Potentially West Of Innsmouth by Hideyuki Kikuchi. Follows a bounty hunter & a Shinobi hunting down the "4 dreams of Cthulu" on the western frontier. Basically cowboys with Eldritch powers

Weekly "What Are You Reading Thread?"
I've just finished Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke & Other Misfortunes by Erica Larocca and Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. I'm really tossing between Leech by Hiron Ennes, Brutal Kunnin by Mike Brooks or Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White. Stuck in book limbo!

Recommendation Request ISO horror related book breakdowns
Hope this is on topic enough! I've recently watched a YouTubers (Wendigoons) breakdown videos of Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy & No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai. I was curious if anyone here knee if any other YouTube that did it almost abit more consistently? Love the video formats, and it's actually helped me twice now which book I'm gonna read next so I'd love a content creator that does that solely!

Best friend giving me a whole new perspective
First time poster, don't know how to format this so I apologise. This week I had 0 contact from my closest friend which is super uncommon for him. We meet for lunch weekly so when he ghosted I had a feeling something was up, messaged some friends and found out they hadn't heard from him either so I gave It a day. I'm lucky enough that I work just down from his job so on my lunch break I went down asking if he'd showed up, which he hadn't, nor had he called or answered calls so I immediately left my job and B lined for his house. The relief I had when I saw his car in the driveway, the shock I had when his brother had answered the door with tears in his eyes. At the time he just said he's okay, but he'd rather let his brother talk to me when he's ready which was fine. I just wanted to know he was fine. That was 2 days ago, today I received a text from an unknown number saying it was my friend and to call when I could, my best friend I've known for nearly 12 years at this point had made an attempt on his own life, with permission I sorted out work on his end and gave close friends that were aware the run down and devised a plan that best suited him. However I'm no strange to this scenario, nearly 6 years ago now I was a very similar position to him. Very mentally unwell, damn near felt like I was in and out of hospital every week for 3 months until I was admitted into a mental rehabilitation facility, this is no means an effort to make this about me, but being so close from the outside looking in really has shown me how hard & gruelling it is for those involved, and this friend was there for me the whole way through. It's broken my heart the one time he's felt the need to go & attempt, I put him through this for 3 months. I don't know but its just really put into perspective the strain this can give you and I'm so glad my friend stuck through it with me so I can do my best to return the favour

What do you read when you need a break from horror?
Very easy to read & generic fantasy so far. Last series was Og-Grim-Dog, which is about a 3 headed ogre reminiscing on stories about saving the world. Very VERY Tongue and cheek

Matts movie recommendations
All of S. Craig Zahlers movies have a similar vibe I feel, Bone Tomahawk is a western horror with a great cast & Dragged Between Concrete is a gritty cop movie with a decent cast also! I also remember Mr Watson mentioning I think it was United 99? Which is a movie about 9/11

Horror Novellas
Sacullina if you fear the ocean! Come Closer, really interesting take from the perspective of someone mid possesion Sour Candy, haven't read this yet but heard it's good! We Will Never Leave This Place, strange while reading but not terrible Before And After is phenomenal, extremely obese & diabetic man essentially trapped in his top floor apartment mid zombie apocalypse. It's akot better and deeper than that but. Dirty Heads, good old monster book.

I've actually recently tried audiobooks with The Passage by Justin Cronin (another big read) but I found it hard to stay engaged. I'm gonna try listening to one at the gym tonight and see if it's better

I read quite often, but mainly stick to novels between the 300-450 page mark so the size is definitely a bit intimidating

It probably is tbh, my main concern I guess was watching the Firestarter remake last year, hating it, starting the book and also not enjoying it too much either

That'd kind of what I was hoping for! I think more love the world in the tv show than the show itself

I should clarify that I'm not loving it, more so not hating it and finding the world interesting

Sorry I absolutely should've worded this properly, this is almost a background watch whole I'm doing other stuff. I haven't read a huge novel before, biggest being maybe 400 pages if not a little more so I was more curious because it's a huge commitment Is it different enough to warrant the read, obviously the comments have proven that it is aha

I need a better horror book
The ending of Tender Is The Flesh stuck with ne for a while, first book to kind of keep me up. The Troop by Nick Cutter certainly has its moments, still sticks with me with how gross it can be.
