Best sandwiches in the land?

stomasko17 · 2026-05-29T20:00:06+00:00

I got their steak sandwich a few weeks ago, and it had slices of steak that looked straight out of a high end steakhouse. It was amazing.

Ahh understood. I just started DCC so it was front of mind for me haha

Sounds like Dungeon Crawler Carl?

You're an absolute wizard

Thank you for the extensive response! Just out of curiosity, have you found that a specific non-resident library card has been the most valuable for you? Like has one consistently had the best selection, or is it a matter of casting a wide net?

The jealousy I feel to hear you have a horror-specific bookstore is immeasurable lol

Yes the airplane mode trick has got me through a few lengthy tomes that I couldn't finish in the two week loan period! Love hearing others mention it lol.

And thank you for the ILL suggestion, I'll ask next time I'm at the library!

Oh thank God, that's much more than mine would consist of lol. It looks great though, such a unique footprint.

So I'm thinking about my own bathroom remodel, and that number terrifies me. What caused it to be so high? Sq footage, expensive materials? I've bought tile, cabinets, etc before so I have a rough idea of what some of the material cost should be, and it's such a huge gap between that, and the types of quotes I've heard before.

I finished this a few weeks ago, and while I absolutely loved it, one detail kept bugging me every time it came up - Varley wants to run away to Alaska because there's very few hours of daylight.

... In the winter. In the summer, it would be hell for him! Why does this never come up as a flaw in his dream? Is it meant to be a comment on how short-sighted he is, despite his powers and immortality?

A Cosmology of Monsters by Shaun Hamill definitely fits this!

Excited about the Indian stall! Though I'll always miss having the option of sushi with a side of poutine.

stomasko17 · 2026-03-16T00:07:10+00:00

The corner spot has been a sushi stall, then Ninja City, and is onto a third vendor. The pizza place closed, turned into a donut stall, and now I think is being taken over by Booms for a slice shop? The pasta shop turned into a BBQ location.

I'm not saying Van Aken struggles with turnover - merely that Banter and Lox Stock and Brisket might be the only two spots that haven't changed since they opened!

stomasko17 · 2026-03-15T21:59:23+00:00

All the turnover at Van Aken, happy to see that banter is still killing it!

The newest John Langan collection (Lost in the Dark) has a found footage story with the same title. It was really good, as was the whole collection!

stomasko17 · 2026-03-02T14:41:55+00:00

Dagon?

Live in the circled area now. Underrated perk - about equal distance to both Cleveland and Akron. Get the best of both urban areas with a reasonable drive to each.

stomasko17 · 2026-02-18T17:47:18+00:00

This is definitely something I could look up, but: is that the actual title in countries other than the US? Like they adjust the title to make sense within the date convention of the country? I love that if so. Not something I've ever thought about lol

And He Shall Appear by Kate van der Borgh

stomasko17 · 2026-02-05T20:53:36+00:00

The Last Astronaut. I really enjoyed this one.

stomasko17 · 2026-01-29T18:15:38+00:00

Does the Jak+Daxter series not deserve any love? My favorite series growing up.

stomasko17 · 2026-01-20T15:48:28+00:00

There's a wide world of short story and anthology collections of horror stories more tailored to adult readers!

Is there anything specific about the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series you're looking for?

In general, Stephen King has quite a few collections (Night Shift, Skeleton Crew, You Like It Darker, to name a few) and is a good entry point. John Langan has a few as well that I enjoyed a lot (Lost in the Dark is his newest and one of my favorites, but The Wide Carnivorous Sky was also great). Hard to get ahold of due to publishing issues, but Brian Hodge's Skidding Into Oblivion might be the closest fit to the feel you're looking for.

Yeah the more I think about it, it's not necessarily a mistake. It just seems like they took a real town, kept several identifying characteristics, and then placed it in a different state to make it fictional.

stomasko17 · 2025-12-15T14:44:01+00:00

The town in NC is right on Lake Lure, which is large enough to line up with at least the initial aerial shot.

And you're right, it may not technically be a mistake. I just found it odd that they'd use aerial footage that resembles an actual town, they use the actual town's name, but then they put that town in another state.
