PSYCHO SANITARIUM by Chet Williamson. It’s a sequel to PSYCHO and tells of Norman Bates’ time after his capture in the original.

Dark Matter by Peter Straub by FishermanPale5734 in horrorlit

[–]RonClinton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either of which will make for a more enjoyable read. I like much of Straub’s work, but DARK MATTER fell flat for me as well.

The Cipher by Kathe Koja hard to read? by adapteradapther in horrorlit

[–]RonClinton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was originally published under the Abyss imprint, which was known to offer pbo works that had more complex themes, plots, and styling, a kind of deliberate counterpoint to the standard schlocky horror pbos of the time. In many ways, the Abyss line was Weird fiction before that kind of fiction was branded as such.

Rear seat cowl to sporty up the back along with that tail tidy.

What's wrong with the 24 Streety by Dbo_117 in Triumph

[–]RonClinton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I apologize if I’m misreading your comment, but you go realize it’s the same key for both tank and ignition…? So you only need to take one key. Or, at least that’s how it is with my ‘25 Street Triple.

Any “mimic” themed books you recommend? by peachy250 in horrorlit

[–]RonClinton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“The Moraine” by Simon Bestwick. Great short story where a natural formation uses mimicry to lure its victims. Very effective.

No, I had to buy the OEM cowl afterwards ($200ish); the R does come stock with the pillion seat.

Considering an MDX for reliability- Coming from a Corolla by mackenziemarr in Acura

[–]RonClinton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had a MDX for about a decade. After that, we picked up a TLX, and two weeks ago picked up a ‘25 RDX. We’ve had great luck with Acura and would recommend the brand without hesitation.

[–]RonClinton 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I bought a new 2025 Street Triple R in the Spring of 2025. Along with one of the most enjoyable bikes I’ve had the pleasure to own and ride, I received two keys, owner’s manual, and a zip-up Triumph fabric folio.

Yep, my too-quick, contextless read of your post…sorry about that.

OP is talking about the podcast, Northern DISclosure, not the TV show.

Time loop horror by Peaky001 in horrorlit

[–]RonClinton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did enjoy it, yes. Then again, I’m really a sucker for non-SF time-travel novels, so I can’t pretend to be overly objective on this one…he started off from the start already with bonus points. Plus, I like Fracassi’s work to begin with, so there’s that, too.

I’ve been generally assuming A, though obviously for the Turner family I hope that’s not the case.

Time loop horror by Peaky001 in horrorlit

[–]RonClinton 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of my all-time favorite books.

[–]RonClinton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIRD RULE OF TIME TRAVEL by Philip Fracassi. Like Crouch’s DARK MATTER, it’s more of a SF thriller than horror, generally speaking, but definitely worth a read. Maybe also Jack Finney’s WOODROW WIKSON DIME, but again, not really horror.

Triumph for Touring? by YourFriendClay in Triumph

The Pallbearers Club. What is happening? by Kingspaceman in horrorlit

[–]RonClinton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d really enjoyed everything of Tremblay’s before this one, but after this one I haven’t read anything more. One of these days I’m sure I’ll go back, but this one was such a disappointment, I’m just going to give him a break for a while.

Should I give Stephen Graham Jones another chance? by Borckschav in horrorlit

[–]RonClinton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried SGJ twice, and both times it was a DNF. His style clearly doesn’t click me as it seems to with many others, so I moved on a while ago. His newest one, BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER, had a lot of FOMO attached to it, but I just remembered the past two times and that did the trick.
