…truckles?

Good book (and pretty decent show adaptation) The Terror provides a supernatural explanation… that also includes cannibalism

I just watched the documentary (joking, mostly) Purple Rain again a couple weeks ago and the Kid (Prince’s character) is definitely abusive to his love interest. He plays cruel pranks on her, gaslights her, and publicly humiliates her. But it’s all okay because he’s Prince and they’re probably in love.

I know it’s ludicrous to need to ask for permission. I’m sure they won’t get it.

In my opinion, no. The allies would have started dropping atomic weapons on civilian German cities just like they did to Japan. But I think it certainly would have lasted longer.

I can’t even imagine what was going through that truck drivers head when he found that baby

Don’t talk shit about goblins. Simple as that.

Reminds me of all of those “I paid off my student loans by the time I graduated” (by just having rich parents and living with them and spending their money

Super cool!

I’d like to recommend Laird Barron who mostly writes horror stories and novels. I’ve read his short story collection “The Beautiful Thing That Awaits us All” and there are some really good ones in there (along with some mediocre of course). And his novel The Croning is my favorite horror novel in recent memory. I felt like it could be adapted well into a movie, too.

Another great (very scary imo) novel is Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons. Might be my top horror novel.

Also, I’d like to second someone else’s suggestion for Between Two Fires.

I had a job that felt like this sometimes, as a contractor for a federal gov’t agency, and I hated it. Be careful what you wish for…
