This one has a very David Lynch feel to it (arguably more so than Nightvale, as in Nightvale the unexplained weirdness is so over the top and comical, where here it is threatening and just close enough to reality to make it uncomfortable). The Thistle Officer who changes her name every conversation reminds me rather unnervingly of the "Mysterious Man" from Lost Highway. I mean that in a complimentary fashion.

I tried reading this once before, but found some of the subject matter was hitting me a little hard at the time. I've decided to pick it up again as I've always been curious about it. Enjoying it much more this time.

This is an update to let friends know I am going to be pressing on with this one and that it is highly enjoyable. I’m stopping for a bit though as my Grandfather died the other day and some of the subject matter is hitting a little too close. I’m now going to curl up with the literary comfort food of reading a sci-fivepic and will be back to this later.

I may have to check this out; I eventually gave up on Nightvale as the overall vibe seemed to quickly go from weird to whimsical to twee/precious, but this sounds intriguing - the Mystery Man sequences from LH are among my very favorite movie scenes, and anything with that touch of the unheimlich is very much in my wheelhouse.

The Mystery Man scenes are my favorite favorite in all of Lynch's filmography (and he has many scenes that I love to revisit). There's just something about that character that refuses to let go.
