Buried by the Dead - Jen McGregor
A bit of a different reading this week with a blend of gothic horror and dark humour. What I love about this story is the way it gets the feel of the remote countryside in Western Scotland, the persistent and petrichorean sensation of not-quite-rain on dense vegetation. The character's voice is also wonderfully rendered; she's self-absorbed but also very self-aware, conscious of the absurdity of her position. A wonderful story to read.
Buried by the Dead was read from Haunted Voices, which can be bought directly from the publisher here - https://www.hauntpublishing.com/books/haunted-voices
