𓀐 @aq-~rGN5: The first time I ever read Laird Barron's "The Croning" was the only time a segment of a horror book ever "unsettled" or ever managed to actually, sincerely mildly "spook" me. I remember it because I relish the feeling. There's a part of the book where the main character and his family members swap ghost stories and I either must have been in the mood to FEEL spooked or maybe I was just cold at the time or something, I dunno. I remember it making my spine tingle with a lil' bit of realistic dread and its novel to me because it remains the only time that has ever happened, ever. The rest of the story isn't even particularly spooky, just that short segment and I was never able to elicit the same response ever again neither upon rereading the story years later, nor with any other work of horror fiction since. Dunno nigguh, it's really weird.+

𓀐 @UKeC=DrJ: I didn't expect it to have gay smut in just the third short story and now I feel conned. The second story was awful - about a quadroon native mom giving in to her white racist husband and psycho mother in law just so she can live in a gated community with a bmw and Coach bags. and now the third story is about a white dude who is seemingly a gay serial killer rapist at the beach and he collects his victims' teeth and he has a navajo tooth or something in his collection. the prose in the second and third stories feels grade school level, like i'm reading a book for 6th grade level understanding. I haven't read fiction published in the last decade but didn't know I had to drop expectations THIS low for a 2025 release. You can find Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology new in any bookstore near you.+

𓀐 @fU2gWs5G: AI recommended this piece of shit to read It was awful, absolutely pretentious writing Of course it won awards because the author is a woman, POC, and bi-sexual, and the book features cringe lesbian bullshit+

𓀐 @S*HB9s2+: First reading of the cask of amontillado scared the hell out of me. That guy was such a psycho. Why did he wall him up? Also the road is scary but too perverse. Almost seems like mccarthy got off on it, especially the roasted baby stuff. Any good horror books set in autumn or on Halloween day / night? Or short stories?+

𓀐 @gMSn9oN2: Is The Masque of the Red Death any good? I've generally found the majority of Poe's stuff lame but the last time I was ever actually forced to read him was probably about seventeen/eighteen years ago during some dumb junior/senior literature class. Is all his stuff basically just as uninteresting as The Raven and The Telltale Heart are?+

𓀐 @eFAzBt5F: I like it, but it's rather inconsistent with the horror aspect. It tries to be transgressive at times but just makes me wish I was reading The Eyes by Aldapuerta again. It's got a compelling narrative though and I'm not even halfway thru it yet, so obviously I'm not going to have my full thoughts until I'm finished.+

𓀐 @iVPU?bmM: I like Mister B.
