” (Publishers Weekly) — comes Brainwyrms, a searing body horror novel of obsession, violence and pleasure. When a transphobic woman bombs Frankie’s workplace, she blows up Frankie’s life with it. As the media descends like vultures, Frankie tries to cope with the carnage: binge-drinking, fucking strangers, pushing away her friends. Then she meets Vanya. Mysterious, beautiful, terrifying Vanya. The two hit it off immediately, but as their relationship intensifies, so too does Frankie’s feeling that Vanya is hiding something from her. When Vanya’s secrets threaten to tear them apart, Frankie starts digging, and unearths a sinister, depraved conspiracy, the roots of which go deeper than she ever imagined. Shocking,
It's a quiet weekend for me. Just cleaning up some blog posts and then gonna go hit Netgalley and see if there's anything that looks good to me.
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me. I hope you found something excellent.

Haha, I can't wait to see your take-home piles.
DeleteI'm spending the weekend reading and swimming. Maybe watch a few shows or movies too. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds heavenly.
DeleteI've been trying to read today but gave up as my dad is doing his one man commentary on the football and every horse race on tv...
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. I thought I was going to watch Frankenstein last night but forgot my husband was watching a wrestling event. It's impossible to read with that going on in the background.
DeleteBusy weekend! Went to a fan convention and then recovered the next day :)
ReplyDeleteI bet that was fun! I went to a "Rib Fest" and I don't eat ribs. The things I do for love :)
