Mustang/Mark. 29. He/him. Bri'ish. Disabled/Chronically ill. Currently in BloodyMary hell. Creator of 'Hail, True Body', a horror fiction series. Banner by me. Tag for my BloodyMary fic 'On Wanting To Live And Other Choices' is #owtlaoc
'Hail, True Body' is a religious horror series that focuses on what it means to be human in a world that God has abandoned. For Mark Owens, 1993 is shaping up to be the worst year of his young life - and that's saying a lot all things considered. When his best friend Cesar Hernández calls him one night in October, Mark ignores the broadcast warnings to help him out. But Cesar is acting... strange.
Though perhaps that's understandable. His mother did just die, after all.
Or: An eldritch beast tries a little too hard to be human. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Reviews from readers:
"really good. only almost threw up like 4 times. also a vaguely deer shaped creature gets bested by a well aimed stick so 10/10" @b0nkcreat
"this story broke me into pieces and then crushed them into a fine snortable powder for the devil to enjoy. 10/10 would read again. like bottling every feeling at a funeral and making it physical. god I love these little sillies so goober core heart emoji. i am forever changed. the person i was before is dead and buried in an open casket... darcy is cute btw" @corvidaeconundrum
"Unironically, this story made me feel emotions I forgot existed. 10/10, would recommend!" @kade-is-here
“This story made me wanna explode out of both happiness because of how great the writing is, but also out of sadness because of how depressing it gets. 11/10, would erase my memory just to read it for the first time again.” @kyliebirdie
"Reading HTB makes you appreciate the good things in life. You need some positivity to counterbalance all the angst that was just shoved into your soul. Live your life to its fullest because some of the characters didn't live long enough or lived good enough." @didasgomas
"10/10; I have gone through emotions unknown to both man and shrimp, have wanted to bash my head against the table too many times to count due to said emotions, and have placed the author on a hitlist. highly recommend. also screw the deer" @itsjustaturt
"hail true body has been the first story to make me unlock shrimp emotions. 10/10 would read eldrich beings accidentally getting humanity again" @cookierye
"amazing story makes me feel like i need to vomit <3. i hope the Deer gets eaten by bugs and that Mimic!Cesar gets to live out his greatest dream and eat concrete at some point. it's so well written and feels like a swarm of insects. 10/10 would eat if it was edible." @stormco0l

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

"At first, I assumed Astrophage. Can you blame me? It’s what I’m out here to fix - I’ve got Astrophage on the brain. I live and breathe it at this point. It would explain the death of the stars, for sure, but something about the way Simon said they were gone. Just gone. Not dead, not dying, not burned out, but gone. And the planets, too. If it had been our buddies the star eaters, the planets should still be there and so should the stars; dull and colder than is needed to maintain life on Earth but, as far as we understand it, Astrophage only feeds on starlight - light, heat, and radiation. It only eats what is emitted, not the star itself. So they should still be there.
But, let’s say that it does eat the star, that still wouldn’t explain how the planets are gone, too. They should still be there - uninhabitable and flying endlessly miles and miles and miles away from their original orbit, yes, but they don’t cease to exist like Simon is implying. That just wouldn’t happen. Things don’t just vanish. It’s the first law of matter: it cannot be created or destroyed, it only changes states! It gets reorganised during physical and-or chemical processes. The rules of physics don’t change willy-nilly! They don’t!
Things don’t just disappear.
Planets don’t just disappear."
