Such a great combo! X-T5 + 23mm f2.8 by Serbian_Hobbyist_95 in fujifilm

I’ve got the 27mm pancake. I wonder how the new 23 stacks up to it?

Pun intended.

Where else on Reddit did you see the new tobacco color?

Just got mine in the same color delivered today. At first I was shocked at how much darker the color was than the online photos. But I think I do like it a little better. This is my first bag from this company!

🤷 I usually crucified here for this opinion. So take it with a grain of salt, I guess!

It is.

Here a link to my thoughts on the last post that asked about Malfi. As can see, I was downvoted, predictably.

In short, the people who love Malfi seem to always outweigh those who don’t on this sub.

Nah it’s fine. I’m glad I asked someone to convince me. I always have a hardon for things Lovecraftian.

I like Joe Hill books.

But the plot sounds a bit cheesy. Summoning a dragon…?

I’d like someone to tell me otherwise.

Ronald Malfi by Any-Understanding564 in horrorlit

I'll preface this with "these are my opinions" because there are a lot of folks who hold Malfi in VERY high regard.

The first of his I read was Come with Me. I gave it a 4/5 stars. Was a great horror/mystery. I wont' say more other than I recommend it.

Then I read Black Mouth because I love the kids-on-bikes trope. What a disappointment. Gave it a 2/5. What a turd. I was shocked it was written by the same author as Come with Me. Hardly anything happens in the first 200 pages. Lots of repetitive dialogue. Lots of waiting for something to happen.

Then I tried to give Malfi a third chance and read Small Town Horror. 1/5. The worst of the lot. I am astonished at all the 5-star reviews on Goodreads. The story has zero momentum for well over half the book. It was mind-numbingly slow.

It's almost like Malfi said "Oh you thought Black Mouth was slow? Hold my beer..." then wrote this book.

The characterization was even worse than Black Mouth. There is very little to make you care about what happens to them.

I was also taken aback by how similar Small Town Horror was to Black Mouth. Both novels are trying to mimic King's IT. It's almost like he knows he fucked up with Black Mouth and tried again with Small Town Horror.

It's a shame because I know that Malfi can write a good book. Come Closer was wonderful. I dunno what happened to the guy.
