The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 5 months agoI just finished reading the short story “I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream” by Harlan Ellison. I very much enjoyed it and you might too! Just as a warning, I’d heard it was incredibly unsettling, but I wasn’t really bothered until the last few paragraphs, at which point I kind of freaked. Still totally worth it though.

The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 5 months agoMay I just say: “Sometimes She Let’s Me”, the anthology in the NSFW post this week.

I haven’t read it, but several people on a message board I go to called Snarkfest read it and were raving over it. These particular people have pretty good taste I think, so I wanted to give it a go. Apparently, a few of them felt it lagged a bit in the beginning as well, so maybe it picks up?

Please continue. It’s such a good read. A bit depressing at some parts yet uplifting at the same time. You won’t regret reading it :)

Strongly agree with @Zulu, with the caveat that we can’t know what may be particularly unsettling/press buttons for you… so stop if you are feeling that you need to stop… but I genuinely LOVED this book. Donoghue works her way pretty thoroughly through the possibilities of the situation, so there’s some intensity, but she does it with real…[Read more]

I’m half way through at the moment on your advice, I think I will have to keep reading. I just find myself so haunted by it that I have trouble sleeping (though to be honest I read it just before bed). However I wake up in the morning grateful I’m not in that situation.
