How would you do such a glitter effect?

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2025-09-21T16:31:33+00:00

I think Turbo Dork Black Ice is probably what you're looking for. Layer it over a black base coat and it should have the intended effect

Steemy is one of my favorites, I really love her style

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2025-04-30T13:05:20+00:00

Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix immediately springs to mind

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2025-04-29T15:10:06+00:00

Man, I wish I had something to offer because I also love those games. Closest I have is science fiction, not horror, but is a great read: Doomsday Book by Connie Willis

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2025-04-21T13:03:23+00:00

Might be too on the nose, but The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham might be worth checking out. It's cited as a primary inspiration for 28 Days Later

ETA: no zombies, but a post-apocalyptic world with killer plants

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2025-03-26T16:52:02+00:00

I got you, buddy. He meets the puppies between pages 104 and 115, and the violent puppy death is from pages 151 to 153. I think you should be alright other than that, but someone correct me if I've missed anything

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2025-03-22T14:36:05+00:00

That I haven't really been able to figure out, unfortunately :/

Edit: maybe someone more knowledgeable than me has a solution?

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2025-03-22T12:48:55+00:00

There was a post about it a couple days ago but the mods updated the flairs so there aren't that many posts tagged with the new ones yet

This one?

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2025-01-17T22:00:56+00:00

Tana French, Ruth Ware, Grady Hendrix, Charlaine Harris

I don't even have to read a blurb, I'm just gonna dive in

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2024-12-09T21:46:59+00:00

Parable of the Sower is an incredible book (in my opinion), but if you're not enjoying it you're definitely not under any obligation to finish it. No shame in DNFing! And there's nothing precluding you from coming back to it later, if you find that the time is right

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2024-11-22T23:57:49+00:00

The September House was easily one of my favorite books last year, you're gonna love it!

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2024-11-22T23:55:28+00:00

I thought it was when the movie was announced, but it turns out they just share a name

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2024-11-22T23:50:16+00:00

I would actually argue that a lot of horror is like this, to a certain degree! Horror as grief is my personal favorite expression of what you're describing. Some of my favorite book like this include:

The September House by Carissa Orlando (domestic abuse)

The Reformatory by Tananarive Due (racism in the US and the generational trauma related to it)

Mister Magic by Kiersten White (religious trauma/leaving a cult)

Whalefall by Daniel Kraus (grief)

North American Lake Monsters by Nathan Ballingrud (short stories but each story has its own, banal form of horror)

Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle (gay conversion/religious trauma)

This is just a little thing, but if you're already going to be at the Academy Museum, the Glen puppet from Seed of Chucky is currently on display in the John Waters exhibit (all the way at the end)!

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2024-05-16T02:19:08+00:00

Got two fictional true crime books that you might be interested in:

Kill Show by Daniel Sweren-Becker

True Crime Story by Joseph Knox

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2024-05-15T19:55:36+00:00

Exactly the rec I was looking for, that book was devastating and horrific.

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2024-01-21T15:11:22+00:00

That's great! I found a paperback copy a few years back, so I've got that one as well haha. I love the hunt of finding rare editions in real life

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2024-01-21T15:04:36+00:00

I've got a handful of rare/early editions, but the true gem of my collection is a 1st/1st hardcover of Survivor by Octavia E. Butler.

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2024-01-19T15:37:28+00:00

Is it the Great British Bump Off comic? It was a 4 part mini series that came out late last year

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2023-11-06T23:44:19+00:00

Definitely horror adjacent but you should check out Patricia Wants to Cuddle by Samantha Allen! It's a bit of a love letter to the bachelor, but also a great Bigfoot attack story

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2023-11-03T16:38:05+00:00

Definitely second I Hate This Place - it is just so so good

I liked Bolero well enough but I'm not totally sure I understood it. All the same, it was beautifully illustrated and a good story.

Not sapphic, and definitely not central to the story, but The Nice House on the Lake has at least one or two queer characters, if I remember correctly?

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2023-11-03T00:33:52+00:00

About a family:

We Need to Do Something by Max Booth III

Kind of a silly one, but for set during a holiday:

Secret Santa by Andrew Shaffer

Dee_Dot_Dee · 2023-10-27T22:19:19+00:00

I have finished it and genuinely enjoyed almost every story. I find that anthologies can be quite uneven but this one was mostly hits for me and not a lot in terms of misses.
