I'm Steve, I tend to read scary books. I post about them, review some, try to interact with the kind people who write them. My cat likes Insomnia by King as much as me apparently

It's been a good year for horror

Steve Reads Scares @stevereadsscares.bsky.social · 5d

It's in my queue, but I also have Angel Down, the Possession of Alba Diaz, Lucky Day, and Acquired Taste ahead of it.... 5 books across 3 library systems.... I'm going to be screwed trying to finish them all

Much like the format you took in Whalefall, kinda throws you off for a minute but then it's hilarious and I love it.

And here I thought the most commas in a sentence was Absolution with like 15, @danielkraus.com seems to doing a 304 page sentence in Angel Down lol (in chapter 3 so I'm going to assume the trend continues)

He's got a ways to go but also rosters get cut by 2 so doubtful

Will pre-order soon, but also requested it from the 3 library systems I belong to

Steve Reads Scares @stevereadsscares.bsky.social · Aug 13

I think we own the second tie breaker with a tie for the first, so we technically would take the lead

Steve Reads Scares @stevereadsscares.bsky.social · Aug 12

Will be my running soundtrack today

Reading Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and What Feasts At Night

Now watch the TV show, it hits hard in today's world

Man that was a long book

Steve Reads Scares @stevereadsscares.bsky.social · Jul 27

So underrated. Just magical, colorful, gorgeous all around

Steve Reads Scares @stevereadsscares.bsky.social · Jul 22

I can't wait to read it, finishing the Stand for the first time that.... With is in the way, boo

Steve Reads Scares @stevereadsscares.bsky.social · Jul 13

Postgame said he threw at a ball at fans in the stands then flipped off the ref after the red. Evans during the broadcast flat out said they need to have conversations about him and his future since he's costing the team now

Dark Tower is the easily my fave but also going to say I will always have a big soft spot for The Hitchhikers Guide. Trying to recollect all the paper packs now while I read it again. Nostalgia

Reading The Fervor by @almakatsu.bsky.social, man this book is flying but also depressing, too close to today's world and also the beginning of covid. Oof. 2/3 done and man it's flying
