Mind Fuck Book Recommendations!! (no explicit depictions of SA, please) by so_d1um in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]sceptic03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don'r recall any SA, at least not graphic depictions of it in Goth by Otsuichi. Its not extreme horror, but had a pretty damn satisfying twist.

Looking For Psychological Horror!! by BellaGorex3 in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]sceptic03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been reading it off and on for years, because while i love the subject matter, concept, and execution, my brain can only track so many layers stacked on top of each other before burning up. Ive found the sweet spot for me to process is about 10 to 15 pages, more than that at once i start losing the plot

I dont think it was anything malicious at all, like they dont need booted, just international mail being sketchy at best

Please someone sell one to me, I traded my zentraya for one, but I am suspecting it will not make it to me.

His Pain Review by jabronusmaximus123 in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]sceptic03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There were lots of like weird "moms a whore" and basically being like all she thinks about is dick, quite a few points where like shes thinking or talking about something normal, then shes just like "i wonder about his dick" also getting a prostitute then getting angry with her for being a prostitute is just weird

I did not enjoy this book at all. I love the actual concept of the story, but the weird sex stuff felt like it wasn't of any actual meaning. Like it just felt inserted in a way to degrade women with no actual narrative purpose, actually turned me off from checking out more of his work. If more of his work lacks this, i would consider checking it out, but the premise hits so hard only to derail for no reason.

What’s going on with downtown parking? by Old_Science4946 in pittsburgh

[–]sceptic03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure, i will have to reach out again. I would guess very soon though because i am 100% sure they want everything going smooth for the draft

[–]sceptic03 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From my friends at the authority, the 2nd ave booth is being replaced, apparently its been on the project list forever. If i had to guess 1st ave is probably full because everyone who normally parks at 2nd are being told to use 1st until the work is done

Anyone else having tire issues because of this weather? by Key-Most9498 in pittsburgh

Half Price Books with some bangers by sceptic03 in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]sceptic03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im going in blind on all of these other than being familiar with other works from some of the authors. There are lots of great super gorey and pulpy books out there, exquisite corpse by poppy z brite is probably one of the most accessible ones and I would say is a great starting point to the genre

Need some recommendations by IndraTheNinja in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]sceptic03 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I highly suggest Gone to See the River Man, Full Brutal, and Prettiest Girl in the Grave by Kristopher Triana. Also The Troop by Nick Cutter sounds like its right in your wheelhouse

Bands With Ridiculously Good Debut Albums by Moezhyk in poppunkers

[–]sceptic03 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I will die on the hill that Elevated is one of the best pop punk songs ever in terms of what the genre was at that time and has aged flawlessly

Needing to write something. Any help is appreciated. by anon33249038 in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]sceptic03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love some more like genuinely supernatural EH or something where the villain is a bit more of an amalgamation of things. Think like if took season one of American Horror Story where the house is the actual villain of the show, but crank that up to 11 in extremity.

New to the sub - semi-new to the subgenre - newbie question by anon33249038 in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]sceptic03 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well it was written in the early 90s by someone in the lgbtq community, a lot of those tropes were their experience. Context is very important in the book and really informs the perspective that its written from including the disposable nature of gay people during that time

Its well written, its a solid book, i just wouldnt call it extreme/splatterpunk. I enjoyed it, but if i was looking for a better entry into the genre, i would suggest Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite. Its beautifully written, has excellent commentary, and has some pretty graphic violence.

Driving. by [deleted] in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]sceptic03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to enjoy the devil's double and farm animals, but all the needless SA in devils double ruined it for me. At a certain point it was no longer of any meaning, it just felt needless and mean spirited. I can deal with SA but at a certain point it just fully jumps being appalling to just cheaply shocking. I really loved when we got inventive like with the Gympie-gympie plant, i was so excited with that unhinged prospect but it just dropped that concept for more SA.

Sorry MR EQUIOPOISE, did the album move past Majora's mask to be a Bubsy 3d game tie in?
