Rating: ⭐⭐
The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle is a horror-fantasy novel woven with occult magic and cosmic undertones. I picked it up after reading glowing reviews and went in with high expectations. The opening chapters were promising, with strong character sketches and atmospheric world-building. However, as the story progressed, the narrative became slow and cluttered with confusing details. What began as intriguing gradually felt distant, leaving me disconnected despite its ambitious premise and dark themes.
Name of Book: The Necrophiliac
Author: Gabrielle Wittkop
Publisher: ECW Press
Publication Date: 1 May 2011
No. of Pages: 94
Format: Digital
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Necrophiliac by Gabrielle Wittkop is a deeply unsettling horror novel, as the title clearly suggests. Written as diary entries, the book follows the protagonist’s confessions, revealing his darkest and most disturbing impulses. Some passages are so graphic and psychologically intense that I had to pause my reading more than once. It is not an easy book to digest, but if you are looking for something bold, extreme, and undeniably different, this one certainly delivers.
