Benetto

Ah, that makes sense. I wasn’t sure if they were actually poking fun at him or his supporters. It just reads as a word salad to me.

…I’m confused. He named a new mental illness after himself now?

Some authors also sell books on their shops, DRM free. That’s usually the best way to support them.

My Darling Dreadful Thing by Johanna van Veen. Queer gothic horror, and rather interesting read so far.

Haunted, by Chuck Palahniuk. I was reading a ton of transgressive fiction around the same time I read American Psycho. A Clockwork Orange is another good one, and someone already mentioned Lolita.

My Sweet Audrina by V.C. Andrews is worth considering, as it’s standalone (and one of the few books she actually wrote before death) and I remember it being bleaker than Flowers In The Attic.
