You would think that this year would've been better for reading - not having to travel for work, not going out and doing anything, etc. But it's been harder to read a lot of the time. Instead, I find myself sleeping or watching tv, being a little mindless, ya know? But that doesn't mean there aren't a ton of books I'm looking forward to reading (or really planned to read already and haven't gotten to them). The Road to Woop Woop is one of those books. Keep an eye out for my review in the future.

The Road to Woop Woop by Eugen Bacon

Release Date: 12/1/2020 

Genre: Collection / Speculative Fiction / Dark Fantasy


Summary: Eugen Bacon’s work is cheeky with a fierce intelligence, in prose that’s resplendent, delicious, dark and evocative. NPR called her novel Claiming T-Mo ‘a confounding mysterious tour de force’. The Road to Woop Woop and Other Stories imbues the same lushness in a writerly language that is Bacon’s own. This peculiar hybrid of the untraditional, the extraordinary within, without and along the borders of normalcy will hypnotise a
nd absorb the reader with tales that refuse to be labelled. The stories in this collection are dirges that cross genres in astounding ways. Over 20 provocative tales, with seven original to this collection, by an award-winning African Australian author.
