Pearl by Josh Malerman (Bird Box).
It’s about a pig on a small farm that can seep into your mind and make you do and see terrible things. I picked it up after reading Bird Box and a few other books of his, which I enjoyed. I expected to give up on it based on the silly 80s horror movie premise, but the book is truly demented and creepy and I felt existentially weird after reading it

That pronunciation always drives me wild! it only makes sense to call it data.
What, you don’t like cold soured apple curd tart cream? It has nutmeg in it!
I worked with someone who did this. It was the HR person. She just didn’t show up one day, didn’t answer her phone or door. For a solid week. After a wellness check by the police, it was revealed that she was fine, just couldn’t go back in to work because she hated her job so much.
I was young, and it was a shitty grocery chain filled with shitty management and shitty customers. I 100% thought she had killed herself, or skipped town for some other awful reason. It was a relief to hear she was OK. Fuck that store.
Listen. If you separate the dessert side, and debone and shred that chicken, I would 100% try the bite with the grape on it.
You. Get out.
That is bizarre! Do you think she might have weird stomach acid production? Like, maybe she uses the string to evacuate some sort of gross stomach fluid? I am going to lose sleep over this
Thank you, kind stranger!
Holy crap. I’ve lived in Portland for the last 2 years and I have been shocked by how unattractive everyone is. I’m not saying I’m a model or anything, but JFC it’s like everyone hovers around a 4-5
Fucking SAME. I bartended and served through college (my degree doesn’t pay well due to YouTube tutorials that have flourished in my industry, lol ouch) and after, and then finally at 30 I started temping in manufacturing, which led to me permanently hired at a huge company with ridiculous benefits, and am now a supervisor in engine assembly that will make 6 figures in 3 years.
I desperately wish I had gone into trade school when I was 18.
Lol the account is minutes, maybe hours old. What a silly little troll
There is no bottom.
I’m about 75% through The Ritual by Adam Nevill. It is also a movie. I really enjoy how he writes his characters, and the book is legitimately scary and creepy. I have to set it down sometimes.
On the scary/creepy note, another amazing book and movie is Birdbox by Josh Malerman. That book legitimately terrified me.
