Book 1 of #WITMonth: Nineteen Claws and a Black Bird by Agustina Bazterrica (translated by Sarah Moses) It seems I love horror short story collections from Argentina, so I was disappointed that this wasn’t better. The first few stories and the last was great but the rest left me wanting so much more.

Seven Empty Houses by Samanta Schweblin (translated by Megan McDowell) This what I love about Argentinean horror short story collections, a brilliant collection of tense and creepy, that leaves you uneasy and pondering the metaphors. Schweblin isn’t as good as Enríquez but still worth reading.

I needed to do some proper art for Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness, which has shaken me so so deeply.

#taishe art #the left hand of darkness #thinking about how the planet's name probably translates to Dark.... #gethen is the world and getheny is one of the only literally translated words we get. it means new moon or lit. 'darkness' #i don't believe the dark in gethen means winter because they don't have axial tilt seasons - so no longer nights! i think it's a #soil/burial/birth metaphor. creation unfinished and all that yaknow
