Recs if you like At Night All Blood is Black...

All of his picks since 2008, both summer reading lists and yearly round-ups.

Horror books with a page count of 200 pages or less.

Before we started defining novellas by word count, they were defined as being any book less than 200 pages. Source: my Analysis of Short Stories & Literature professor in community college. I loved that class. But he loved James Joyce. So, ymmv, I guess.

Short, quick reads that still pack a punch and wake you from your numb slumber

Books that when translated into english got their title changed to something completely different. Cuz it happens A LOT and sometimes it's better, sometimes it's worse, sometimes it's just really funny hehehe 🤭. Any and all recommandations from any language welcomed. Please give me all the recs !!

Short books that you can read in a sitting, to help you achieve your yearly reading goal 🤭🥳 Feel free to mention anything else from the list, I'm so glad to add & check them out 😁

an engaging collection that captures the depth and diversity of African storytelling, blending tradition, history, and modern life through powerful voices.

I love horror and I'm really interested in seeing how the genre shows up in different countries and parts of the world. I am making a list of all the books I have currently collected that take place in countries other than the United States, England, Canada, and Australia. I will add as I find more. Currently, there is just one book per country. For those with more, I tried to add less commonly known books. The current countries included in the list: Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Columbia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Finland, Germany, Greenland, France, Hungary, Iceland, India, Iraq, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mexico, Motswana, The Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, The Philippines, Poland, Russia, Scotland, Senegal, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, Uruguay, Wales

A collection of acclaimed classic and contemporary Francophone literature. I chose to classify as Francophone rather than French in order to include authors who wrote in French but were/are not of French nationality, especially authors from colonised countries. Non-exhaustive as I'm not an expert I am keeping this list to one book per author but suggestions very welcome! :)

writers exploring life under war or dictatorship often explore these themes through the image of the desecrated corpse or perverted burial rite. the dead body is front and centre in these works, mostly from writers in the global south.

A list with ALL longlisted titles from the National Book Award for Translated Literature (USA) and the International Booker prize (UK) .

Updated once new nominees are announced.

Currently updated with: • NBA 2018-2025 • International Booker 2016-2026
