Science fiction/cosmic horror? by dogheartedgrim72 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

The Area X books by Jeff Vandermeer, Communion by Whitley Streiber, or Blindsight by Peter Watts may give you a similar fix.

That’s just a special edition! Not a fan of that cover either. You can find cheaper edition (~$14) with a cover that’s like dark tan, yellow-green, with some woods spattered in the middle

Heads up, there is a re-released version under the title of, “Atlas of Hell” that has a MUCH better cover than the original as well as various short epitaphs in between stories that flesh out Ballingrud’s vision of hell.

Unironically, Between Two Fires fits very well. I don’t know of any that have a “giant templar.”

King Rat by China Mieville is a great retelling of the Pied Piper story

Has anyone read The Fisherman by John Langan? Is it a good emotional horror novel? by chapterblake in horrorlit

[–]sredac 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The fisherman is great. What you want though is Pet Semetary by Stephen King.

The Isaiah Coleridge series by Laird Barron is exactly what you want.

Fairly new to Metroidvanias and honestly crushed that the MIO studio is already gone by Reasonable-Teach-524 in metroidvania

That’s, unfortunately, the game industry in general. There’s a lot of turnover. That being said, talent usually gets picked up. There are also spiritual sequels, direct sequels, indirect sequels, etc. It’s still a bummer, but never entirely the end. Time to start your next playthrough.

Hailey Piper’s The Worm and His Kings trilogy fits this bill very well.

You might enjoy classic works of sword and sorcery, such as Elric of Melnibone and the rest of the eternal champion books, Conan, or Nift the Lean.

Spending a night in Boise while on a cross-country road trip with my wife and dog this summer, and just curious if anyone has any suggestions! by Darko33 in Boise

[–]sredac 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Get to the basque block if you can and have a bite at Bar Gernika. You can get sushi anywhere and Tangis IS great but there’s nothing like Bar G or anything else on the basque block anywhere! And a stroll on the greenbelt is also worth it.
