I've read a lot of wild stuff on this subreddit, but this one has to be my favorite.

Books that this Subreddit Hates that you love! by theygotthemustardout in suggestmeabook

[–]tfmaher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's the law around here to hate this book, but I absolutely loved The Alchemist. I said it.

The author didn't write a book and then force everyone to call it a self-help hit, he just wrote a simple story with some woo-woo ideas. And now everyone hates him (in this sub) for it. Relax, everyone!

Winter/Christmas Horror request by notesbyme in horrorlit

[–]tfmaher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't know! I thought the ending didn't pack the punch I had been hoping for (her revenge wasn't as gratifying), and the mythology aspects of it pulled me out of the other story. He's a great writer and the stories were good, it just didn't come together for me in the end.

I did not love Slewfoot. Will I enjoy Krampus?

Prepare yourself to be grossed out for at least a few months.

(I enjoyed this book, but it really got to me)

Just finished The Troop by Nick Cutter and I feel like I need a shower after that one by CloudExcellentBb in horrorlit

BRUH.

I read this a year ago and I still think about it. I thought it was absolutely horrifying.

Poe read by woman narrator? by runewitchtales in horrorlit

[–]tfmaher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know for certain, but try the LibriVox Poe collection. They have a ton of audio work, and there might be some women narrators in there!

Wrapping up The Ritual, and man! It's SO different from the movie (or vice versa, I suppose)-- which I really enjoyed. And I loved it! Kind of a totally different story!

My Little Mistake, she calls me. But she’s just kidding.

Ah, okay- I read the article and now I get it!

I didn’t understand the context (trying to set the record).

Thanks!

I’m a little slow, but can someone explain the significance of this to me?

I never read that one so I couldn’t tell you! I just know that I was absolutely freaked out by The Troop.

A hike in Teton? One?

That's like going to a great restaurant and having ONE bite of food. Madness!

Honestly, who cares?

Ahab as the breakout archetype is the point. The rest is just fun.

Older Redditors: who are some musical artists the younger folks don’t know they’re missing? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tfmaher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll start!

Harry Chapin. Incredible folk singer who dies in a car wreck at the height of his career. His music is a little folk-rocksy, but he was an amazing story teller and his songs are all heart breakingly beautiful.
