Horror In Translation
When I set my reading goals in January, the main one was that 50% of all the fiction that I read this year should be in translation. I've been lagging behind on that a little. Of the close to 80 books that I've started this year, a little under 20 have been in translation.
As we're about to come into October, my mind has obviously turned in the direction of horror. I've realised that I haven't really read much translated horror at all. I've read most of John Ajvide Lindqvist's books (minus Harbour, which has been on my list for year), a few Japanese horror novels, and some of Mariana Enriquez's short fiction. I'm aware of Jenny Hval but haven't yet read anything by her.
So I'm looking for recommendations. If you've read any really great horror that wasn't written in English originally and you think I'd like it, please let me know about it. As always there are no comments on this blog, but you can email me at chris@loottheroom.uk
