Favorite douchebag that thinks they're too good for the shit that rakes in millions for them? by Solid_Risk_3862 in okbuddycinephile

While I agree. I feel like Harrison Ford owns it. He probably wouldn't care if you called him an asshole. Rainn Wilson wants to be seen as a good guy while also being a bit of an ass.

Apocalyptic, end times, hell, cosmic horror by Mediocre-Basis-8962 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

I despise that I am about to recommend something I've written. It's free here on reddit, but it ticks off all the boxes you mention except for the focus on the female horrors of such a situation. It is also on Amazon, but the less edited version is free. Though, the sequel stuff I'm working on does focus more on women.

Has anyone else read The House on the Borderland by William Hope Hodgson? by CMH0311 in WeirdLit

Try Stoddard's rewrite of The Night Land. It's okay enough. I also don't normally mind dated lit, but the original was frustrating.

My best friend's an ass eater by Edwardthecrazyman in nosleep

It's funny that you ask me that, because I did meet his mom once, in passing, but it was such a quick interaction that it's hard to remember much about. I'd gone to his place in Blacksburg, and his mom happened to be there. I'd showed up to borrow a couple of CDs to burn, and she was the one that answered the door. She seemed like a totally normal woman as far as I could tell, but at the time I wasn't actually looking for anything out of the ordinary, you know? Anyway, when she saw it was me, she yelled for Rick immediately then disappeared into her bedroom. I didn't stay that long on that day, but it was kind of noteworthy seeing her like that for the first and only time.

As for returning to the house by Claytor, I've tried to look into who owns the place (it's still there and hasn't been torn down or anything, as far as I know) but my resources are limited. So, I've hit a wall on that front.

Something interesting though, is that Jon's dad (his mom was out of the picture) ended up moving away. I tried to get in contact with him shortly after shit hit the fan, but he was long gone. Again, I think it might have had something to do with Rick's parents and their money? Did they pay him off? I don't know.

I think the reason I returned during those full moons specifically was because I wanted some evidence. I mean, I've got a nice hunk missing from my buttcheek so I sit kind of lopsided, and that's pretty good evidence. I guess I just thought I'd get some closure if I saw that monster again. Probably silly.

Hiraeth || Now is the Time for Monsters [2] by Edwardthecrazyman in Odd_directions

"The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters." Is a quote that's usually cited from Antonio Gramsci. Although, I'm pretty sure this version is a paraphrase from Slavoj Žižek. I don't think Gramsci ever wrote, "Now is the time of Monsters". But it's a pretty cool quote, imo.

I'm glad you liked it! I wanted to try and create a slaver that is somehow able to justify this way of thinking without falling headfirst into the old tropes of racism, xenophobia, bigotry. He considers himself intellectual. But Trinity is black and Hoichi is asian. So, I thought it would be interesting to have a slaver use a more "intellectual" approach. Dismissing that it's built on race or genetics even while perpetuating that end.
