The Immaculate Void Gets Some Sweet Listicle Love

This week, The Immaculate Void landed on a new list at The Lineup: ten exemplary books that use horror as a vehicle for exploring emotions and ideas central to what I’ve always thought of as “the business of being human.”

It’s in some stellar company, too. C’mon, who doesn’t get a flush of delight from rubbing bookshelf-shoulders with Shakespeare?

Short, sweet, and with a couple of blurb-worthy takeaways I can later use in — well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves here, eh?

As gratifying as it is to get a nod like this, I just as much appreciate its impact on my To Be Read list — both for the reminder to get after something already on it, and as a source of intel for something new to heave onto the pile. Within hours, I already had the Angela Carter book on my shelf, and that Brian McNaughton isn’t going to languish much longer before taking refuge under our roof.
