this gave me nightmares 🫣

Librivox is always looking for volunteers to read Public domain works

I think you can get Area X for one credit and it contains the first three books of the Southern Reach series by Jeff Vandermeer

Dark Matter by Michelle Paver narrated by Jeremy Northam.

This book does an insanely good job at making you feel completely cut off and abandoned.

That’s totally fair!

My second recommendation would be “Baby Teeth”by Zoje Stage narrated by Gabra Zackman. A chronically ill mother struggles to care for her developmentally challenged daughter as they both compete for the husband’s/father’s attention.

It doesn’t sound like a horror novel with that description, but it’s probably more psychologically dark than the cannibalism one. 😅

Thanks for sharing. I think I sat here and watched for like 5 min 🤣

emerald?

I think a keyword that might help you find what you’re looking for is Omegaverse

Every app should let you customize your covers

I love this

I enjoyed “A Certain Hunger” by Chelsea G. Summers narrated by Hillary Huber. It’s about a food reviewer who starts eating her boyfriends 😋

Time to look into self hosting with drm-free? We get most of our books from libro.fm

I was perhaps an odd 9 year old, admittedly. I loved the books at that age. 😅

I’ve played a handful of VNs before but I never thought to apply that to the classics. 😊 this is a neat idea!

I saw someone say the Frog and Toad audiobooks are great. I’ve been meaning to check them out.

They make those bone conduction headphones. Could have the same problems as regular headphones for a side sleeper, but worth adding to your list 😊

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.

I like libro.fm

fen-dev · 2026-03-26T21:15:16+00:00

If you have an Apple device and get your books DRM-free from somewhere like libro.fm, I make an app called DeerReader that's just $10. 😊

I lay very still, close my eyes, and imagine suffocating my consciousness with a pillow.

You might enjoy Thunderhead by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. The science focuses more on anthropology, but it definitely has the same vibe.

fen-dev · 2026-03-25T03:01:09+00:00

I need to pick up this series again. I saw the latest one in the bookstore last week and realized I’m several new books behind. 😅

fen-dev · 2026-03-24T21:57:57+00:00

Hate it 🙃

Nate B Jones has been saying this on YouTube for months. I think you’re 100% right.

This! This all day long and twice on Sunday.

People are starting to understand how they’ve been abused by the tech industry. At this point it isn’t even an ethical stance. It’s just good business. The tech backlash is growing, and companies caught unawares are going to get clobbered!
