It’s a excellent month for studying

This month’s Fantastic Strangeling Book Club selection is so, so excellent. It’s The Book Eaters through Sunyi Dean.

I gobbled this atmospherically creepy and lovely novel. Well, no longer actually. But after studying the ebook I more or less sought after to. In reality, I liked it such a lot I made my very own ebook space impressed through the duvet and handiest were given glued to it 4 instances.

A actually distinctive premise in a gloomy fairytale that stored me guessing till the top. Want a style?

Out at the Yorkshire Moors lives a secret line of other people for whom books are meals, and who retain all of a ebook’s content material after consuming it. To them, undercover agent novels are a peppery snack; romance novels are candy and scrumptious. Eating a map can lend a hand them bear in mind locations, and youngsters, after they misbehave, are pressured to consume dry, musty pages from dictionaries.

Devon is a part of The Family, an outdated and reclusive extended family of ebook eaters. Her brothers develop up feasting on tales of valor and journey, and Devon—like any different ebook eater ladies—is raised on a sparsely curated vitamin of fairytales and cautionary tales.

But actual lifestyles does not at all times include glad endings, as Devon learns when her son is born with an extraordinary and darker more or less starvation—no longer for books, however for human minds.

Eerie. Unsettling. Beautiful. Heartbreaking. Fascinating. A tale concerning the complexities of circle of relatives, of neurodivergence, of inconceivable alternatives, of parenthood, of misogyny and intake. It’s a contemporary tackle vampires and prefer not anything else I’ve ever learn. I in an instant knew I had to proportion it the instant I stopped it.

The first bankruptcy is the very best appetizer that can go away you hungry for extra, and the remainder of the ebook is a delectable banquet of darkish treats to devour. (I’m so sorry concerning the meals puns. I will’t lend a hand myself.)
