2017 (Part 1)

Here's my top three reads in that time period.

At number three, I have placed I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Hartman.

I loved this one.

It follows this nameless woman who has never known anything but being raised in this underground cell with 19 other women as three male guards look on.

That's how it starts.

Then there is an alarm.

Oh my goodness, it is so bleak and so powerful.

I loved it, I loved it, I loved it.

At number two, I've placed Chuck Tingle's Camp Damascus.

Chuck is an author that, before taking on horror, was very reliant on his work appealing to those that love crass queer horror.

That doesn't do anything for me, but this horror book, my very first of his that I've read, is a straight 10 out of 10 rager.

Camp Damascus is one of those queer reform camps.

You will see them dotted around America where thicko parents send their gay kids to be hypnotized and brutalized and scared straight into this heterosexual being.

Ever wonder what goes on in them things? Well, I reckon this has to be pretty close to the truth.

But even better, as far as I'm concerned, my number one pick, another perfect book for my very favourites of all time, it's Stephen L. Peck's A Short Stay in Hell.

Now, this one is novella size, so it's not a big, fat, chunky read.

With this one, a guy dies, then he goes to hell, but it's all right because it's okay.

He can get out of hell as long as he finds the book that tells his entire life story.

The thing is, There are trillions and trillions and kabillions of books.

But then again, that's okay, because he's got forever to find it.

I'll leave it there.

All right, that was my favourite.

So that's it.

I've got a lot more going on right now.

Hopefully there'll be some ones in next month's instalment as good as those.
