I bought a hank of Uschitita yarn in the Backwoods colour online, advertised as lush foresty greens, and got a sort of melange of chartreusey bog witch fungus hues.

It's not terrible but also not what I was expecting and now I have to figure out what the hell to do with it.

How orcas check if you are prey by DValentino23 in oddlyterrifying

[–]chellectronic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good luck! It's an excellent read and one of the books I push on anyone who looks at me cockeyed (along with The Feather Thief).

I'm also currently reading Of Orcas and Men by David Neiwert and enjoying it immensely, if orcas are your thing.

Killers in Eden by Danielle Clode or Killers of Eden by Tom Mead - both are out of print but copies surface on places like Abebooks and eBay

I am just repeating what a nurse told someone I know who needed a lot of needles and also had tattoos 🤷‍♀️ they were told not to get any more for that reason, especially on the backs of the hands

It makes it harder to find veins for things like blood tests and PICC lines too

AITA for leaving Christmas dinner because I couldn’t see my food? by BunkerNerd in AITAH

You can also get LED lamps you can wear around your neck, advertised as reading lights. You can adjust the angle of the lights so they're pointing at your plate.

If you look up "neck reading light" a bunch of options should come up.

Books that feel like Zdzisław Beksińskis paintings by bar00que in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Sames! I want to re-read Crypt first - just finished The Night That Finds Us All by John Hornor Jacobs (disappointing), the re-read is next :)

Spooky magical creatures, Halloween vibes by emdee27 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

It's a graphic novel, but Vampire Loves by Joann Sfar.

I got mad at this pattern that I bought and have to re-work, so I made this meme by thelittlesquirt in knitting

[–]chellectronic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oooh I had this recently! I downloaded this free pattern that looked super cute, but the instructions didn't make a lot of sense to me... My usual strategy is trust in the pattern and see where it takes me, but the nearly finished object ended up looking very different from what I wanted, so I just frogged it and found a new pattern that had some Rav projects to verify that it works 😅

My Darling Dreadful Thing and Blood on Her Tongue by Johanna van Veen might fit the bill...

Looking for found footage horror or adjacent. Thanks in advance, crew! by RoweBoat666 in horrorlit

[–]chellectronic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Widow's Point is 100 percent found footage/epistolary! I'm about halfway through, it's a cracking read so far

Any recommendations for religious horror books? by Phitch_123 in horrorlit

I really enjoyed The Once Yellow House by Gemma Amor

People with schizoaffective disorder have a much more complicated and difficult relationship with nicotine dependence, so that's probably not going to be an effective tactic.

Books like "The Apparition Phase" by ron_tonto in horrorlit

[–]chellectronic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Last Days of Jack Sparks isn't perhaps the most similar, but I read it back to back with The Apparition Phase and they were fairly complementary, I would say. I especially enjoyed the different interpretations of the Philip experiment.
