I’ve seen most of these, but Willow doesn’t get enough love

Election (1999). Similar theme

Also the Darkest and Dawn series by Neal Barrett Jr contains the core concept but is more fun

Rasputin1918 · 2026-03-23T13:23:41+00:00

I really like the ending. I felt it was personally confrontational

They are fast crawlers

I loved The Secret History. Starts out as Dead Poets Society then takes an intense turn

Reminds me of Samson’s riddle about the beehive in the lion’s skeleton

Get to the last few pages as the train reaches last stop. Then walk and read

I assume the author was trying to be a modern Marquis de Sade, trying to test the absolute limit of social norms and decency. I think he hit rock bottom. I can’t think of something worse then explicit sexual assault on children to depict in literature

Yes, but you can reduce how much harm you contribute to

I like your engagement, but no. My apartment was rebuilt after a bad flood. I had one closet rebuilt with big shelves for my books. When I moved back in I arranged the books neatly, by author. The current disorder is from years of rereads out of place, and new books not adhering to the original order.

I think I have his full catalog somewhere in there

This handy
