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

Thanks, Meat Cat!
That series is genuinely creepy, and I even screamed out loud once! My girlfriend won’t rewatch with me but I probably put that series and it’s sister show Haunting of Bly Manor on once a year 👻💨
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!
Damn, the shooter took that bullet casing to the face pretty well
Is it eating a pork rind?
I am in a much better environment! This was about 10 years ago, and that particular store closed. I also ghosted that job. They had been harassing my trans coworker friend so we just stopped showing up. They did NOT try to call me :)
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.
Ahh, yes. I see you know your judo well.
My mom is finally cancer free! Also, my best friend of 20 years might move to the city I live in :)
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!
Divorce her immediately.
She was considering speaking up about the teacher having six fingers
The Shining, then Practical Magic
Yes, but, what about a Good Cat With a Gun? Endless lives could be saved!
Indeed. I found it both shallow and pedantic.
I’m an elder millennial and I have had absolutely no problem buying goldfish into adulthood. With this change, i’ll inevitably be calling them Chilly SeeBas, so idk how much more adult they’re going for in my demographic
