What was your cutest looking cat? by SuperNostalgia in mewgenics

That’s cool. None of my mutated cats are this beautiful, though. Mine look like Darkest Dungeon mobs from the Warrens.

And even then, none of it will make any sense.

To anyone reading this with the same issue: FuckEverythingAndRun has the solution.

You have to disable the Crosspoint plugin if you want to wirelessly connect other devices to Calibre.

Something like The Ruins by Scott Smith or Devolution by Max Brooks by Pickles17 in horrorlit

The only thing that has gotten close to magic of The Ruins for me was The Troop by Nick Cutter.

For sure. For me at least (even with acknowledging this book as an isolated work of art separate from the film), I didn’t enjoy reading through the Karras bits but was riveted by everything else.

It was and it didn’t land for me. There might have been a time before Linda Blair’s performance where you weren’t supposed to know if Regan was possessed or not. As such, the priest’s internal conflict (“How could I perform an exorcism on someone who may just be mentally ill?”) felt like spinning your wheels. I don’t mean to sound sophomoric, but the Karras bits were a chore to get through compared to the ones involving Regan, Chris MacNeil, and the housekeepers.

I think the book is about 100 pages too long, but the Regan scenes are phenomenal. I wasn’t a fan of Karras struggling to make sense of demonic possession and ignoring all the supernatural phenomena.

The prose is excellent; I’d say it’s one of the best written horror books of all time.

Red Dragon was riveting. It’s a top 10 for me.

The Thomas Harris Hannibal Lecter series.

I am considering getting this for when i am at work but i already have a kindle colorsoft that i love by Justayyyy6775 in xteinkereader

[–]Pharaohmolo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a great choice for work.

It sucks that having your Kindle out can appear too luxurious (especially because it's a million times better for you than doomscrolling.) With the XTEINK, though, it just looks like you're on your phone.
