Ily grant Morrison and your Scottishness but i SERIOUSLY CANT STAND IT WHEN PEOPLE WRITE OUT SCOTTISH ACCENTS RAHHHH IM DYSLEXIC IT TAKES ME 80 TIMES LONGER TO READ THE DIALOGUE AND HALF OF IT MEANS LITERALLY NOTHING TO ME I WILL EXPLODE Alan Moore does this too and it drives me absolutely up the wall

These are the most nothing burger characters smh and, gang, I hate it when I man tries to write a pregnant woman/woman with young kids when he clearly hasn’t thought about what the entails for more than 10 minutes in his life. Like, no one thinks like that???? And also you stripped her of all personality other than mother. It’s giving Guillermo Del Toro’s women in Frankenstein, I fear. But somehow worse

This book is so painfully written by a man

If this guy wants more than 3 stars they better stick the landing crazy style. It could be great, but his writing just is not it to me. His writing style just tends to be a bit boring I fear
Maybe he’d be good at something other than horror, or maybe Shirley Jackson just set my bar too high

What if we just told you in a paragraph what cosmic horror is instead of letting you experience it. Gang. I didn’t like the last Josh Malerman book I read so idk why I’m hoping this one is different

I can’t explain it but this NEEDS to be illustrated by Dave McKean. It just has the vibes of one of his books

Men in their 20s are so irritating smh

Jordie Bellaire worked on this?????? She’s my love and I would’ve had no idea cuz this is the weakest work from her I’ve seen smh it’s not bad it just doesn’t compare to anything else she’s done. Oh well

3 pages in and I’m already devastated??? Goddamn brother you were in serious need of therapy
