Second Protean Depravity Book Giveaway

Time for some spring cleaning in my home! And that always means discarding some books too. Since, like everything in life, books too get more expensive, I'd like to give them away.

Before they wander into the second hand section of the Otherland Bookstore or the phone booth little free library at the end of my street, I'm giving you guys the choice to take any of the books on the picture you may want to have. 👉

Please remember that these are review copies and apart from a couple of exceptions I haven't purchased them with money, so don't hesitate at all and seize the opportunity!

So we do it like this:

If you see a book you'd like to have, please send a mail to proteandepravity@gmail.com, and include the title of the book, your name (or any name you want to give) and whether you want to pick up the book from the Otherland Bookstore or Hammett Bookstore.

I will then leave the book(s) in the pick-up sections of any of the bookstores under the name you gave, and send you a mail that you can pick them up as soon as they are ready. Then you can go there and say "I'd like to pick up a book for (your name)". That's it. Deadline is next Saturday June 22nd.

I'm also totally up to do a Mission Impossible kind of transfer, I have a trenchcoat and sun glasses and I can put the books in a brown manila folder and leave it on any trash bin in Berlin if you give me the adress, lol.

So the giveaway books are:

A bunch of books I took from various second hand/exchange shelves but have never read and probably never will (or maybe I have read them but don't remember anymore);

📚 Garden of Eldritch Delights by Lucy A. Snyder

📚 The Rust Maidens by Gwendolyn Kiste

📚 Creatures of Want and Ruin by Molly Tanzer

📚 Love in the Time of Dinosaurs by Kirsten Alene

A bunch of somewhat older books that were in my shelves that I finally read for the Mount TBR-challenge, but realized I don't really need to have them in my library;

📚 River of Teeth by Sarah Gailey

📚 Eleanor by Jason Gurley

📚 Mr. Splitfoot by Samantha Hunt

Some newer titles I recently reviewed;

📚 Schrader's Chord by Scott Leeds

📚 Rabbits by Terry Miles

📚 The Invisible Hotel by Yeji Y. Ham

📚 Bored Gay Werewolf by Tony Santorella

📚 Edenville by Sam Rebelein

Finally two bonus non-English books;

📚 Grüne Tomaten by Fannie Flagg (Deutsch)

📚 Ottomania by Erim Şişman (Türkçe)

If you want any, don't hesitate, grab away!

...the Soul of Wit - Short Reviews

Hey all! It's been quite a while since I actually reviewed books here, but I have finally read enough to make some short reviews out of them. In fact, I have been reading a lot but I have been reading all over, especially in different genres, genres that don't really fit in here, but now I have enough freaky books. Make use of the nice weather to read outside and I hope you enjoy my reviews!

Films, Films, and More Films

Ah yes, time to make movie plans again while gods laugh at me. Especially this year I have felt their filmic wrath upon me, more than ever. While it was the flu that knocked me off my socks in February, it is currently the concussion I have had since the beginning of July because of a shelf full of books falling on my head that I have had some problems ever since, like bad concentration, tiredness and not really being able to watch cinema due to eye problems. It is getting gradually better, and the chances are more than good I'll fully recover but it has intervened with my reading and movies. For other people this may be a minor inconvenience but books and movies are basically what I live for, so I also feel depressed ever since, since I also missed most of my planned visits to open air cinemas. I still have some time for that, if the weather plays along. Last week I caught the last GDR movie that was shown at the Freiluftbühne Weißensee, Jadup und Boel (1988), and it was unproble

Introspective Horror, Par Excellence. Reviewing Michael Wehunt's "The Inconsolables"

It is a rare talent for an author to be able to perfectly balance the weird elements in their writing with the mundane; to scatter into what is deceivingly like our lives that which decisively is unlike it, and to do so just to the right degree. This is a delicate craft, and it's one Michael Wehunt masters in his latest short story collection The Inconsolables . The title already implies it: All Wehunt's characters are in a state of uneasiness, they are looking for comfort and for solace, whether by reviving childhood interests after a separation, by adopting a stray dog after the death of a child, in hypochondriasis, or whether it's about a married couple who simultaneously reaches the midlife crisis, or a woman, lead by a crooked and scary cupid, confronting in a room all the men who have sexually assaulted her throughout her life, or the last man on Earth who will die, because he was born thirty-seven days before the dealine for immortality in a new world where it h
