Paper Cup by Karen Campbell | #bookreview #ScottishFiction #20BooksOfSummer | @WriterKCampbell @CanongateBooks

I've been meaning to read Paper Cup for quite some time now and put it on my #20BooksOfsummer challenge list to make sure I would finally get around to it. If it's a book you've been meaning to read too, then I highly recommend you bump it up your to-be-read list immediately as it's brilliant. About the Book What if going back means you could begin again?

Ahhh. Ten years since the death of one of my favourite authors. Writer of strange fiction and science fiction, I'm raising a toast of a wee dram of malt whisky to Iain (M) Banks.

Here is a nice wee introduction to his oeuvre in The Guardian.

I've just finished reading #hisbloodyproject by Graeme Macrae Burnet.

This is written in a really unique style, using fictional historical documents to tell the story of a graphic triple murder in a remote Scottish village in the mid 19th Century. The writing is so emersive and convincing, it's hard to believe it's not a true story.

Rather stunned to find #SherlockHolmes author #ArthurConanDoyle wrote a #spooky short #story about the #Trimontium #Roman fort archaeological dig in the early 1900s at #Melrose in the #ScottishBorders. Here’s a link to it online. https://www.arthur-conan-doyle.com/index.php/Through_the_Veil #Scotland #GhostStories #Horror #HorrorStories #ShortStories #ScottishFiction #Archaeology #RomanBritain #ConanDoyle

I've never really delved into short stories before, however I've just finished Every Seven Years, and Rizzio, both by Denise Mina. They were both so so well written, engaging, kind of left me wanting more but satisfied with the ending at the same time.
