i hope Z found a passageway to Navidson so he could fellate him, as he so obviously wanted. parasocial weirdo /jk this book is really good, or is it good because i'm looking at the goodness that isn't shown? Hmmmmmmmm (no it's good)

Is this guy fucking stupid?

The gasp I gāsped when I realized what was going on, AND THERE'S STILL 25% OF THE BOOK LEFT AAAAAHHH

I love 1800's prose, it's always like "My good reader, I witnessed a man accidentally trip a child and keep walking.... it disturbed me so much that I had nightmares about him all night and I started stalking him because I'm certain he's Satan himself..... he looks weird too, but I can't tell you why, you'll just have to take my word for it." And they're never wrong lmao

I have a headache.

this is definitely commentary. now to see if the ending is as bad as people say

this shit sucks but i need to find out if it's bad because it's a commentary or if it's bad because it's bad

This horror experience is brought to you by John Harvey Kellog.

WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS THIS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD?????

"i didnt see gimli return from battle but he's probably okay"
"how am i supposed to rest easy when i can't see him in front of my face and tell him i killed 39 orcs"

gawd their friendship is so wholesome

FINISHED THE FELLOWSHIP AT LONG LAST AAAHH

i wish arwen did shit like she does in the movie :(

at this point it's beyond obvious that merricat was the killer (if it wasn't from the first page), and i'm getting a little tired of her tantrums. the crimes are fictional but my irritation is real.

Not sure if this is a theme amongst all of Shirley Jackson's protagonist, but I noticed both M.C. and Eleanor from The Haunting of Hill House are prone to flights of fancy, often either childish or macabre, both to extremes. The silly fantasies make these characters seem whimsical and innocent, while the dark ones remind you these are adults who have seen terrible things, and may yet be responsible for some others.

Mrs Montague makes me think of that tumblr post that said "the crimes are fictional but my irritation is real" fuck her lmao tho i'm sure arthur does already 🤢

kind of laughing internally at the person who left a review saying that the dialogue was really unrealistic. these people are weirdos. that's the point. that's how they ended up in this situation. realistic for you is not realistic to a telepath, a delusional anxiety sufferer, someone who has been treated like a criminal their whole life, and a professor of the occult.

ms jackson i did not give permission for you to look into the future and write me into your book. also why did you name me eleanor

proud survivor of reading about them eating, drinking, and sleeping in tom bombadil's company for thirty damn pages. i thought they'd never leave the shire.
