Book review: The Black Orb, by Ewhan Kim

Cover of The Black Orb, by Ewhan Kim, translated by Sean Lin Halbert, featuring the back of a man with short black hair, with three red circles/spheres circling him down what looks like a an abstract checkerboard-design funnel.

This book isn’t for everyone, with its weird horror, violence of various kinds, a problematic main character, and mysteries that never really get resolved; however, it absolutely kept me interested and engaged, and presented a lot of ideas to consider.

Paperbacks from Hell #3: THE REAPING by Bernard Taylor

Cover of The Reaping, by Bernard Taylor, Paperbacks from Hell edition. Features a tower in the countryside with a line of female figures apparently involved in some ritual.

The story just exudes a gothic atmosphere that gets increasingly bizarre in ways that simultaneously attract and repel Rigby and the reader. There’s a slow build of discomfort and the sense that something is just a bit off, slowly increasing in creepiness as Rigby’s curiosity and failings further entrap him in the situation.
