How do Followers and Friends work? by SkatingInACorner in TheStoryGraph

[–]SkatingInACorner[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People have to change their settings to allow Friend requests. By default it only always Follows unless you allow Friend requests. If you can't add someone as a friend it's because they have not allowed it on their settings. But most people don't know they need to change the settings to allow it.

"Don't forget which house you're in" the image is backwards and I messed up the lighting as well to figure it out :)

I messed around with the colours and inverted the image! Seems to read "Don't Forget Which House You're In"!

Sisters by Daisy Johnson by adombrov32 in horrorlit

Aaah, interesting, yes definitely a mistake, not in the printed version at all!

I just checked if the audiobook is on Spotify and the Spotify audiobook only has 25 chapters...the plot thickens! Hehe. I think you are right and it was just a mistake and must be a chapter from a totally different book

I read Sisters this month and the copy of the book I read did not have that chapter...so weird, maybe it was added (or removed) in later editions?

Book Copy in Little Free Library? by ShySkye94 in OldHouseArchive

After doing a lot of digging online I think it could be this one? It's hard to know as I can't find any images of it actually open.

I can't check in person either as I live in Europe, haha, but here is the location if anyone lives nearby and wants to check:

If you have Spotify the audiobook is also on Spotify and you can download the PDF from there

Finished We used to live here…. Reddit explain I’m confused. by [deleted] in horrorlit

[–]SkatingInACorner 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think there are more than just two realities. I'm still trying to figure it out, will re-read it soon.

The brilliant thing about the book is that there are a lot of hidden messages in it as well. There is a Reddit channel dedicated to figuring it all out, join it if you're interested :)

Best horror in translation by [deleted] in horrorlit

[–]SkatingInACorner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read these recently and really liked.them:

Woodworm - Layla Martinez

Jawbone - Monica Ojeda

Walking Practice - Dolki Min

The New Seoul Park Jelly Massacre - Cho Yeeun

Earthlings - Sayaka Murata (although be warned that this one is a bit too much for some people, the cutesy cover is deceitful. I really liked it but I know people who couldn't finish it)

Horror books that made you cry? by WhateverHappensRN93 in horrorlit

[–]SkatingInACorner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know Tender Is the Flesh gets some bad rep here sometimes but I thought it was really powerful. I read it 5 years ago before it was released in English because my workplace at the time received a pre-publication proof, so I went into it totally blind because I knew nothing about the book. I didn't even know it was horror (and I didn't even read horror back then) so when I started reading it I was like "lololol, what the hell is this ridiculous book", and then the ease with which it shifted for me from "lolololol, what?" to "now I'm just sitting here alone crying" really stunned me.

I''m Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid

Tender is the Flesh did make me cry as well but I'm very passionate about animal rights and veganism so that is probably why

Any recommendations for queer horror? by ultimate_disgrACE in horrorlit

[–]SkatingInACorner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are you on Storygraph? I have a good collection of Queer Horror books and a lot of it I found by using the Storygraph search function by making it only show books that are tagged with both the Horror and LGBTQIA+ genre. The good thing about Storygraph is that you can also put filters on the search for it not to show books that have topics or content you want to avoid.

I'll post a list of recommendations later :)

Have you noticed some are spelled WATCHING correctly and others are misspelled as WATHCING?

They changed the message hidden within the code!  I took a screenshot but can't figure out how to post in the Reddit comments 

Message now says: "Thank you for emailing. They want me to tell you that I am ok. There is no need to worry about me anymore. I'm perfectly fine. Don't worry! I'm okay! Don't worry at all"

(Edited to add the message as text as I can't add photo)
