The Prospect book cover, an astronaut flaoting in space with a cracked visor leaking viscera, displayed on an e-reader with a list of quotes from reviews.
"A Compelling story of friendship, sacrifice and the lengths,
honourable and selfish, everyone will employ to survive." Amazon Review: Tolkien Trekkie
This story has plenty of horror, gore, sci-fi twists, and heart,
and it is one that you won’t be able to put down.
Sci-fi/horror fans, this one is for you. Goodreads User: Kim Layman
Best SciFi/space Horror I've read this year.
I'm always on the hunt for the next Space Horror. The Prospect
surpassed my expectations. Goodreads User: Jason M
In the afterword, the author says how he was looking to write
something "fun, and pulpy. A little trashy, fun monsters,
a bit of gore and body horror" and, man, does he deliver. Goodreads User: Elisa

The SH2 remake was really good, but if you particularly enjoyed F I'd highly recommend seeking out 3! I loved F and I feel like there's a lot of thematic and tonal parity with 3.
Hinako and Heather would be best friends 💪
(Maybe watch a recap of SH1 first, 3 follows on from it more than 2 did)

Anyway a little over a month ago I started trying out a different music streaming service called Tidal and it's been really good so far. I actually like the layout a lot more than Spotify!
A friend has been doing good with Deezer too.

There are other options, just putting it out there.

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.

I've been loving the show so far, you two are killing it!
You really crushed the performance this episode in particular too, really palpable frustration and desparation.

B C Brown @bcbrown.co.uk · Sep 11

You are killing it with this show, it's been a joy to watch so far!

No other party says the basic truth: migration is good for Britain.

The real problem? Inequality, soaring bills, underfunded public services.

That’s driven by the greed of the super rich and the Labour government who serve them - not by migrants.

U.K. residents, could this be your chance to stop paypro censorship in the country? Please sign this petition

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Petition
Ban payment processors stopping services based on objections to legal content
Government should legislate that payment processing companies may not place stipulations on use of their services regarding sales of otherwise legal content and, if they do so, must face legal penalties and must remunerate platforms and individuals for lost income until service is restored.

I'm listening to Otherside from the Minecraft soundtrack and I know we all love Astrobot now but I'm just going to say, Sony needs to make a new Little Bit Planet and get Lena Raine on that soundtrack.

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?

We got like way more people than that don't we?
