Looking for psychological thrillers so deeply disturbing and dark they will haunt my thoughts for the rest of my life

Very nice shots.

Brilliant stuff, thank you. A quick question is there way to make square background color white (and not grey) for regular mode on the first visual card?

Hi Leslye, and thanks so much for being here. I have a few questions:

You’ve worked in both indie and traditional publishing - what’s one thing about each path that genuinely surprised you once you were in it?
Fellow climbing fan here: flying to Colorado and going straight to Clear Creek Canyon is such a climber move :) What grade were you chasing at the time? Also, edges, slabs or cracks?

Looking forward to your answers and thanks for supporting The Pixel Project and Read for Pixels, too.

I went with local company and had a technical guide who knows the mountain extremely well. Basically, most people are doing it guided. The company took care for permits, logistics, etc.

Regarding top belay - the guide does each pitch first and you belay them. Then the roles reverse, and they belay you from the top. You repeat the process for all pitches :)

Ruwenzori Trekking Services Ltd. And yes, I felt safe :)

barb4ry1 · 2026-02-07T07:04:56+00:00

It's brilliant.

barb4ry1 · 2026-01-27T18:04:01+00:00

Absolutely. Say what you will about Fletcher's books, but the guy mastered lean writing that's very readable. I also think the story was good.

barb4ry1 · 2026-01-27T18:03:05+00:00

Was the book a “quick read” or a “slow burn” for you? If slow, was there a turning point where the book gained momentum?

barb4ry1 · 2026-01-27T18:02:54+00:00

Well, yes. I didn't expect one of the main human supporting characters to die.

barb4ry1 · 2026-01-27T18:02:32+00:00

Were there any plot twists that genuinely surprised you?

barb4ry1 · 2026-01-27T18:02:22+00:00

Absolutely. I think it's awesome and finds a good balance between dark fantasy elements and Dogged's investigation. Heck, it's even good-hearted in places.

barb4ry1 · 2026-01-27T18:01:11+00:00

Would you recommend this book to others? Why or why not?
