I love Warhammer 40K.

This is total nonsense (complimentary).

Simmons is almost criminally good at openings.

*David Tennant voice* I don’t want to go!

“The Shrike granted me death without killing me.”

Truly the mind of Tanabe to be like, “you know what Innsmouth really needs? Some major Silent Hill vibes.”

I love Vlad.

Part Three (“Some things are beyond intellect, Paul.”)

The Shrike operating like a slasher rn is V Fun.

Part Two

Were people mad about this when it came out? I feel like people HAD to be mad at this when it came out (complimentary).

Oh this is VERY cute and clever. And the actually funny and charming cute/clever instead of the usual insisting upon oneself you get with other books that try this tone.

We are so back.

I soooooo wanna finish this tonight but I know if I do, I’ll be absolute toast all tomorrow.

Part Two: The MicMac Burying Ground.

(Two things. 1. I was absolutely wrong about Sai King going full Lovecraft in Revival. THIS is full Lovecraft and just packed to bursting with dread. But 2. I also am kinda loving how much Louis is a shit in this. The movies always paint him so woodenly, it’s nice to see the source material characterization is a lot more chippy and arrogant at times).

Boy, this just pops right the fuck off, huh?

I feel like this one is going to properly fuck me up. I might have to read something silly inbetween working through it.

The Command System: Terminus

State of Play: three.

Schar’s World.

It’s been interesting reading this so closely after Hyperion as they are getting more and more parallel narratively (and also because they were released like barely 3 years apart)
