@SandyofCthulhu Thor, by the way, works bc the author was stretching an unusual concept- it's written from the perspective of a normal, non-talking dog who realizes one of his family members is a werewolf. Think that's key for long horror, a concept that can last from prologue to epilogue.

[❄️ Sean Dreamer ❄️ @whateverblues]

@SandyofCthulhu In general you're right; horror is at its best either short or novella-length (Lovecraft, Matheson, etc.)
That said, Dean Koontz managed some great ones- Phantoms, Demon Seed- and Thor by Wayne Smith was a really good, decent-length horror novel that didn't have a lot of fluff.

@JacobAShell Not the Moon- Mercury, which has a decent chance of being the remnant core of Theia. The only other explanation for its anomalous density is a separate giant collision. Parsimony suggests it is simply Theia.

@The__Unyielding That's why the handprint flag is the best. It incorporates both- obviously directly representative of humanity, but it also symbolizes what we DO as a species. Wherever we go, whatever we do, we leave our mark. We have an insatiable urge to say "KILROY WAS HERE!"

@fde_enthusiast7 @AnthropoceneMe1 He literally walked the exact route of the Glanton Gang through Mexico, several times, as part of his research. The man did his homework.

Pennsylvania Propaganda 👍

[Smartacus @fivestarmichael]

I'm not a commie or some hippie environmentalist, but there is something wrong with an economic system that encourages the destruction of over 50,000 sq. miles of Indonesian rainforest to produce palm oil.

That's an area the size of Pennsylvania, the only habitat for endangered orangutans, being destroyed so we can produce billions of Oreo cookies and millions of jars of Nutella.

@AnthropoceneMe1 @fde_enthusiast7 Fwiw I don't think the book is supposed to be an enjoyable read, McCarthy wanted readers to feel squeamish and/or hopeless. If you're really "into it" (beyond perhaps his typically gorgeous prose) you're not the target audience.

[❄️ Sean Dreamer ❄️ @whateverblues]

@AnthropoceneMe1 @fde_enthusiast7 He's supposed to be Satan, spurring on the gang into ever more depraved acts of evil.

@AnthropoceneMe1 Have you considered introducing wolves, pumas, and perhaps tigers to your property to cut down the deer population?

[❄️ Sean Dreamer ❄️ @whateverblues]

@ripplebrain Not attacks on desalination facilities? Or is that even further up their escalation ladder?

In other news, her spouse, Robert Koch, officially becomes the happiest man in history.

BREAKING: Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch officially becomes the farthest any woman has ever traveled from Earth.

Reintroduce wolves and mountain lions across their former range and they will restore equilibrium.

Exploding deer numbers means more ticks and more Lyme disease.

It’s so obvious it’s painful pointing it out.

@AnthropoceneMe1 There are some cases of people marrying into the Amish way of life (Mildred Jordan did so, and wrote a bunch of books about her experiences/the experiences of others) but I don't know if anyone's ever just up and decided to convert cold turkey.

@FiatTruth Ty brvther I worked reeeeally hard on the edit. Hope the OP takes the input into consideration when finalizing the designs!

@whateverblues Feels more cohesive, I think your version really brings together what was before a bunch of relatively loose ideas. Love collabs like this.
