House of the Bloodfruit

Claudia J. Filusch

When sickness comes to the village, it takes the children first. Xander is burning from the inside, his body wasting away while the healers whisper that nothing more can be done. Desperate to save her younger brother, Maeve turns to the only hope left—the forbidden orchard beyond the hills, where crimson fruit grows on twisted trees and the mist never lifts. The villagers speak of it only in warnings. They say the fruit can heal any wound. They also say the orchard is alive. Maeve steals the fruit and brings it home. Xander begins to recover, but something inside him has changed. And beyond the village, the orchard is stirring. Soon the bodies begin to appear—hollowed, bloodless, organs missing as though harvested by unseen hands. The fruit gives life. But the orchard always takes something in return.

Hum

Helen Phillips

From the National Book Award–longlisted author of The Need comes an extraordinary novel about a wife and mother who—after losing her job to AI—undergoes a procedure that renders her undetectable to surveillance…but at what cost? In a city addled by climate change and populated by intelligent robots called “hums,” May loses her job to artificial intelligence. In a desperate bid to resolve her family’s debt and secure their future for another few months, she becomes a guinea pig in an experiment that alters her face so it cannot be recognized by surveillance. Seeking some reprieve from her recent hardships and from her family’s addiction to their devices, she splurges on passes that allow them three nights’ respite inside the Botanical Garden: a rare green refuge where forests, streams, and animals flourish. But her insistence that her son, daughter, and husband leave their devices at home proves far more fraught than she anticipated, and the lush beauty of the Botanical Garden is not the balm she hoped it would be. When her children come under threat, May is forced to put her trust in a hum of uncertain motives as she works to restore the life of her family. Written in taut, urgent prose, Hum is a work of speculative fiction that unflinchingly explores marriage, motherhood, and selfhood in a world compromised by global warming and dizzying technological advancement, a world of both dystopian and utopian possibilities. As New York Times bestselling author Jeff VanderMeer says, “Helen Phillips, in typical bravura fashion, has found a way to make visible uncomfortable truths about our present by interrogating the near-future.”

firstly, i want to thank claudia j. filusch for giving me an advanced reader's copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

house of the bloodfruit was a terrifying short horror story about nature giving and taking away. in this novel, we follow two siblings, maeve and xander. xander has been ill for quite some time, and is on the brink of death. coughing up blood and losing weight at an alarming rate. since their parents have passed on, maeve has taken the task of ensuring her brother's health and safety, by any means necessary. maeve hears a village story about a tree in the forest that is said to heal all sicknesses, and so she takes her brother to the forest and takes its fruit.

this is not at all a story with a happy ending, and we know this from the first page of the novel itself, where the author warns us to be wary. the horror elements of this story were genuinely top notch, with so much detail added for a novel with only 176 pages. you truly feel for maeve as she witnesses her brother go through the worst nightmare imaginable, something she cannot control. the fruit from this tree is dangerous, and while it gives its eater good spirits and health, it takes away their freedom in return. there is little hope in this story, and as we witness maeve's fall into despair, we are immersed into a compelling horror, filled with grief, body horror, desperation and pain.

the book was incredibly fast paced, but never leaves you wanting more. it gives you every delectable detail in the most horrific ways imaginable, and i ate. it. up. this story's atmosphere took me by surprise and i loved every page.
