“A quick orange glow as the whale skims close to the sunny surface for two seconds, enough for Jay to get one quick, baffling glimpse of a detail at the top of the throat: two white symbols etched into the dark flesh.
Each set like a five-pointed trident.
What kind of whale has symbols drawn inside it?
Like those signs outside Monastery Beach, maybe.”

I thought this was about a boy swallowed by a whale.

“But after Jay fled home, he accepted he was godless, just like his dad. Mitt had robbed that piece of him, too.”

This book is setting itself up to be devastating

I don’t want there to be a queen. Ew.

I know it’s Clive Barker, so I knew that it was going to be grotesque, but my god. A sex scene has never made me feel so uncomfortable.

“Their coupling had had in every regard but the matter of her acquiescence, all the aggression and joylessness of rape.”

Good lord okay

I am so confused about the relationships between these people. I don’t know who is married to who, who had an affair with who. What is going on. All I know is Frank jerked off to death.

We are on page seventeen and he is jerking his shit. Alright.

Oh so this thing is like a dead soldier and it’s eating people. Great. Okay.

“But that was more than enough time for him to see the pale limbs, the spindly fingers digging deep into the roof of the tunnel, and the tattered black clothes that shrouded the torso that hung below a soft, misshapen head. A head that had two eyes, as black and beady as those of the inquisitive mouse, but instead of curiosity, filled with a gnawing, hateful hunger.”

Get the fuck away from me

Jonny’s descriptions of body horror and spooky creatures will forever be my favorite, he’s just so good at making me uncomfortable.

The Archivist never misses

“It is the colour of a bleached skull, his flesh; and the long hair which flows below his shoulders is milk-white. From the tapering, beautiful head stare two slanting eyes, crimson and moody, and from the loose sleeves of his yellow gown emerge two slender hands, also the colour of bone, resting on each arm of a seat which has been carved from a single, massive ruby.”

What a sick opening my god

They had their perfect reunion and then he just leaves her and won’t answer her calls???? I am tired of deacon.

This man’s writing is just so delicious

“The best way to seal a woman’s mouth was not to reply.” I’m getting sick of this man very quickly

“I have no eyes to weep.” WHAT THE FUCK

Jake was literally the only one I NEEDED to stay alive but I guess they’re all gonna die anyway he’s just first 🫩🫩🫩 my boy

Later, long after this video was recorded, the machines “would be removed and disposed of without being analyzed for their function. Numerous theories on the internet ascribe them as interdimensional portal stimulators, complete with diagrams. Engineering experts, however, have speculated they are simply a crude electromagnetic field generator.”

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WITHOUT BEING ANALYZED FOR THEIR FUNCTION?????????

Project Prometheus? Sounds so innocent. GET ME OUTTA HERE

Okay so all it took is everyone getting mad at each other for shit to happen. Is that what the experiments were, at least in part? Causing the subjects emotional and/or physical pain and distress, which lures whatever entities they were looking for?

“The camera looks down at a man strapped onto a centrifuge, which spins rapidly. The man wears a strange noduled steel helmet and sensory deprivation goggles.

The man silently screams.”


What the fuck are we DOING

“The wall rustles again. It sounds like chuckling.” No, fuck off

I’m not having a good time I am home alone and every noise sounds like a demon is approaching

I knew that Dany was 13 at the beginning but actually reading about it is awful oh my god

“If you are so sure of that, why do not we test your theory? Let us expose this log to light and air. If no dragon queen hatches from within it, then I shall concede I was wrong. I will no longer oppose it being cut into timber to build a great ship for the Khuprus family.” What are we TALKING ABOUT????

Who is the one who remembers oh my god 🥀🥀🥀 I don’t understand what the serpents are doing

“Mark him with a sign like this earring. He’s going to be ship’s property. Bet it’s the first time in the history. Of Jamailla City that a liveship bought a slave of her own.” Vivacia is going to drown you all for doing this to her boy
