It is tense and scary on so many levels. It puts the deeply disturbing right in your line of sight while simultaneously making you dread the unseen.

And the tension is off the charts. There are so many scenes that leave me feeling like even the most mundane of things might turn sinister at any moment leaving my own imagination working against me.

As a normally methodical reader for poetry I weirdly tend to skip around until I finish them all. No rhyme, no reason— just like picking wild flowers in a field.

I just added a chameleon to my windup toy collection. I’m excited because it rolls its eyes when it walks.

I’m familiar with a lot of these but there are new to me ones you’ve suggested. I’ll check them out, thanks!

Yeah those lyrics are truly dark not just ominous.
I’m thinking something like Autopsy by Sandy Denny or What’s He Building by Waits or Lera Lynn’s Wolf Like Me

I had the weirdest reaction to this before I remembered I know the date of your birthday.
It was of an ominous shadow death hunting down groundhogs like Nosferatu’s shadow over the landscape.

I really enjoyed this book! I read it as part of my MFA and did a short analysis of the opening.

This. It is right there but feels like a discussion that is actively ignored.

There are just some books that you never want to leave and Piranesi was one of those for me.

Oh those “Ahh No” moments. I won’t even mention the last recipe that was a NO moment for me but I knew in the first bite. At least the meh moments can be tweaked.
