When Breath Becomes Air: Moving Life Story
Katabasis is a hellish, heady, and haunting ride - part satire, part myth, part academic exorcism. It’s the kind of book that lingers, not because it flatters the reader, but because it dares to expose the cost of ambition. Highly recommended for any...

💔 The Girlfriend – Michelle Frances (2017)
Admittedly, I watched the series before reading the book-and both were excellent. I know I’m biased about how good Robin Wright is (yes, House of Cards is one of my all time favourites), but Olivia Cooke, ...

Proof That Short Horror Cuts Deep – Fear with @KlacksReads Fear proves short horror cuts the deepest. James Lowry loses four hours of his life, and what follows is a fast, unnerving spiral into paranoia and the fragility of memory. What makes Fear unforgettable isn’t monsters or gore, but how the ordinary turns sinister – a staircase, a breakfast plate, a familiar street suddenly feel wrong. By the end, reality itself tilts, leaving you unsettled yet strangely satisfied.

Jeneva Rose delivers a taut and compelling thriller that blends the intensity of a courtroom drama with the intimacy of a fractured marriage. At its centre is Sarah Morgan, a highly accomplished defence attorney whose professional brilliance is match... What follows is a narrative of relentless tension. Rose captures both the procedural intricacies of the courtroom and the emotional volatility of a marriage under siege. Every testimony, every silence, and every glance between Sarah and Adam deepens ... The novel’s greatest strength lies in its shifting loyalties. Rose keeps the reader constantly recalibrating, one chapter convinced of Adam’s innocence, the next certain of his guilt. By the time the verdict arrives, the story has become less about ... Why @KlacksReads recommends: This is a slick, twist laden thriller that does more than entertain. It forces the reader to confront unsettling questions about loyalty, trust, and how well we can ever truly know the person closest to us. It is precisel...
The Perfect Marriage: Gripping Suspense
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas – John Boyne (2006) (Reviewed by @KlacksReads - 19 October 2025) I first encountered this story through the film adaptation, which left a lasting impression. Reading the novel has only deepened that impact. John Boyne’s work is emotional, raw, and profoundly moving, a narrative that lingers long after the final pa... Told through the eyes of Bruno, the eight year old son of a Nazi commandant, the novel devastates through its simplicity. Bruno befriends Shmuel, a boy on the other side of the fence at Auschwitz, dressed in “striped pyjamas.” To Bruno, it is a curio... Boyne’s brilliance lies in the child’s perspective, the mispronunciations, the misunderstandings, the inability to grasp the enormity of what is unfolding. That innocence is precisely what makes the story so haunting. A shared sandwich, a secret mee... Why @KlacksReads recommends: Because it shows how innocence can both illuminate and shatter our understanding of history’s cruellest truths. This is a novel that endures, sparking reflection on friendship, loyalty, and the devastating cost of hatred.... @KlacksReads (2025, October 19). London, UK.

West Point to Wall Street: My Mental Wellness
Published in November 2025, The Hordes of Envy from author Dean Hunt, whose disciplined prose and thematic precision have earned him a distinctive place in contemporary speculative fiction. I would like to extend my personal thanks to the author for ... Some books entertain. Some provoke. And then there are the rare few that demand reverence. The Hordes of Envy is one of them. By 2055, the world has calcified into extremes: trillionaires ruling from fortified corporate territories, and the rest of humanity abandoned to the lawless Containment Zones. Maddox Reed, once a man of privilege, chooses exile over complicity. His ... Why read it Dean Hunt makes envy the novel’s antagonist - corrosive, contagious, catastrophic. Maddox Reed is morally compromised, forcing the reader to ask whether redemption can exist in a world built on inequity. The world‑building is precise and plausible, ... Who it’s for Fans of unsettling dystopia - think the urgency of The Hunger Games with Orwellian weight - who want a story that lingers and reframes power and privilege. KlacksReads verdict Austere, haunting, and essential: The Hordes of Envy is a cerebral reckoning that stays with you. @KlacksReads | 07 November 2025 | London
