Characters: Puck (A Midsummer's Night Dream)
If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended.
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.

modern literature [lapvona] ottessa moshfegh
“When she asked the birds what to do, they answered that they didn't know anything about love, that love was a distinctly human defect which God had created to counterbalance the power of human greed.”

"tell me i'm worthless" alison rumfitt
rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
genre: horror, gothic, lgbt, transgender
synopsis:
Three years ago, Alice spent one night in an abandoned house with her friends, Ila and Hannah. Since then, Alice’s life has spiraled. She lives a haunted existence, selling videos of herself for money, going to parties she hates, drinking herself to sleep.
Memories of that night torment Alice, but when Ila asks her to return to the House, to go past the KEEP OUT sign and over the sick earth where teenagers dare each other to venture, Alice knows she must go.
Together, Alice and Ila must face the horrors that happened there, must pull themselves apart from the inside out, put their differences aside, and try to rescue Hannah, whom the House has chosen to make its own.
