Currently I mainly read horror (usually slower literary horror and weird or Gothic stuff more than gore/extreme/slashers), New Weird, a fair few literary classics, and some SSF and mystery now and then. Some of my favourite books are Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Laird Barron's The Imago Sequence, and Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five.

So stuff with a dark edge and some speculative elements is welcome, but I'm staying open minded and I'll try basically anything as long as it's interesting.

Also, if anyone can recommend some magazines or other sorts of regular publications, I'd like to hear about those too. Both for short fiction and recommendations/reviews.

Cheers, A.

If you are into horror, you may enjoy The Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir. Just be warned that we are still awaiting the final, overdue volume.
