Were they naked
No. I'm sure they had their masks on.
Like, over their dicks?
You'll have to ask dad

the girl who mentioned the book review had a mask over her strap-on.

I did this for my wife's book. Pretty common.

Wait, a review of her friend/bf's new book? Or of John Darnielle's new book?

Ok cool. That's what I thought you meant.

Oh I meant I reviewed my wife's book.

Posted: **Wed January 26, 2022 3:45 am**

yeah, I'm terrible with attribution and tense.

I hope you left your wife a good review.

I like it so far! I am waiting for the pieces to fall together, but for right now I like "Wolf in the White Van" more. There are definitely through lines through the books, him being interested in things like the occult/RPGs/murders etc, so it doesn't feel samey but has the same feel. I know that sounds like a ridiculous paradox, but it's just what I've taken from it so far.

Oh no I get it. I totally agree. I'm only a quarter through.

mick or anyone else — do you know anything about michael bible or his writing?

Posted: **Tue February 01, 2022 5:07 am**

I know he went to my MFA program lmao. A handful of years before me. I know a few folks who liked him and a few folks who thought he was a guy who just jacked his dick all day until the bar opened. I've never read his stuff but it seems very Barry Hannah inflected. There really is a Cowboy Maloney's Electric City in Jackson, which kind of takes the shine off that title.

Oh and this probably goes without saying but that is not his Christian name.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
