2022 Books Review

5 stars

FNAF Ultimate Guide (Cawthon, 2021): A great summary of everything in the sprawling FNAF universe, even has a section devoted to popular fan theories.

A Natural History of Dragons (Brennan, 2013): a fictional biography about a dragon researcher. An interesting character and interesting worldbuilding.

4 stars

The Silence of the Girls (Barker, 2018): an emotionally difficult look at the Trojan War from the perspective of Briseis and other women captured as war prizes by the Greek army. It’s strongest in the first half but the second half switches to other perspectives and feels more like every other Illiad retelling. Could have done without the modern lingo and Achilles' mommy kink. 

Nightmares and Dreamscapes (King, 2013): A collection of interesting and spooky short stories. 'Popsy' was probably my favorite, like Taken but with vampires (which sounds like a fantastic action horror movie).

Breakdown (Kellerman, 2016): typical procedural mystery novel but from the perspective of a clinical psychologist.

Compulsion (Kellerman, 2008): same series as above. It's portrayal of queer characters is a bit of a mixed bag. A trans woman sex worker is portrayed with sympathy even if the language used clearly dates it, but there's also a murderous crossdresser. YMMV

Skin Game (Butcher, 2014): a good heist story, even if I took issue with some of the writing choices.

3 stars

Tulip Fever (Moggach, 1999): The first 1/3 was a frustrating read. A woman is unhappily married, falls into lust with a pretentious womanizing painter, and decide to run away together, uncaring to the harm they cause. They claim to be in love after two meetings even though the only apparent thing they see in the other is hotness. The prose and ending (with consequences) manage to save it for me.

Hey so I wanted to know if anyone had advice on getting rid of nightmares. I've had really bad nightmares since I was super young, waking up crying or in the middle of a panic attack. A little over a year ago I figured out that if I listen to music I like while I sleep I dont have them. I have absolutely no idea why this works all ik is that I have listened to the same Bears in Trees playlist nearly every night since I found this out. Recently I had to share a room with someone for 4 nights, more than I've gone without the music since I started it and had a panic attack on the 3rd night. This really fucks me up for the rest of the day and sometimes one or two after so I just really need it to stop.

Nightmares & Dreamscapes by Stephen King

"Perception changes once you get past what's natural, doesn't it?"

I really thought this was never going to end. That's not necessarily a jab at this book, specifically, just at short story collections, in general. I know I say this every time, and I recently vowed to only read short story collections by Stephen King (or maybe Malerman/SGJ?) from now on. But even with him, I find myself struggling to stay interested from one story to the next (even the amazing ones). Add onto that struggle a whopping ~800-pages and the absurd amount of filler, here - It Grows on You, The Fifth Quarter, Dedication, The Beggar and the Diamond & the really good, but incredibly overlong essay Head Down and its companion-piece poem, Brooklyn August (I'm convinced the last three were only included to break 800) - and Nightmares & Dreamscapes damn-near killed me.

Thankfully, however, when it's good, it is REALLY. DAMN. GOOD. The opening story, Dolan's Cadillac, is incredibly satisfying in the execution of its exhaustive detailed and cleverly unforgiving revenge plot. The combo of The Night Flier & Popsy deliver some downright awesome vampiric goodness. You Know They Got a Hell of a Band brings us to a "peculiar little town" that makes you want to visit despite simultaneously giving you a major case of the creeps. And Crouch End brings some terrifying cosmic weirdness, quickly making it my favorite story of the collection. There are more really good/great ones - Sneakers, Umney's Last Case & Rainy Season, especially - but, overall, Nightmares & Dreamscapes's grueling page count and overwhelming amount of filler really knock it down a bunch. Now, if King had kept the killer and cut the filler, this would've been a damn-near perfect ~300-page collection.

7/10

-Timothy Patrick Boyer.

For a year I’ve been collecting the Ultimate Storyteller’s Collection from Steven King. This is a collection curated by Hodder & Stoughton. These are my favorite covers so far. I bought mine via Blackwells, a UK website that sells British covers of books. You can also buy them via Amazon UK. Both sites ship to America for free! For more info of this collection, visit:

Nightmares and Dreamscapes (2006) walked so Black Mirror could run

In King's 1992 short story, "You Know They Got a Hell of a Band," a bickering couple take the scenic route and find themselves in a little Oregon town with a 50s theme -- Rock and Roll Heaven.

I had the crew neck made for me by an Etsy artist and she did a brilliant job, just what I asked, and it's not her fault but I don't much like how it turned out. Still obsessed with the idea, though. Might see if I can't do something with the iron on letters I've got.
