4.0

This was a little out of my usual age range but I'm working my way thru everything Clive Barker and it was cute! Fast paced and fantastical, without being too juvenile.

'salem's Lot by Stephen King

4.0

I actually liked this book a lot however it definitely was written in 2 different periods of time because in the first half, there's 7 uses of queer/queerboy and 6 uses of fag/faggot and by page 300 there are NO SLURS WHATSOEVER so I guess Stephen king had a moral crisis about using slurs somewhere in between halves of this book.

Unlike nothing I've ever read before, though I definitely think I need a reread or two to fully glean all the layers to it.

Fallen Bodies: Pollution, Sexuality, and Demonology in the Middle Ages by Dyan Elliott

2.5

Some interesting parts but overall kind of gender essentialist and building up to a thesis regarding the witch hunts that I felt was unnecessary.
