Hate when you finally find a copy of a book you’ve been searching for for ages and then as soon as you start it you’re like “actually I’m not in the mood to read this right now”
#i had to pirate it because it’s damn near unavailable in the uk for some reason
#my options were £200 hardback or £6.99 ebook but it’s in french
#and i just don’t see myself learning french that fast. plus i don’t trust those insanely expensive listings
#has anyone ever bought like an out of print book or tarot deck or something for a random expensive price like £86.37
#and had it actually arrive? because i want to know what’s going through the heads of people who list those kinds of prices
#like yeah at an auction an out of print book could absolutely reach that but amazon is not an auction site lmao
#ANYWAY. so i pirated the book because literally my only other choices were learn french or spend a solid 3 days’ wages on ONE book
#and neither of those things were happening
#and now i don’t even want to read it. like i don’t Not want to read it but i’m just like.. i feel like the reason this went out of print
#(in the uk anyway) is that it’s not as good as his other two. like the horror showed up in the PROLOGUE. i’m sure there’s more to it
#but like where is the suspense. where is the buildup. brother you put me through hell and back with the other books and now you’re showing
#me a cryptid on page 3? what is the reason
#i mean yeah in both of the other books horrifying stuff did start happening right from the beginning; but it was literally just a quick
#taster of what was to come. it wasn’t like. the WHOLE thing. you’re telling me a cryptid that eats motherfuckers is NOT the main horror????
#in that case i am completely unequipped to read this at the present moment. i have too many shifts booked in the near future to sign myself
#up for a night of sleep THAT bad. so. it’s going back on the proverbial shelf. sorry.
#watch me put off reading this for so long that it gets an affordable reprint lmao
