5.0

david lynch really was one of a kind <3 this was genuinely such a delightful read and the audiobook is definitely worth it! it was so interesting to hear kristine mckenna’s research first and then have david lynch talk about it afterwards. in his own words. it was honestly so immersive and it felt like you were having a direct one on one conversation with him. 

it’s definitely a must-read for lynch fans but it’s just as interesting for anyone who’s interested in movie making and the life of someone as unique as david lynch.

impulse purchase based on cover and title, which unfortunately was a bad purchase decision on my part — most of these stories were simply too short for me to really feel a connection to them. the few i liked, ended abruptly, and while some of them felt like they were going somewhere.. i was still left feeling puzzled by several of the stories?

i'll have to revisit this in the future and possibly spend some more time reading each story. maybe it'll change my mind about the overall vibes of the collection.

oof, calling this horror is a disservice to the novella and will only leave readers disappointed.

the novella is focused around the mystery of a newly dug hole at a disused cemetery and the main cast of ragtag nightshift workers trying to solve the mystery. it’s pretty short, mostly not /that/ exciting to read, but it was well written i suppose. i mean, i didn't hate it, but it’s not amazing. i definitely liked the idea more than the execution which is a shame.
