The Room Without Corners
A room existed with no corners, no shadows. Anyone who entered found their thoughts looping endlessly until faced directly. Some fled immediately. Others stayed long enough to understand themselves. The room didn’t trap people—it removed their escape routes.

5 True Crime/Horror Books that Will Scare You
I did not expect to read a lot of true crime books this time, because these kind of stories can be tough for me to get through. The fictional killers in these books will make you feel sick, and they literally come off as actual monsters wearing human skin. Several of the other books were amazing horror tales that made my jaw drop, and I thought the concepts were executed to perfection.

REVIEW THE BOOK "UNDERSTANDING DEATH"
Author Sherwin B. Nuland wrote "Understanding Death" to lift the veil of mystery surrounding the dying process, but the purpose was not to depict the horrific scenes of painful and gruesome decline in health, but rather to present it from a realistic biological and clinical perspective, exactly as those who have witnessed and experienced it see and feel.

DEMON SLAYER: THE FLOWER OF HAPPINESS – THE FLOWER OF LOVE.
Considerable as a spin-off, the novel Demon Slayer: The Flower of Happiness "addresses untold stories between parts of the main storyline." Indeed, true to its name, the work is like a "Flower of Happiness" that author Koyoharu Gotouge and writer Aya Yajima send to readers, after so much suffering, sacrifice, and loss on the bloody and tearful journey of the young Kamado Tanjiro.

THE ARCHIVE OF LAST HEARTBEATS
THE QUIET KEEPERS The Archive was nothing like the world imagined it. To the public, the Archive of Last Heartbeats was little more than a poetic name—one of those solemn institutions tucked behind a government ministry, spoken of only when necessary. Newspapers mentioned it rarely, and when they did, they used phrases like “ethical custodianship,” “end-of-life biometric preservation,” or “the Department of Terminal Records.”

Rachel Reviews: Gabriel's Moon by William Boyd
You may not know this but William Boyd is one of my favourite writers. I have never picked up a Boyd book and been disappointed. I think this is because he is an excellent storyteller and for me, that is the singular most important thing about a novel. It needs to transport me, immerse me, make me believe and it needs to be done with the smoothness of royal icing: devoid of bumps and marks and with a shiny glaze and a sweet taste.
