 Tanis: Season 1 [podcast]

YOU HAVE PROBABLY HEARD MY THEORY THAT THE REASON HP LOVECRAFT WORKS AS HORROR IS THAT HE IS KINDA AWFUL AT WRITING AND IT PUTS THIS AIR OF "WELL HE COULDN'T HAVE JUST MADE THIS UP SO IT MUST BE REAL" WHEN HE DESCRIBES SOMETHING. I FEEL LIKE THIS HAS THAT. IT HAS SUCH ABSURDLY BAD WRITING THEN MIXES IN ACTUAL REAL WORLD STUFF IN WITH FICTIONAL STUFF IN A WAY THAT HONESTLY ENDS UP BEING MORE EFFECTIVE THAN IF IT WAS WRITTEN WELL. GLYPH IN USE FOR TEN YEARS, YOU CAN SEARCH PDFS, 


PS. I LEGITIMATELY LOVE THE FRAMING ON THE ELLIOT SMITH/KURT COBAIN EPISODE WHERE THEY WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE THING THEN WERE LIKE "NO, NONE OF THAT IS TRUE, THAT IS ALL REALLY OFFENSIVE AND YOU CAN'T SAY THAT" THEN MENTION IT AGAIN IN LATER EPISODES AS LIKE, A MISGUIDED FAN.

I FEEL LIKE REWRITING IT SO ANIMAL KID WAS HIDING UNDER THE BED MORE SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE GRANDMA WOULD HATE HIM IF HE DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD POWER WOULD HAVE MADE THE CONFLICT SEEM LESS PULLED OUT OF NO WHERE. LIKE A GRANDMA HAVING TOO HIGH EXPECTATIONS IS REASONABLE BUT IT'S NEVER REALLY ESTABLISHED AS A PROBLEM UNTIL IT'S A PROBLEM.

Magicats! [book]

 Magicats! [book] Space-Time for Springers : This is just "my cat is sad" but wacky. A kitten convinced it will grow up to be human.  The Game of Rat and Dragon : This is some real extreme nonsense 1970s sci-fi. Things from the dark eat you if you travel through warp space, but human brains are too slow to react to the millisecond attacks, so they have to make psychic entanglement with strong hunter cats. There is vague romantic undertones to this.  The Cat from Hell: Oh, it's that stephen king story.  It's that thing from the tales from the darkside movie. The one king doesn't know how cats or mouths work.  Out Of Place: I don't remember anything about this story and have just reskimmed it right now and still can't tell you anything about it.  Schrödinger's Cat: I absolutely love Ursula K Leguin, but oof, this book just didn't work. It has a strong feeling of a metaphor based on some not quite right 1970s pop understanding of physics. Maybe it'
