I devoured this one the way a snake eats a rodent: one fast gulp and then a long time spent digesting.

extremely bizarre and spooky and unsettling yet somehow also very tender and sweet. i loved it <3

If I had a nickel for everytime I read a John Darnielle book where it took place in a video store, I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice!!

I have no clue what this was but it was good??

I literally honked when I heard the first funky interlude. PLEASE listen to the audiobook of this
