A group of friends. A road trip. A sleepy mountain town. Tale as old as time, right?

Not like this.

All Ariadne wanted was to reconnect with the people she used to love more than anyone. Rekindle bonds from her childhood. Make memories that she could look back on fondly in her golden years.

But someone else in the town of Ripton Mills had a different plan for her summer vacation, and what was once a simple weekend trip with friends in a remote cabin quickly became a harrowing nightmare.

She'll have to rely on all her horror instincts to get out of this mess alive.

Can she use this knowledge to save her friends as well?

Follow the guide and maybe you’ll survive! Coming October 17th!

Book: Welcome to LGBT, buy a candy or Fuck off

Buy Here! Only kindle $4,99, and free on Kindle Unlimited

About the characters

As described by the author in his twitter

Larissa:

The first star is Larissa! The world revolves around and ran over her at the same time. She went to São Paulo thinking that finding a job was the easiest thing in the world, and it was! After no effort and zero dedication, a sales deal came along, she just got hitched first!

Greg

This is Greg! He's not lucky, he doesn't have money, he doesn't have a formal contract (for more than 30 days), but willpower? He doesn't have either. He just has a black cat and a dream. But, who knows, a rich guy falling in love with him might change that a bit!

Beatrice:

The best cook you haven't met yet! Beautiful, smart and full of grit, she gives her best in her goals and doesn't have a flaw, because her husband got them all for him! Is her marriage salvageable or will the backrest stand in the way of her independence?

Tommy:

The best person in the world, except for yourself! If you need a hand, he'll give you his arm! This accounting science student's generosity is great to the point of agreeing to be an accountant for a bunch of amateur salespeople, and that WILL cost him his sanity!

Dennis:

Last but not least, Dennis!

This rich dancer didn't expect to spend his Saturday running over a blonde girl, let alone falling in love with an oddly grumpy guy, but life is rarely what you expect it to be, I suppose!

if you wanna listen to naddpod you should know this about the hosts: brian murphy is a straightman to his inner most core and he's the funniest person alive, these things exist simultaneously and would not exist without the other. emily axford is clinically insane to a point where it's easier to not try to follow her logic when she says things. jake hurwitz is a certified cool guy but he's the biggest loser in a room of nerds playing dungeons and dragons. caldwell tanner can only be described as exactly what a 1930's cartoon describes as a rascal. three of them are a throuple and the fourth is their boss.

#naddpod #not another dnd podcast #brian murphy #emily axford #jake hurwitz #caldwell tanner #8 bit book club #bahumia #trinyvale #eldermourne #ba2mia #and yes i know theyre not technically a throuple its just murph and emily that are a couple but if the intro to your podcast is 'my life #slash comedy partner my wife and my other life slash comedy partner caldwell' im calling you a throuple

...to be fair I do this while it's in sitting mode, too. Can't escape The Elbow Lean, RIP to my back.

ETA: before anyone says it, my vision is perfect, it's been checked, I'm just incapable of posture

#my art #tfw you stand up to avoid terrible posture in a terrible chair and then notice your posture followed you there #that 'monitor riser' is actually three of my thickest books lol #while my laptop is on the divine comedy and the chicago manual of style #my monitor lives on Mariposa Road the collected Jeeves stories and American Warblers #Two of the latter I haven't actually read yet because they've just become my monitor stand #I should. swap those out so I can read them sometime lol

i know you could explain it all with rule of funny or ''they did it on purpose as a gag'' but

sans has the uncanny ability to read your face like a book and know exactly what you're thinking with a glance. he also constantly misses papyrus' jokes and treats them like genuine questions.

papyrus talks to you over the phone and somehow manages to conceptualize where you are and what you're doing from your tone alone. if, however, you gave him a picture of asgore and toriel, the only way he could tell them apart would be by their clothes.

tone-deaf sans/face blind papyrus. they're both autistic in perfectly mirrored ways so when they talk they keep missing each other by a hairbreadth

#papyrus jokingly: why should i buy ice cream when we've got ice cream everywhere on the ground!#sans (thinks he's being genuine): oh that's uh. snow #papyrus (thinks he's ruining his joke on purpose): UGH. WHATEVER.#autism is stored in the skeletons #undertale #sans #papyrus #they can read everyone like a book. except one another. comedy fields cancelling each other

"I’m certain I’m not the only millennial who feels we as a nation have taken a dizzying turn when it comes to drugs. I remember a uniformed police officer showing up once a week in 5th Grade (a year before Sex Ed) to explain how to avoid buying and taking drugs. Luckily, I already knew the dangers of the drug trade because I had seen The Usual Suspects. I knew cocaine was a bad thing to buy, sell, or steal, especially from a drug kingpin. The D.A.R.E. program, however, let me know how important it was to say no to anything fun, including alcohol. At least until I understood a little algebra first. We did role-playing exercises where we walked one by one toward the portly police officer and he casually asked if we wanted to hit a mimed joint with him. All we had to do was say “no” and walk to the other side of the room, defying the only rule I knew about improv. We wrote essays about how important it was to preserve our pristine bodies and minds, obviously unsullied since we had yet to take the class teaching us how puberty was going to defile them both. I’m still mad that my friend Nicole’s essay beat mine in a contest, and she got to read hers in front of the whole school all because she had the benefit of an older brother who took too much acid and sat in her room all night talking about why the existence of light proved God was real. My essay about a time I saw my friend’s dad drink a beer and then drive his truck somewhere was also good! We signed pledges to enter the new millennium drug-free. We took the red pencils that said “Friends Don’t Let Friends Do Drugs” and sharpened all of them down to say “Let Friends Do Drugs,” “Friends Do Drugs,” “Do Drugs,” and simply “Drugs.” Despite that little rebellious act, my friends and I spent a solid six months swearing we’d never put any harmful substance into our bodies besides every form of candy available.

Imagine how I feel now as a D.A.R.E. graduate becoming my dad’s drug dealer. It’s less thrilling than I thought it would be. Between my father’s warning not to hang around one specific neighborhood in Cleveland as a kid and nearly every TV show about drugs, I thought I’d always be buying marijuana from an intimidating dude who definitely had a gun and would use it immediately if he thought I was wearing a wire. Instead, I now buy marijuana from a well-lit storefront that looks like the Apple Store. I’ve even gone to a place where a guy with an iPad explained what each available strain would do to me. I buy what sounds good with all the confidence of a man pointing at items on a menu written in a language he can’t read. I put it all in a cardboard box. I place a book on top. I mail the box to my dad from my local post office. I tell myself the book is to hide the contraband crossing state lines, but in truth, the book is what clears my conscience. I want to send my dad something edifying while also sending him the drug that all of America worried would make me unable to read if I tried it once. The unrequested book is a red herring to distract from the vice, like when you were young and didn’t want to buy condoms outright at the store so you cushioned them between a pack of peanut M&Ms and a magazine. Hmm, what else did I need, — right, while I’m here — might as well pick up a few condoms.

Right as marijuana becomes legal in most states, I’m about done with the drug. I’ve had three good times on edibles, and one of them was when I felt nothing and fell asleep at 9:30 PM. I’m flabbergasted that my dad likes edibles. He seems to be a man free of anxiety. Case in point, I once brought him some THC lozenges to our summer holiday in Chautauqua, and around dinner time I told him “You might want to only take half of what I gave you” to which he replied, “I took it hours ago.” He was stoned and no one noticed.

While I’m stuck in my head, stoned or sober, wondering why I didn’t take some acting gig 15 years ago, wondering if I’ll ever make enough money, worrying I’m doing everything wrong including in this moment as I write this sentence, my dad is enjoying himself.

Judith Grisel, the author of Never Enough: The Neuroscience And Experience of Addiction, describes using marijuana as throwing “a bucket of red paint” on your brain. She was approaching the stimulant clinically in terms of how it differed from the laser focus of other drugs (THC reacts with many receptors in the brain, cocaine focuses on one), but now every time I smoke, I think of the red paint metaphor. While other people seem able to crank an entire joint and do insanely complicated stuff like function at their jobs, I am reduced to a gelatinous blob, on top of which my eyes and brain are navigating a dream state that, like many dreams, isn’t all that interesting the next day. Mostly, I get high and can’t decide what I want to watch on TV or what video game I want to play, I realize how hungry I am, and then I fall asleep with cereal still stuck to my teeth. Pot, for me, is like the squid ink hitting the screen in Mario Kart: I can still see where I’m going, but everything gets a little harder to do, and the panicked half-blindness makes everything slightly more chaotically fun."
