This week I've been mainly reading, no. 179.
Sinead Gleeson's Hagstone (2024) starts as a story of artistic creation, becomes a tale of betrayal & then gets quite gothic horror like in the final third. Its engaging & other than a slightly inconsistent switching of narration from the key/central character and a slightly oddly played (unclearly conceived?) mystical aspect,
it is an engaging read that will make you want to visit the Northernmost isles of the UK.
