Notice how its the only copy? All the others on that table have small stacks. It's like someone got it off the shelves deeper into the shop and then their nerve failed them.
Not a big book reader so can you explain?
Not the OP but I have read the book. It's very unique and the story is told in some pretty strange ways. Parts are written backwards, in code, in the margin of the pages, etc. I think it's a great experience and I'm glad to see it on that table. I've never read anything else like it.
OMG!!!!! I was friends with a girl (smalls) in the early 2000’s at tech school for the Air Force and every once in a while throughout the years when I’ve thought about her I’ve always wondered what this book was and tried to figure out a way to google it so I could get a copy. You have solved a twenty+ year life mystery for me, thank you so much!
Welp guess I might make an exception then lol
If you enjoyed the book, check out the album Haunted by Poe. Anyone with a functioning radio in the 90s may have heard Angry Johnny a time or ten but she's got some other good tracks too. Poe is the stage name of Anne Danielewski and, if the last name is familiar, that's because she's the House of Leaves author's sister.
So... Any Richard Bachman?
Am I the only one to have the sudden urge to put at least one Stephen King book in the display?
Put a book written under his pen name on there...
Don't put "it" there...
The Terror is marvelous. If you're thinking of buying Paul Tremblay's short story collection, don't. It's dire from start to finish, full of half-thought stories and stories that seem to have no point.
+1 for The Terror. That and Carrion Comfort are my two favourite Dan Simmons novels.
full of half-thought stories and stories that seem to have no point.
Ugh, so many short story collections are like that. It's such a nice surprise when can find a good author of short stories because I like them more than novels.
Nick Cutter is awesome, especially if you’re into body horror …. I highly recommend The Breach
Better or worse than The Troop?
I saw Nick Cutter and wanted to ask this as well. The Troop was such a fantastic book with vile description and really left an impression on me. Fuck you Shelley.
That was my first Cutter book and I did not expect to like it as much as I did.
Fuck Shelley, justice for Newton. 😭
What, no Дми́трий Глухо́вский?! Metro rules.
Yeah metro is good. My name is Artem so when I listened to the audio book it felt like I was reading a dream.
Fuuuuuck that dream! Lol the rats, shudder.
Not a good dream it still read as a nightmare lol
I bet!
I'm not seeing The Girl With All The Gifts there!
I've always preferred Geri's Game anyway
The Only Good Indians is a fun read.
I'm gonna have to read The Terror because the show was 🤌🏾
I was never a fan of King, but his son on the other hand!
Damn, his kid is a writer too?
He is! He goes under Joe Hill so people don't know, but I think he's great. The Heart Shaped Box was my first book with him and I found it a lot of fun! NOS4A2 is my overall favorite, but it's a long one, so I always recommend the shorter one first.
Joe and Owen both write
I just read I was a Teenage Slasher, which was super fun. Gonna look into The Terror now!
Stephen Graham Jones' The Only Good Indians was wonderful, and Augusta Bazterrica's Tender is the Flesh was dystopian nightmare fuel. Both absolutely excellent books.
