Happy Birthday! Protean Depravity Turns Five!

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

Have some tea or coffee or wine or beer or champagne, if you like, and let this be an opportunity for us all to celebrate together, wherever you are!

Meanwhile, I have birthday presents for you! Here's a giveaway. As usual, just write a mail to proteandepravity@gmail.com and write to me which books you want me to leave at either the Hammett Bookstore or the Otherland Bookstore and under which name. If you want to meet up/catch up, we can do that too.

So here's the book selection from which you can choose from; 

- The Reddening by Adam Neville - A folk horror story that erupts when some prehistorical remains of people and animals are found in an English small town.

- Fears, edited by Ellen Datlow - An anthology of stories surrounding our deepest fears, that wasn't my favorite at all, but who knows, maybe you'll love it?

- The Gaia Chime by Johnny Worthen - A film project gone wrong unravels much more deeper troubles about our world and its survival.

- We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer - A sort of light version of Danielewski's House of Leaves, this book has been all the rave this year. Just not for me.

- The Hitchcock Hotel by Stephanie Wrobel - Love the set-up, didn't love the plot. Maybe you can love it more?

- The Eyes are the Best Part by Monika Kim - The story of a young girl plotting to kill her stepfather and dreaming of eating his blue eyes, surprisingly won this year's Bram Stoker Award for superior achievement in a first novel, so don't miss the chance!

- Night Train by David Quantick - A science-fiction horror story about a woman stuck in a train.

- The Twisted Dead by Darcy Coates - What happens when someone with paranormal abilities gets a job as a groundskeeper in a small town’s cemetery? Well, the Queen of Paranormal Mysteries, Darcy Coates, lets us know.

- Liminal Spaces: An Anthology of Dark Speculative Fiction edited by Kevin Lucia - Features short stories by names such as Gwendolyn Kiste, Michael Wehunt, Todd Keisling, Chad Lutzke, and Kristi DeMeester.

- Hospital by Han Song - A very weird hospital dystopia.

Pick a book and let me know how to get it through to you! And until then, have a great time!
