I am not a fan of Lovecraftian horror. Though the Hyperion Cantos is mostly seen as science fiction, there are certain horror elements that are exceedingly well done. Love the Priest's story, and love Hyperion to death. Disclaimer: I have never read Stephen King, the supposed King of horror.

I am a reader. If I could be a writer, I would. But alas, I think the depths of my reading make me acutely aware of the failures of my writing whenever I do attempt such an endeavor. I don't come to these forums often, but I enjoy talking about reading, and books, so it makes me happy to...

Certainly can't beat All Quiet on the Western Front for depressing :blob_teary:

Last game I played was Tetris. :blob_dizzy: I guess some giant sky-blue I-tetromino is going to drop on my head and the System will announce: "Tetris!" before my body flashes and disappears into the void.

B-b-but... Maren Morris has some really good pop/country songs though :blob_teary:

That's so sweet to hear. I didn't know that.
