Um ... so looks like a bunch of you bought ALL THE HEARTS YOU EAT earlier this year. Like, half as many as when it released 🫪 For a book that didn't do so hot when it came out, that's *huge*. I don't know who said something, but over a book I retraumatized myself to write, sincerely, thank you 💜

A guy says to his mechanic "Hey Fran, my 1950's Studebaker is making a weird noise." The car sounds out "booum da hu da hmmh da hoon da ina." Fran opens the hood and says "well, there's your problem." A pleasant man with piercing, a beard and dreadlocks sits near the engine. Frank remarks "Jonathan Davis from Korn is under the hood."

Finally caught this. A really fascinating follow-up to 28 Years Later. Loses some of the British satire and weirdness of three prior entry, but it's less concerned with that anyway and much much more interested in being a smaller, character focussed entry. Final hour is truly remarkable.

Caught this whilst off sick. Its alright. Lacks the surprise of the original, but has a similar energy. Hard to find something new to do with the franchise when you play your best card in the closing minutes of the first film, so it keeps going back to the same well over and over again.

This was incredible. What starts out as a true crime novels keeps on shifting time and perspective, traversing real and fictional worlds (and some in between) to ask questions about why we obssess over horrrific acts, and who should have permission to write about them.
