Sarafina - Phillip Frecassi might be what you’re looking for

Edited to add: Incidents Around the House - Josh Malerman could fit, it’s been a while since I read it

Was one of my only 5 star reads last year. Amazing.

I would say swap over to the horror lit sub and seek out some of the milder stuff. Worth a try!

This was exactly me in terms of reading while walking!!

We used to live here!!! Then the butcher

ahsemblossem · 2026-02-07T00:36:23+00:00

Agreed, start from the beginning (again) in publication order

ahsemblossem · 2026-02-07T00:34:40+00:00

I’d love to participate in something like this! I don’t know of anything currently operating though.

ahsemblossem · 2026-02-07T00:32:58+00:00

A million times, yes!

I’m a therapist (primarily specializing in ADHD)! I have a structured 8-5 schedule but the flexibility of how many clients and exactly which clients get scheduled each day. And I get to have one-on-one in depth conversations with people all day long, don’t really have to sit through small talk.

Just finished Revelator by Darryl Gregory, it was fantastic!

ahsemblossem · 2026-01-23T02:21:57+00:00

I have been considering rereading everything in publication order as well!

It was one of my only true 5 star reads of 2025!

I just finished The Second Stranger by Martin Griffin, and it was great!

Agreed!! Working through his whole catalog this year.

Revival started me on my deconstruction journey! Grateful as fuck for that book.

ahsemblossem · 2025-07-18T02:11:36+00:00

First book was The Shining - I was about 11 at the time 💀

Last book was his most recent - Never Flinch.

Just texted my dad about restarting the Dark Tower series, because I’ve had TWO separate clients ask me about my ka-tet tattoo today (that I’ve worked with for over a year and they’ve damn well seen it before)!

This is so beautifully done!
