I recall you reading Penpal at some point, so I just wanted to say that I finished it today. oooughhh. For a book that only has one really graphic moment (the car scene), it is impressive how gross I feel after reading it. The feeling of dread that permeates the whole story is not something I’ve felt with a lot of other, more graphic stories. And it lingers! God. I need a long shower and maybe a hug.
This is all complimentary, to be clear. I love horror, and I’m genuinely impressed by how unsettling Penpal is. Great stuff. And I don’t know if I would have found it without you mentioning it, as I’m not on Reddit, so thanks!
omgg thats so terrific.. it truly is in its own league i absolutely agree. many nights when im in a horror mood im like hmmm should i finally get back to penpal. and i go god no. christ. fuck no. and i go for my niceys ligotti or my sweet evenson instead^-^🙂↕️
