protean depravity

Alright, constant reader, let's finish up this first chapter in the series A Short Story Reader's Guide to Stephen King, by taking a look at the last four short stories in King's first collection  Night Shift . The four stories discussed here are The Last Rung on the Ladder , The Man Who Loved Flowers , One for the Road , and finally, The Woman in the Room , two of them are horror stories and are pre-published before being included in Night Shift , while the remaining two are rather contemporary, or even literary short stories that are rather on the emotional side and which have been written specifically for this work. As usual, it might be better to read the short stories beforehand, because I will spoil everything.

As the summer goes on raining, I hope my short reviews help you finding good books to read, enjoy!

  The summer was turbulent so far, in terms of both the weather and all the fun things you can do with lots of amazing films, concerts, events, readings all around... And it doesn't look like that's going to change in the near future, so let's keep on looking at some of the stuff a horror fan can do in and around Berlin this summer.

Wheee!! Another year has passed and everybody's favorite book blog turns five!

Nuzo Onoh is a Nigerian-British horror and dark fantasy author, also known as The Queen of African Horror. She is the author of at least eight novels, and has received, as the first African and Black-British, the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2022. I have gotten to know her work in the past year, and I definitely intend to explore it further, so I’m very excited that she accepted an interview for Protean Depravity!
