oh wow. I thought it'd be cool to wake up with a fifth of Macallan's and LJ; now I have Scotch burning my nostrils as it floods out my nose, THX U. I lost it at MEETIN IN THE LADAYS ROOM.

But wow. This freakshow is legitimately trying to pass himself off as a relative of the original author? LMAO I BET HE LIVES IN PLEASE, NIGER TOO. I'm surprised he was even allowed to publish his fanfic.

Pretty sure the general demographic that would read this book wouldn't know what to do with diacritic markings and their phonetics anyway. Srsly, just listen to the way some of my coworkers attempt to read texts off my phone when sent from my cousin.

This all sounds so much worse than I dared to dream. Dacre Stoker was supposed to be coming to the Bram Stoker Film Festival last year, partly to promote the book. I'm now so glad he didn't, but also I really want to see that hair close up...

Some months ago, I noticed this tome of terror leering innocuously from a table at a bookstore and had a moment of orlynao

YES. Only in my store it's on a shelf. Whatever. It does leer, and you might want to know that it's leering from next to a hardback reprint of the original with a matching dust jacket.

I had a feeling there would be fail involved; I also have a feeling bears shit in the woods.

And fucking shit, the misty rapist. And the truck driver's convention photo. Convulsive laughter. I can't even.

Lol @ Boxxy, "misty rapist", YOU BETRAYED SHIVA, the "coming up again and again" thing, and H.H. Holmes pwning Erzsebet the Ripper. Also, "derailed by Night Train" - so simple, and yet so awesome. My compliments.

The book does at least have pretty nice cover art.
