Looking for a book to give me goosebumps and look over my shoulder vibes. I’ve read splatterpunk and while that’s fun it’s more just gore on gore and I’m not really scared while reading it (if that makes sense). Looking for something fast-paced, atmospheric, and horror-focused. I also care about if it’s well written and plot is interesting Spook me!

for reference this is how I rated my recently read:
Tender is the Flesh 7
The exorcist 7.5
Withered hill 7.5
The shining 8
Salems lot 6
Misery 7
Pet semetary 7.5
Off Season 9
The Ruins 8.5
Off Spring 7.5
Your Body Will Never Be Found 8.5
The Suffering 8.5
Pressure 7
The Summer I died 5.5 (boring plot/writing was eh/just gore)

Howdy! I am new to extreme horror (some Steven kings books got me into horror but wasn’t that scared by them). I read Off Season and wowww this is exactly what I wanted in a book. Non stop horror. I now need a new book to read. I don’t like heavy sexual abuse and little to no child abuse. I was thinking of No Exit by Taylor Adams or The Ritual by Adam Nevill? Totally open to other recs. I read Tender is the Flesh and didn’t really find it scary just gross. I’m ok with cannibalism but really focused more on a fast paced super scary book which Off Season was to me. Thank you everyone!!!

Has anyone been to The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park Colorado? It’s the hotel that inspired King for the Overlook Hotel. I just read The Shining and seen the movie for the first time a few weeks ago. Very excited!

I’m heading to Denver for the first time and my friend will be taking me to Casa Bonita! It’s one of my favorite episodes so I’m very excited that this restaurant 1. Actually exists and 2. I get to experience it!

Has anyone been there before? I know it’s not known for their food but more for the entertainment/atmosphere. As a big fan of SP I’m very curious and excited to dine there.

I just read The Shining for the first time. This is my first Steven King book and really enjoyed it! I am stepping into the horror genre. That being said, I just got the book It but was also looking into pet semetary and Salems lot. Any suggestions on what to read next? It is literally over 1000 pages which is a bit intimidating but I’m willing to read it for a good horror book experience. I hate clowns… lol. Thank you all!

Hello All!

I have started a podcast to document the journey (and hopefully help some of you too).

I'm on day 9 of quitting marijuana after 10 years of daily use, and honestly I needed somewhere to put all of this energy.

I'm 28F and I've decided to start a podcast to document this in real time — the ugly days, the wins, the weird dreams, all of it. My big "why" is that I want to have kids in the next couple of years and I want to show up healthy for that. I've also dealt with eating disorders and body dysmorphia for a long time, and the more I've sat with this process, the more I've realized how tangled all of it is together.

I'm not an expert. I don't have it figured out. But I think there's something valuable in just being honest about what this actually looks like from the inside, and if even one person feels less alone because of it, that's enough for me.

If you're somewhere in your own journey check out my podcast! We are truly all in this together. I'd love to hear from you, and maybe your story ends up being part of this too.

We're out here. Keep going. 💙
