He tries teaching for a bit in an English school, but gets bored. He then gets a job teaching on the Greek island of Phraxos, but gets even more bored. While wandering around the island, contemplating suicide, he stumbles upon the house of a rich eccentric named Maurice Conchis. The two become friends, but what starts off as a life-saving relationship develops into a series of sinister psychological games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why I recommend it:\u00a0<\/strong>This is one of my all-time favourite books (humble brag: I found a first edition of it in a charity shop and it is one of my most prized possessions). It\u2019s an absolute whirlwind from one chapter to the next, and you never know what Conchis is really thinking or planning. It\u2019s a long book, but there are no wasted words, no boring subplots, just the most intense cat and mouse game you\u2019ll ever read. Oh, and the ending is batshit crazy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>My ugh rating:\u00a0<\/strong>\ud83e\udd7a\ud83e\udd7a\ud83e\udd7a<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.\u00a0<em>Red Dragon<\/em>\u00a0by Thomas Harris<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"259\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dystopic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/81dkf1dFePL-259x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dystopic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/81dkf1dFePL-259x400.jpg 259w, https:\/\/www.dystopic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/81dkf1dFePL-663x1024.jpg 663w, https:\/\/www.dystopic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/81dkf1dFePL-768x1187.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dystopic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/81dkf1dFePL-994x1536.jpg 994w, https:\/\/www.dystopic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/81dkf1dFePL-1325x2048.jpg 1325w, https:\/\/www.dystopic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/81dkf1dFePL.jpg 1529w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This is for you if:<\/strong>\u00a0You want something fast-paced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This is not for you if:<\/strong>\u00a0You\u2019re easily spooked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What it\u2019s about:\u00a0<\/strong>Do I really need to describe the plot of\u00a0<em>Red Dragon<\/em>?! It\u2019s the first novel in the Hannibal Lecter series and follows Will Graham, an FBI profiler, as he attempts to capture a serial killer nicknamed the \u2018tooth fairy\u2019. Problem is, Will believes he needs the help of one of the world\u2019s worst serial killers to do this, a cannibal he caught years before \u2013 Hannibal Lecter. Will Hannibal help Will, or will he just try and mess with his mind?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why I recommend it:\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2019m not sure why, but when I first read this book I was shocked at how well-written it is. It\u2019s captivating, loads of fun and it\u2019s easy to see why so many movies have been adapted from it \u2013 not forgetting the best TV show of all time, of course, Hannibal, which I\u2019ve seen about five times. The characters are well-rounded, the pacing is spot on and Hannibal is the most fascinating villain ever.

The protagonist is a woman named Sasha who has returned to Paris from England following the death of her baby and the breakdown of her marriage. She is living in poverty and is an alcoholic, and seems to be perpetually yet aimlessly searching for something. Is it love? Safety? Pain? Whatever it is, she can\u2019t seem to grasp hold of it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why I recommend it:\u00a0<\/strong>The suffering in this novel is almost unbearable. Sasha is an incredibly flawed character who makes lots of really bad decisions, but all you\u2019ll want to do is save her from herself. However, what makes the book even more painful is that she doesn\u2019t really want to be saved. Jean Rhys wrote down-and-out woman characters so incredibly well, and each of her stories is a microcosm of the inequalities and lack of agency women had in the 1930s, but\u00a0<em>Good Morning, Midnight<\/em>\u00a0will always be my favourite. I think of Sasha often and hope she\u2019s doing okay, wherever she ended up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>My ugh rating:<\/strong>\u00a0\ud83e\udd7a\ud83e\udd7a\ud83e\udd7a\ud83e\udd7a\ud83e\udd7a<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then try out my novel,\u00a0<em>These Unnatural Men<\/em>!
