Were they naked

No. I'm sure they had their masks on.

Like, over their dicks?

You'll have to ask dad

the girl who mentioned the book review had a mask over her strap-on.

I did this for my wife's book. Pretty common.

Wait, a review of her friend/bf's new book? Or of John Darnielle's new book?

Ok cool. That's what I thought you meant.

Oh I meant I reviewed my wife's book.

yeah, I'm terrible with attribution and tense.

I hope you left your wife a good review.

I'm in the dedication so "Brandon" left a glowing review

I like it so far! I am waiting for the pieces to fall together, but for right now I like "Wolf in the White Van" more. There are definitely through lines through the books, him being interested in things like the occult/RPGs/murders etc, so it doesn't feel samey but has the same feel. I know that sounds like a ridiculous paradox, but it's just what I've taken from it so far.

Oh no I get it. I totally agree. I'm only a quarter through.

mick or anyone else — do you know anything about michael bible or his writing?

Mickey · **Posted:** Tue February 01, 2022 5:07 am

I know he went to my MFA program lmao. A handful of years before me. I know a few folks who liked him and a few folks who thought he was a guy who just jacked his dick all day until the bar opened. I've never read his stuff but it seems very Barry Hannah inflected. There really is a Cowboy Maloney's Electric City in Jackson, which kind of takes the shine off that title.

Oh and this probably goes without saying but that is not his Christian name.

Mickey sounds kind of jealous of this Bible guy
