Can you believe i fucking lost my Caitlin Kiernan library book 😒 oh, and ao3 is down. When it rains it pours

The writing is absolutely beautiful in this. Really enjoying the premise of Infect Your Friends & Loved Ones, though struggling a bit with the protagonist. We'll see where this goes!

I have to physically restrain myself from reading anymore so I don’t finish this book too quickly.

I want to savor this book so badly but it’s also so incredible that i can’t put it down 😭

I am absolutely tearing through this book

Oh boy, i sure do love this kid, Arno. I hope nothing bad happens to him :)

Oh my God this book is fucking phenomenal

Bradbury Weather: This is one of those science fiction stories where you're dropped in the middle of it with no preamble or explanation. You figure it out along the way. And while I don't think I figured everything out, what I did learn was rich and complex and so interesting. Poor Dorry. 3

Andromeda Among the Stones: A quintessential Kiernan story. It has all the elements of their best works and I cannot stop thinking about that ending.
La Peau Verte: Such a lovely and horrifying depiction of trickster fae.
Houses Under the Sea: One of Kiernan's greatest stories. Read it in grad school first and it really never gets old.
Bradbury Weather (so far): Love when Kiernan gets science fiction-y with it.

Andromeda Among the Stones: this. is. why. i. read. caitlin. kiernan!!!!
A classic Kiernan story of horrific and gorgeous proportions. This one was particularly fun because it’s hard to follow exactly what’s going on, but who tf cares because the imagery is fabulous.

Kinda never want this horror show to end while at the same time wondering what more could possibly happen

Nick is actually WILD frfr

So impressed with Koja for being able to keep the voice of this novel consistent

Now this is what I’m talking about; exact opposite of Canon, thank God

I think i have to DNF this book because ain’t no way im going to be able to get through 464 pages of this insanely bad dialogue

Really not enjoying this so far, but I’m not deep in yet, so there’s still time to change my mind.

I don’t like how heavy-handed the book is with its progressiveness. Trust that your reader already agrees with you and is a progressive too; not everything needs spelled out and ham-fisted.

The writing on a sentence level is very good, though.

“Onion” is such a good example of a story i wish i had wrote 😭

What an enjoyable but insanely odd little book

This story isn’t something i would have ever chosen to read on my own but I’m liking it!

So. Fucking. Cool.

As a writer, I am so envious of QNTM’s intellect and imagination

This book is incredible

BRO WHAT

Part I: Unknowns

UHM, WOW!? This is phenomenal. 5/5. Insanely good. No notes.

Smart & clever. I’m so impressed by this book.

Such an immersive opening chapter like holy shit

Tohru is legitimately the sweetest character ever

Forgot how genuinely funny Fruits Basket is!

Helping Hands: good beginning, slowish middle, great ending. I’m not sure how I would have improved this slump except maybe you have shortened the story.
