#ctrlaltread

Alien deathmatch. In a library. With spiral staircases, interdimensional weirdness, and a guy who just wanted to hang out with his kid.

Hey there. I’m Elias, and this is ctrlaltread, my little chaos console for all things books, fandom, and stories that hit like a plot twist at 2AM.

This blog is part journal, part fandom flail, part book tracker, and 100% unfiltered nerd joy.

If it’s got secret codes, ancient artifacts, wormholes, time travel, or intergalactic diplomacy, I’m all in. You’ll find me spiraling over conspiracy thrillers, yelling about old sci-fi shows, and occasionally disappearing into video games for “research” (read: side quests and cutscene emotions).

What you’ll find here:

📚 Mini reviews & reading reactions 🌀 Fandom deep dives, starter packs & memory posts 🎮 Book/game chatter and crossover thoughts 💥 Rants, raves, and ridiculous theories ✨ Frequent screaming about Doctor Who, Stargate, Trek, Star Wars, and the general nonsense of ancient civilizations hiding USB drives

Stuff I love:

Dan Brown, Matthew Reilly, Tolkien, classic and chaotic sci-fi

Stories that spiral, worlds that expand, and lore I can lose sleep over

Game time that's equal parts puzzle-solving, exploration, and panic

Talking about fandom like it's a historical artifact

This space is casual, slightly unhinged, and built for fellow readers, fandom nerds, and lore goblins. Pull up a chair, say hi, drop a rec, or just lurk and vibe - I’m glad you’re here.
