Depends what you like, but I'd highly recommend House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielowski. It's a horror with a Sci Fi element and unlike anything else I've ever read. It's very weird and possibly not for everyone. |

OK, I'll also recommend Megahex, which is a compendium of short comic strips about a witch and her anamorphic friends who spend their lives getting stoned and having sex and and taking the piss out of each other. They would probably fit in on the forums. |

Oh this has piqued my interest! Sci-fi horror is my favourite (sub)genre |

Earlier this year I read Brotherless Night by V.V. Ganeshananthan. It's a coming of age novel at the outbreak of the Sri Lankan war. I found it deeply moving - the way you survive and find meaning even when things seem impossible to live through. |

It's more of a horror just elements of Sci Fi, but if that's your thing then I can recommend it, but you will never have read anything like it, and I say that with absolute confidence. |

I've only come across a couple of other people who've read it, which I've always thought was weird given how highly it's rated by everyone who has. |

This book is everything. My favourite book I read last year. |

"Ted, the official Pawtobiography.
Just googled this. Never realised he'd written a book. Big fan of Ted.
Me too, poor lad looked a bit frail on this years Xmas special 😞"
Yes, I fear it may have been his last |
