Have you ever read Jeremy Robert Johnson's The Loop? If you liked Exordia it seems that novel might be up your alley

Never even heard of it!

Goodreads summary looks like it has potential? (Even if the 'X meets Y!' marketing makes me cringe). Depends a lot on just how YA it is, I suppose?

My book haul....

You guessed it……another book haul for me today. Now, I was able to browse the bargain section while I was at my local bookstore and that’s where I picked up many of the books off this list. That would explain why I was able to get so many of the books that I got today……because many of the books were priced much cheaper than the actual listing price.

never thought i would actually finish jeremy robert johnson's entropy in bloom, but here i am lol.

warning: truyện 18+, không dành cho trẻ nhỏ.

tôi tình cờ mò được collection này khi đang desperately tìm cách viết đoạn kết cho con fic hoa, ngọc hà. thứ tôi tìm kiếm lúc bấy giờ là một (hoặc một vài) truyện ngắn giả tưởng có yếu tố kí sinh trùng, và bao gồm những mô tả chi tiết. tuyển tập của jrj được giới thiệu trong kha khá bài blog lẫn thread mà tôi lướt qua, nên tôi quyết định đọc thử.

and uhm, it's just not for me.

thực lòng mà nói, cách jrj mô tả yếu tố gore khá tốt. khá nhiều hình ảnh trong truyện của ổng đã stuck lại trong não tôi (đm con when susurrus stirs luôn kinh tởm vc, mà tđn còn được dựng thành phim cơ??) và đúng là những truyện có tình tiết liên quan đến kí sinh trùng là một điểm sáng.

cái hay của jrj là nhân vật của ổng không bao giờ đơn giản. đám cuồng tín, nghiện ma tóe, nghiện sex, cultist, straight edge, alpha male - nói chung là các thể loại tâm thần vặn vẹo - qua ngòi bút của jrj lại trở nên thuyết phục và phần nào đó đáng cảm thông. và những yếu tố kinh dị (kinh tởm) hay siêu nhiên cuối cùng cũng chỉ để tô đậm mảng tâm lí của con người.

nhưng after all, đó là cũng là điểm khiến tôi không thể nào enjoy được thế giới trong những câu chuyện mà jrj dựng nên: i can't, for the love of my life, relate with a world of endless violence và endless pain. the twistedness of this collection, thus, has ultimately become shallow, pointless, and implausible in my eyes.

thật lòng hơi khó giải thích. cái sự twisted trong entropy in bloom không giống với sự twisted đã từng ám ảnh những giấc mơ tôi trong we have always lived in the castle của shirley jackson. sure, tôi có thể cảm thấy muốn lộn mửa với những mô tả ở một số phân đoạn trong when susurrus stirs hay cathedral mother, nhưng khi tôi buông sách xuống, chúng không khiến tôi phải suy nghĩ. với tôi chúng đơn giản là gory, chứ không haunting.

có lẽ tuyển tập này sẽ hợp với người khác. những người nhìn thế giới tăm tối hơn tôi, chẳng hạn.

Me calling my favorite writer to starts uploading fics of my celebrity crush

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON | 2015:

"When Tony Stark and Bruce Banner try to jump-start a dormant peacekeeping program called Ultron, things go horribly wrong and it's up to Earth's mightiest heroes to stop the villainous Ultron from enacting his terrible plan." - IMDb description.

My fantasy is which cast will be well suited for the role of the main characters of Silent Hill 4: The Room.

Even despite issues concerning Internet Archive, What's New to Netflix has managed to persevere and bring you all of the dirt on the new titles coming in October 2024!

Then we tag along with Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin as they head across country evading the FBI and the mob in Midnight Run from 1988. Next, Aaron Pierre and AnnaSophia Robb have to deal with a town full of corrupt cops led by Don Johnson in Rebel Ridge, directed by Jeremy Saulnier, from 2024. And finally, Johnny Depp goes full creep as Whitey Bulger in the film based on a true story, Black Mass from 2015.

All of this plus we spend a lot of time talking about the recent Halloween franchise trilogy—so much so that everything else seems like a blur, but it's the season for that type of thing, so why would anyone complain?

Monthly Reading Summary – November 2023

[diracsea]

Here’s to the next ten years and whatever madness lies ahead.

Jeremy Robert Johnson, Acknowledgements from Entropy in Bloom

[hotvintagepoll]

Congrats to the ultimate winner of the Hot & Vintage Movie Men Tournament, Mr. Toshiro Mifune! May he live happily and well where the sun always shines, enjoying the glories of a battle hard fought.

A loving farewell to all of our previous contestants, who are now banished to the shadow realm and all its dark joys and whispered horrors—I hear there's a picnic on the village green today. If you want to remember the fallen heroes, you can find them all beneath the cut.

What happens next? I'll be taking a break of two weeks to rest from this and prep for the Hot & Vintage Ladies Tournament. I'll still be around but only minimally, posting a few last odes to the hot men before transitioning into a little early ladies content, just like I did with this last tournament. The submission form for the Hot & Vintage Ladies tournament will remain up for one more week (closing February 21st), so get your submissions in for that asap! Once the form closes, there will be one more week of break. The first round of the Hot & Vintage Ladies Tournament will be posted on February 29th, as Leap Year Day seems like a fitting allusion to leaping into these ladies' arms.

Thanks for being here! Enjoy the two weeks off, and send me some great propaganda.
