Truly excellent passage that had me empathizing with a catholic priest over the mental toll of the act of confession on the priests, and how the evil of those confessions can (and will) warp your own sense of morality as an imperfect being.

Spooky vibes!

5/5 stars - Uncle Otto's Truck

Straddles a line of completely unbelievable and frighteningly real, and had me justifying how all of this could actually occur even though it is absolute fantasy. It turned me to actually want to read Christine

More direct interaction with the true evil of the dungeons

Feel the same about this as I did about the great Gatsby. Pretentious with moments of brilliance may not be enough

4/5 stars - Survivir Type

Truly creepy story of self cannibalism that had me creeper out... in a good way?

- Chuck Tingle

This is an incredibly intricate and interesting novel and concept that I may not fully grasp by the end, but I am fully bought in

Wonderfully bizarre chaos so far

5/5 stars - Nona

This one was messed up and had me engrossed the whole time.

Crazy stuff is happening, no trains yet though

Beachworld - 5/5

Starts as a meditation in horror that escalates to sci-fantasy madness, and im here for it

The Man Who Would Not Shake Hands - 3/5 stars

Intriguing start, but by the end I found it interesting without adding anything new to the premise. Well executed but lacks any real power.

Exactly what I needed. Goofy and fun bio that doesn't take itself or the subject matter too seriously while still being informative and interesting.

728 pages in and the narrator spoke directly to the reader for the first time in the book, and there has never been any framing device or narrator character setup or alluded to up to this point... what the hell?!

The world and concepts are interesting, but there are significant chunks in which nothing happens even though the setup felt like something would

This is dragging hard with some really weird and unintelligible choices

More fantasy elements than expected, and the mother son relationship at the heart of the story so far is beautifully written, and really highlights a difficult situation for 2 people that love each other tremendously

2/5 stars - Word Processor of God

A belittled and bitter man inherits a magical word processor and proceeds to change his life selfishly and learn no lessons

Shit just got crazy

Things just escalated and I'm here for it

Paranoid: A Chant - 4/5 stars

This poem really invokes a sense of uncertainty about paranoia or justified fear, that I think links nicely into most people's experiences with feeling paranoid

I feel like ive turned a corner and started to genuinely enjoy the atmosphere of the book in a way that I couldn't for the first 2 hundred pages
