The State of Dark
Judith MokKeith RidgwayJudith Mok's The State Of Dark is a beautifully fragmented, glimpsed, memoir of her family members and their friends, and of their love of music, literature, dance, art, and each other. A gentle expression of grief and anger, it is a powerful, moving book. https://t.co/LM8gMhoMzB

Dark Neighbourhood
Vanessa OnwuemeziKeith RidgwayTwo (very different) short story collections I've really liked in the last couple of years - Vanessa Onwuemezi's Dark Neighbourhood and Ben Pester's Am I In The Right Place. And soon, you can see the two writers together. Yay! I can't though, because I teach on Thursdays. Boo! https://t.co/gwsrdoBDcf

Our Share of Night
Mariana EnriquezKeith RidgwayFinished Mariana Enriquez's epic Argentinian horror story Our Share Of Night. Quite a book. Adam Thirlwell in his review in the @LRB claims that it converts the Gothic into something new. And I think he's right. It's a cold, bright, terrifying look at the horror of power.
