Story
Since the late 1980's, The Square had been one of the most important clubs in New York for the alt-comedy scene. But before that it was something much darker and is now a place where evil lingers, waiting for a chance to spill blood. After a night of killing on stage, four comics find themselves in a desperate situation as the spirits of the past come out to play, and a fight for laughs becomes a fight for survival in the most unlikely of places.

This was hilarious, extremely funny as well as being gripping, graphic and intense. I couldn't put it down.

Story
When the world ended, Henry certainly had his hands full keeping his clan alive. After all, it's no easy task bringing electricity back to the world, much less raising animals, expanding the farm, and everything in between. Still, given enough time, he could do it all. There's just one problem. An insurgent group has sprung up, and they're determined to kill him and all the other men so they can steal away women for breeding purposes. And that is something Henry cannot abide.

I couldn't even finish this, had 1 HR left to listen. Compared to the first book that I enjoyed, this was so slow and found myself zoning out a lot, many plot point were repeated to death and the dialogue between the characters was just lame and unrealistic. I can get on board with 2 women wanting to be with this guy, but now it's 4, like he's some kind of God just really put me off the main character and this guy clearly has no idea how to write female characters. Probably gonna avoid book 3 tbh.

Story
Since the 1970s, FantasticLand has been the theme park where "Fun is Guaranteed!" But when a hurricane ravages the Florida coast and isolates the park, the employees find it anything but fun. Five weeks later, the authorities who rescue the survivors encounter a scene of horror. Photos soon emerge online of heads on spikes outside of rides and viscera and human bones littering the gift shops, breaking records for hits, views, likes, clicks, and shares.

Bleak, Disturbing and Brilliant
Reviewed: 06-06-23
I loved how this was written from a journalist interviews and the actors performing were so good. I enjoyed the story and the pacing ans the viewpoints from all different members ans survivors of Fantastic Land. If you enjoy dystopian fiction this is definitely for you! The story is shocking and somewhat unbelievable in parts but I think that added to the dystopian feel and theme of the book. Would love to read more novels in this style of writing.

Story
Reese nearly had it all: a loving relationship with Amy, an apartment in New York, a job she didn't hate. She'd scraped together a life previous generations of trans women could only dream of; the only thing missing was a child. Then everything fell apart, and three years on, Reese is still in self-destruct mode, avoiding her loneliness by sleeping with married men.

Not for me - too focused on relationships
Reviewed: 05-06-23
I can understand why people love this book, it tackles some really interesting subjects, I love queer reads and the backstory interrupting presence day helped build character appreciation, but I just found the story boring and the ending was bland. Also honestly most of the characters annoyed me and I'm not interested in reading about romance and relationship dynamics.
