🎧📖 RAISED BY A SERIAL KILLER by April Balascio - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A reflection on the author’s severely abusive childhood at the hands of her father, followed by her decision to break the silence on his crimes. The kind of memoir one bears witness to.

🎧📖 DAMSEL by Evelyn Skye - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Listened to this after watching the movie last year!! I liked both, but each has elements I like more than the other. I’d suggest a double viewing with this one, because it’s actually really interesting to see two different takes on the same story!

🎧📖 GRAVE EXPECTATIONS by Alice Bell - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a reread & I loved it even more as an audiobook! I love how it handles ghosts—even with a lighthearted tone the difficult parts of Claire and Sophie’s relationship (grief, stasis, and female friendship) are so genuine and touching.

The two stories that will stick with me are “Blood” and “Jaw.” In “Blood,” a man with a knee fetish has marital problems when he gets caught groping women on the subway; in “Jaw,” (my personal favorite), a troubled young man who is constantly being beaten by older men becomes obsessed with boxing.
