Some books fuck you up. They introduce an idea into your head, and it stays there, it grows, it haunts you at night. So, here are a few examples of that type of books, in case anybody is interested:

  • The Three Body Problem series. Man, just, cosmic horror and science fiction horror that isn't about body horror elements. Great for science nerds. The scale of these books is unbelievable, even if they start slow.
  • The Library At Mount Char. Fantasy elements, not dragons and magic type but more like secrets of the universe type, and reality is more than you think. The end is awesome, and it's best to read this book with a clear mind.
  • House of Leaves. Actual horror, if I were to specify I'd say psychological, but even that doesn't feel right. This book is an experience, it plays with your head. It just gets in there and never leaves. There are pages here about how sound moves in a space, and properties of it as well as light. Poetry too. Letters. A whole world.
  • Lovecraft, too. The Call Of Cthulhu is a good starter. Existential horror, eldritch fantasy.
  • Vita Nostra. Somebody described it as Harry Potter but written by Kafka, and it's very suitable. Dark academia elements, emotional metamorphosis. No actual body horror, at least by my standard. Reality is not what you think.

This is a personal opinion, of course. If you do read any of those, I recommend going into them without looking for information on them. Spoilers would destroy the experience. For myself, the experience of reading those books is indescribable. Some of them I've read years ago, but they still haunt me. An edit to add another book:

  • There Is No Antimemetics Division, followed by Five Five Five Five Five. A mix of psychological and cosmic horror, and it's great. Related to the SCP Foundation, but I wasn't familiar with it and I read it just fine. Based around the concept of antimemes, ideas and beings that erase themselves from your mind, that cannot be spread or remembered. Reality is fucked up.

Hey y’all I’ve been looking through the Goncharov (1973) posts, and it seems like most people aren’t aware of the master document, which has all the lore, behind the scenes, and plot breakdown. It’s collaborative, so we can all make sure we get the most accurate depiction of everyone’s favorite movie :)

Mark Hoffman x Reader

▸ format: one-shot, 3.6k words

▸ summary: After a rough day at work your left drained and upset. Luckily for you, your boyfriend Mark Hoffman reminds you of your worth.

▸ warnings: smut, porn with some plot, fluff, hurt/comfort, praise kink, soft Hoffman

The jingling of your keys in the lock is the best thing you’ve heard all day. To say you had a bad day was an understatement. Everything seemed to go wrong. You spilled coffee on your pants when getting into work, your boss reprimanded you, and to top it all off you had to stay three hours later than usual. Dumping your purse on the floor you hang up your coat. Your quick to also kick your shoes off by the door. You couldn’t be bothered to set everything in their exact place at this point.

Your home wasn’t that large or fancy, but it was one of the only things you could call your own. Stepping into the living room you are met with the most wonderful sight. Your boyfriend Mark Hoffman was leaning against the back of the couch wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants. Letting out a sigh you slump your shoulders as you walk into his arms. He pulls you into a tight hug, resting is his chin on your head. Before Mark met you, he wasn’t an intimate person. That quickly changed the more you spent time with him. Your warm heart slowly melted his much colder one. Behind every intimidating man is his most vulnerable secret, a woman he loves. You helped fill that void in Mark’s life after his sister died. It was your shared goal to keep the other from being consumed by the dark world around you. Unbeknownst to you, Mark’s world was much darker than you could even imagine.
