October 2023 Book Club Picks

Coraline by Neil Gaiman: The little door was like a dream come true for Coraline. After her inattentive parents move her to a new house, full of oddball neighbors and nothing fun to do, Coraline thought she would go out of her mind with boredom...until she crawled through the door one day and found herself in the arms of her Other Mother, a kind, cheerful who can grant Coraline's every wish. Fun games, delicious food, never-ending adventures - it's all a dream come true to Coraline. But as she falls deeper into the Other Mother's world, she starts to realize that everything is not as it seems...and that the Other Mother has no intention of letting her leave.

Plunge by Joe Hill: In 1983, the research ship Derleth vanished near the Arctic circle. Thirty-five years later, the ship sent out a distress call. Tracing the signal to a remote atoll in the Bering Strait, the Rococo oil company hires the Carpenter brothers and their salvage crew to investigate the ghost ship. Joined by a marine biologist and an oil executive, the brothers set out on a grim mission to learn what caused the disappearance and recover the bodies of the crew...only to find that the Derleth's men aren't dead. Even if they're also not quite...alive...anymore.

Monsters in America: Our Historical Obsession With the Hideous and the Haunting by W. Scott Poole: Salem witches, frontier wilderness beasts, freak show oddities, alien invasions, Freddie Krueger - from the colonial past to the present, the monster in all its various forms has been a staple of American culture. But how did this macabre fascination take root? Poole seeks to answer that question by tracing it through history and culture, opining that the creation of the monstrous "other" not only reflects society's fears but shapes actual historical behavior and becomes a cultural reminder of inhuman acts.

Anthony Bourdain's Hungry Ghosts by Anthony Bourdain and Joel Rose: On a dark, haunted night, a Russian oligarch dares a circle of international chefs to play the samurai game of 100 Candles--where each storyteller tells a terrifying tale of ghosts, demons and unspeakable beings--and prays to survive the challenge.

Mister Magic by Kiersten White: Even thirty years after tragedy shut down production, fans of the long-running children's show Mister Magic still reminisce fondly on the internet about it - the lessons they learned, the fun they had, and above all, the protection and guidance from the show's enigmatic host. Even the former cast, called the Circle of Friends, have spent all their lives searching for that unique brand of love and fulfillment they felt under Mister Magic's watchful eye. But with no surviving footage and no information about the show's production, memories are all the Circle of Friends has. When a twist of fate finally brings the Circle back together in the remote desert compound where the show was filmed, they finally begin putting the piece together about the beloved childhood show - what happened on that deadly last day? Who, or what, is Mister Magic? And have the Friends come to this compound of their own free will...or have they been lured into a trap?

If I had a nickel for every story in Anthony Bourdain’s Hungry Ghosts that involves yanking something out of a person’s bootyhole, I’d have two nickels.

Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

J'ai acheté un livre à mon frère. Hungry Ghosts, du chef Anthony Bourdain. Il y a ce qu'il aime : quelque chose d'amusant et quelque chose d'intelligent. Dans le livre se trouvent des recettes de lui. Ils sont écrits dans une histoire qui met en scène des fantômes et des monstres dans les cuisines. Mon frère aime les histoires, il n'a pas essayé de cuisiner les recettes. Il aime le chef Anthony Bourdain et aime apprendre la cuisine et voyager, mais mon frère ne cuisine pas bien.

Je pensais qu’il aimerait le livre parce que nous avons trouvé un livre similaire à la McKay’s. C'était Get Jiro, d'Anthony Bourdain aussi. C'était une aventure fantastique sur un chef de sushi. Mon frère a adoré la série télévisée sur le chef Jiro et a trouvé le livre amusant. Quand j'ai vu Hungry Ghosts, j'ai pensé à lui.

Anthony Bourdain’s Hungry Ghosts

Welcome back weekly comic fanatics! This week we are taking on a whole trade! Anthony Bourdain’s Hungry Ghosts has just released in a beautifully creepy hardback that is on the shelves today! This book comes to us as a collection of short stories. Anthony Bourdain meant a lot of great things to a lot of different people, he has always inspired my love of travel, food, and culture, and I’m glad that this trade will be able to make it into the hands of other fans who loved what he loved.

Warning. These stories are intended for mature readers and depict gore and a lot of body horror. I will try to tag it accordingly. The creative team behind this project includes Anthony Bourdain and Joel Rose as writers, and the artistic talents of Sebastian Cabrol, Sal Cipriano, Vanesa Sel Rey, Francesco Francavilla, Irene Koh, Leonardo Manco, Alberto Ponticellie, Paul Pope, Mateus Santolouco, and Jose Villarrubia.

"If I'm an advocate for anything, it's to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. Walk in someone else's shoes or at least eat their food. It's a plus for everybody." -Anothony Bourdain

Spoilers & Review under the cut. Cheers!

Story and Visuals  The writing is what one might expect from someone like Bourdain. There is no flowery descriptions and it reads blunt and matter of factually. The story telling is mostly done through the art. Each issue is a different horror artist and a different story. Portrayed as a challenge, each narrator is an international chef who spins a tale of horror and suspense. For this particular review I’m going to focus on Boil in the Belly.

This short story is a grossly disturbing piece of body horror. A young chef’s body is over taken by a strange unknown creature demanding food! Unable to rid her son of the creature, the mother takes to feeding it. But as much as she feeds it, it only demands more.

The family’s desperation turns to a doctor. A very strange doctor... Someone who is familiar with the case! Just when I didn’t think it could get any worse, it does... He diagnoses the young chef as falling victim to a “Hungry Ghost” and proceeds to expel it from the host’s body.

My friends. I am not one for horror...or gore... or body stuff... but I have to admit this is a great book. Despite the tightening in my chest and the gurgling fluids in my stomach, the illustrations of this book make it a solid read. And just in time fore Halloween gift giving!

So you die hard horror fans and fans of the late, great Anthony Bourdain, this one is for you. I’m honestly not sure the size of overlap on that venn diagram, but still, this is a book that will make your toes curl. How delightful!

Ratings: Overall 9/10 - I’m utterly squeamish. For me personally, the writing is a bit blunt and paced awkwardly, but the art more than makes up for some solid story telling. Gutts 10/10 - Hold onto your insides kiddos! Butts 1/10 - I probably had my eyes closed.  Chances of Picking Up the Next Issue: 1/10 - Nothing personal ghosts, but I’m not about that blood stuff. And also, this is a trade...so it’s kind of finished.

This is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.

“Anthony Bourdain’s Hungry Ghosts” by Anthony Bourdain, Joel Rose and other top horror comic artists

This is incredible, absolutely incredible. A collection of different horror comics, but still connected by an overarching theme. All the stories revolve around food…or consumption(?) at the very least.

A table of chefs sit around eating and take turns telling ghost stories. Kinda cool, and unique. Real unique. If you have a chance to check it out go for it, for mature readers only.

Ranking Books I Read in 2023 - 30-26

30. The Westerby Inheritance - Marion Chesney

I didn't manage to plow through an entire Marion Chesney regency series like I have in pervious years, but I did read a lot of standalones. And honestly, this one isn't even Regency, it takes place in the 1750s. Either way, it was...fine. Not my favorite thing Marion Chesney ever wrote, but still fun and silly and melodramatic. It does sure exist.

29. Alternate Channels: Queer Images on 20th-Century TV by Steven Capsuto

I read this on recommendation from Matt Baum (he namedrops it in one of his videos, I believe the Barney Miller one?), and it is indeed a great source for context when it comes to the way queer people are portrayed on TV. Unfortunately, the books goes into very minute detail about almost every appearance over the course of sixty-ish years (the edition I read was published in the very early 2000s), and that's a lot to slog through. Some interesting stuff if you can soldier through it.

28. Anthony Bourdain's Hungry Ghosts - Anthony Bourdain and Joel Rose

My heavens, this would have benefited from being a series. Or at the very least a longer book. There's some great material in here, and it's a shame that it's absolutely blasted through in the interest of getting through as many of the stories as possible. This could have been really cool, but it just felt like a simple flash in the pan, and that makes me feel really bad for Anthony Bourdain (more than I already did).

27. Black Paradox - Junji Ito

Along with Junji Ito's infamous ending problems, this one made me notice another disheartening trend for him - he can't pick a premise and stick to it. What starts as potentially a terrifying look into what can drive people to suicide with a potential supernatural twist quickly becomes a Lovecraftian horror story that is pretty heckin bizarre. Neither of them are bad story ideas, but they don't exactly mesh and it's a really clunky transition. There's still a lot of Ito's amazingly gruesome artwork on display, but it still feels kind of lame.

26. I'm Afraid Of Men - Vivek Shraya

Another one that I felt was simply too short. Shraya has such an interesting perspective and such a poetic way of talking about it that I would have loved to hear more. Like, don't go girl, we were just getting to know each other. A good appetizer, though, and I'll definitely be checking out her other works.
