Readers of weird fiction will enjoy this erotic and subversive reimagining of one of literature’s most thrilling tales, Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles. Dr. Watson arrives alone on the moors of the Baskerville estate to help solve the mystery of its scion’s grim death and the murder’s connection to the spectral hound that plagues the ancestral home. Watson’s understanding of his own history and queer desires is sorely tested when he discovers Baskerville Hall is rife with stimulation and horror. As this supernatural mystery unfolds and reality begins to bend and break, he must work against the clock to discover the truth and prevent whatever beast roams the grounds from claiming future victims.

“McOmber’s haunting variation on the Holmes-Watson mythos is a dark, unsettling rumination on queer desire. Unabashedly homoerotic and steeped in Folk Horror.” — Craig Laurance Gidney, author of A Spectral Hue and The Nectar of Nightmares

“Undertow. Caught in something that’s pulling him under, deeper and deeper into the dark.” A poignant tale of two estranged brothers reconnecting. After a lifetime of trauma and strange occurrences, Jamie and Eric catch up in a bar in Hawaii. The following events will break their bond further, or forge it into something stronger; a body, a boat, and an unbelievable cosmic encounter alter both their lives. I really, really enjoyed the author’s writing and descriptive style. There were some seriously creepy moments and the whole boat foray evoked a sense of dread for me.

Not Eating Fish For A While

It starts out with such a raw and real representation of what would happen in that situation and then it all just goes sideways. I read this in two separate sittings and there was not one part where it lagged. I was either what um what or just oof the whole time. I couldn’t really even categorise what genre this book would be. There’s so many different aspects all thrown together but one thing I do know is I will not be eating any fish for a long time. Those descriptions will haunt me. There was sadness and deep feeling in the writing but also weirdness and gore. This was a nice all rounder.
