Reading a variety of books today.
The God of the Woods
June 08, 2025
The God of the Woods by Liz Moore is a haunting, character-rich literary thriller set in 1975 at a remote Adirondack summer camp, where the disappearance of 13‑year‑old Barbara Van Laar echoes the unresolved vanishing of her brother 14 years earlier. Moore skillfully weaves multiple timelines and perspectives — campers, counselors, investigators, and the privileged Van Laar family — against a backdrop of dense, foreboding woods that feel almost alive. Critics consistently praise its immersive atmosphere, precise prose, and intricate plotting, likening its slow-burning tension to Donna Tartt’s The Secret History.

I am watching chronological episodes of The Twilight Zone, in its 1985 series. Lots of great actors in this tv show from back in the day.
I bought some new albums:
- Abul Mogard - Quiet Pieces
- Civilistjävel! x Mayssa Jallad - Marjaa: The Battle of the Hotels
- Death in Vegas - Your Love
- Cindytalk - Camouflage
Started reading Stephen King, Fairy Tale. It's not a new novel — just maybe two or three years old. I also bought a collection from Clark Ashton Smith, The Dark Eidolon and Other Fantasies published by Penguin Classics.
