The Cold House author copies from @titanbooks have arrived in Brisbane. Alas, I'm in Hobart for 3 months so housedad #1 took photos for the 'gram. Oz, there's a paperback release then hardcovers arriving later. Suggestion: a paperback reader copy & a hardback for the "It's Our Precioooous!" shelves.

I have been LOVING reading @angelaslatter.bsky.social's books this autumn, so I whipped up a bingo card for some common things I've noticed in her gothic fantasy-horror series. Play along with me! bingobaker.com#68ea4fe64538...

A red 5x5 bingo board with white text. Each square has a text description of a trope or motif in Angela Slatter's work. The squares read, going across, then down, Dark magic, Monster Fuckers, Be the neck that turns the head, MC hits the bricks, Threat of marriage, Rich people suuuck, Murder, Story within a story, Unprovoked sudden violence, MC reluctantly shows mercy, Queer people mentioned, Mommy issues, Oh my god what the fuck? (free space), Badass Grandma (evil), consequences of MC's lies, scary creatures casually mentioned, abortion reference!, ominous foreshadowing, ghosts!, MC lies her ass off, Fuck am I becoming like my parents??, Backstory that changes everything, the church is evil, One (1) decent man, casual sex. End description.

so VERY different from all the previous Slatter books i've read, but no less compelling. a succinct novella, and set in modern times! the depiction of grief is phenomenal. i want more please. 5/5

Let Angela tell you all about The Cold House and then pick up a copy of this creepy, chilling, twisty-turny book. ❤️👀

Angela Slatter 📚 @angelaslatter.bsky.social · 5d

Happy bookthday to The Cold House! Have a wee vid and some messy hair that'll drive my mother mad!

A twisty turny story of lies, love, isolated (second) locations, and folk horror.

#TheColdHouse from @angelaslatter.bsky.social combines folk, gothic, and grief horror with a funny, relatable protagonist for a quick, one-sitting read perfect to kick off haunting season with. #BookSky
Thank you to #NetGalley and @titanbooks.bsky.social for the ARC for my honest review:

The Cold House — CandiKat Horror

Though it’s a modern gothic (unlike the A.G.Slatter Sourdough books I’ve read), The Cold House has the one thing that keeps me reading her works: a smart, snarky, relatable heroine.
