Delicate Condition
Danielle ValentineAlly Wilkes / AV Wilkes62/2023 was Delicate Condition by Danielle Valentine (thanks to @mirandajewess for the ARC) and OOF, I loved it. I'm viscerally terrified of pregnancy, so this smart, medical-horror update of Rosemary's Baby really hit home, full of medical gaslighting and... Satanists?

Ghost Wall
Sarah MossAlly Wilkes / AV Wilkes27/2023 was Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss, which I've been meaning to read forever - stunning, absolutely stunning, so tense and filled with psychogeography and horrible coercion. Could be read as an excellent double bill with Skin Grows Over by @LEAllansGhost.
