    I realized last year that I really enjoy shorter books, novellas, and short story collections.
    Things We Lost in the Fire sounds really good.

    Enriquez is one of those authors I keep meaning to get to but know….
    Dawn is so good-the whole series is fantastic!

      You really should try Enriquez, her short stories are excellent. I'm looking forward to reading Dawn and the Xenogenesis series soon.

    You’ve convinced me about _Things We Lost._ I’ve put it in my cart - that particular edition too.(Hint: I have about 300 things “Saved for Later” so it’s far from certain I’ll get to it.)
    Yeah, nobody watches your videos. But sometimes my captors/torturers give me a break from the 24/7 Lawrence Welk Show reruns, and if I’ve been good, they let me put on one of your videos. So you can keep ‘em coming, as long as you like.

      It's a pleasure to bring you some entertainment, even if it is a little bit on the dark side.

      That's great, I've always been a fan of short stories and shorter novels:

    Her novel is _Our Share of Night,_ and it is great, but loooong. I mean, not quite 600 pages, so not _that_ long, but it felt a little long to me. I seem to be alone in that assessment, no one else seems bothered by the pacing, but the second act dragged for me. Still a wonderful and thought-provoking novel. She also released a new collection this year, _A Sunny Place for Shady People,_ and that was one of my favorite collections of the year.
    For some reason Octavia Butler's works are expensive here in India. Just last weekend I was at a (huge) used bookstore in Bangalore seeing if I could find anything by her, but no dice. I have soft copies but I kind of want hard copies of some of her works. So I might have to bite the bullet on some of those.
    As for _Queer,_ I heard an interesting review which basically suggested the film is much gentler around the edges, far more respectable, than Burroughs has any interest in ever being. I read John Giorno's autobiography recently and he has a lot of interesting memories of Burroughs, as the two were pretty important figures in each others' lives, especially nearing the end of Burroughs's life.
    I really love Cassandra Khaw. _The Salt Grows Heavy_ is very strange, wonderfully atmospheric, and I thought a delightful read. But I have enjoyed everything I have read from her.

      I just finished The Salt Grows Heavy, not what I had expected but I enjoyed it, for me it was more dark fantasy than horror, but still really enjoyable and a very quick read. I'll probaby get the other Enriquez titles in Jan or Feb, I need to put a dent into my stack of recent acquisitions, but she's definitely become one of new favorites. I sent you a message about reading Butler, let me know what you think.

    I am not a fan of filler. Thus, I like short stories the most. I was going to edit my comment on the Stoner page but popped in to watch enough of this Vid to give you a view. Will catch you again later.
    Satire!

      I agree, short(er) fiction is superior, in my humble opinion. Thanks for the view!

    Quick tip: in spanish, the "u" in the syllables "-que" , "-qui" , "-gue" and "-gui" is a mute letter, it's not pronounced ☺️👍👍

      Ouch, sorry about that, I'm good with some Asian languages but not Spanish.
