Same. I am obsessed with their peanut butter cups and the peanut and cornflake bars.

And I only learned about him in the first place because of Watchmen.

As an autist, I find this assertion nonsensical and offensively reductive.

Love this!

Think you better quit letting shit slip…

The solution: no human contact.

That’s definitely a mental image right there.

Yer gonna need a much longer pole…

Gladys was apparently 30 when she died, having been born in 1896. Such a fascinating person for having lived such a short life.

I did exactly that.

The traumatic brain injury may have had something to do with that, though.

You’ve clearly never had the transcendent experience of shitting in the woods. Or behind a dumpster at the Circle K.

Susanne’s snootching to that muthafuckin nootches with Jay and Silent fucking Bob! Noise, noise, noise!

I think they oughta install a tiny steam boiler just for the Choo Choo.

Ooooooh yeeeeeah, brother! Can yooooou dig it?

Love him, too. Currently watching Good Omens and loving every moment.

You’re going to melt for me whether you like it or not because I told you to. cracks dragontail

King is my favorite author, hands down, but I don’t understand why so many people seem to look down at Koontz. If we’re really being honest, Koontz would be much more well regarded if it weren’t for the fact that he’s so frequently directly compared to King, and Stephen King is a one-of-a-kind, once in a lifetime literary master. Absent the comparison to King, the bulk of Koontz’s work holds up quite well. It’s entertaining writing with relatable characters that are easy for become invested in. Hell, some of his ideas were not only terrifyingly imaginative, they were also oddly accurate predictions of the future. Demon Seed is uniquely chilling in that it was almost comically over the top with its seemingly ridiculous technology that has since very much become a reality.

I would also argue that Koontz has had a few film adaptations that ended up better than the King adaptations of their time. Phantoms, Watchers, Servants of Twilight, Whispers, Intensity, and Mr. Murder were all pretty great.

Koontz has a great track record. He simply suffers from living in the shadow of a modern day colossus like King. Absent the comparison, I feel Koontz would be much more favorably viewed.

Hmmm. Cute, but the collar is much more subby than dommy. Love that the doggo would choose leather rabbit ears, though.

Sarcastic: Indeed.

Wow. So that’s how you can actually do sarcasm on the interwebs!

Dude… try rural Illinois. The only internet I can get faster than 3mbps is cellular hotspot, and that’s supposed to be 5G but is usually actually 4G out here. That’s it. I can get dial-up, DSL, cable that is somehow slower than DSL and constantly disconnects, or hotspot from AT&T.

America is far from the best example of decent internet access if you live more than a few miles from a major urban hub. In fact, in rural areas, your options are not only stupidly limited, but also criminally expensive. For land-based internet at 3mbps where I live costs $6 more per month than my sister-in-law’s GB Fiber 20 miles away, and has data caps to boot. It’s insane.
