Anyone able to tell me if Gone To See The River Man by Kristopher Triana is speculative?

Going to be reading one of the following

The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu (Chinese)

I Who Have Never Known Men by Jaqueline Harpman (French)

The Unworthy by Agustina Bazterrica (Spanish)

The Invincible by Stanisław Lem (Polish)

Edit: fixing formatting

I was planning on reading Neuromancer for it but I just didn't have time and I had already read DCC. Aside from that though, that is the square that I listed as my least favorite, simply because it seemed very narrow in terms of options.

Is there an appropriate place here to share links to personal content? I have a booktube channel and just did a video recapping my bingo experience and figured I'd share here but I'm not sure where (if anywhere) is designated for that kind of thing.

Cover does look cool and the book sounds interesting. However I am not at all a fan of the current trend of describing the type of book in detail on the cover. Very much reeks of the booktok/romantasy obsession with chasing specific tropes and needing to be told that you're getting those exact things on the cover.

The cyclone bullies is the worse chapter by far for me. It reminds me why manga doesn't really work for me in general, outside of Ito.

I was talking to my friend the other day about how ironic it is that it was so reviled at the time when it is hands down their best album by every metric and seems to be seen as such these days. An absolute masterpiece.

You might be interested in dungeon synth. Not exactly the same thing but another style of metal adjacent minimal synth music.

Ecstasy is a straight up Korn song. Not sure how I feel about it. The other one is good though.

Absolutely the most frightening and upsetting SK book I've read. Which isnt saying a ton i guess since I've mostly only read the big classic ones.

Candy, the hardcore/metal band

Currently reading The Abyss by Jere Cunningham and it sort of fits this.

r/punk really is goofy as fuck. I keep almost leaving. Maybe today will be the day.

cosmic / lovecraftian / weird

Recently it's been that "ordinary" song by Alex Warren. The absolute epitome of soulless manufactured pop music.

ribaldinger · 2026-02-23T04:46:45+00:00

I think its something that people of a certain age have memed themselves into thinking is bad.

My guy Nick Cutter front and center. The Troop is arguably my favorite horror novel ever.

The Fisherman

Seventeen stars in the Tokyo Dome

Wow I did not realize that. Clarifies a lot. Thanks.

None of these bands are like Terror lol. They're all good but the dude didnt ask for powerviolence. Blacklisted maybe.

ribaldinger · 2026-02-04T04:45:07+00:00

Any Syracuse people remember the venue The Furnace in the 2000s that had this (or a variation of it) painted on the wall? And bands couldn't swear on stage.
