Also what do you mean by "Lovecraft Stories"? Do you mean all of his stories as a corpus, or is there some horror novel out there by that name by a different author which I've never heard of?

Meeeeeeeeeee tooooooooooooooo
Summer of '06 I think it was, my extended family went on vacay and my mum bought me a bunch of issues (they sold them at the grocery store and 7/11 and places like that) along with some other magazines and Ripley's Believe It Or Not! books and etc. to read while on the trip :) I was 12 at the time. We didn't know how good we had it.

Has anyone read The Troop by Nick Cutter?

So far I'm about 7 chapters in, not very far. I'm not sure if I'm liking it or not. I like the premise and sometimes, when it gets going, it's a good read. But it's a bit strange how he spends about 4 pages going on about a boy being a nerd and ranking the "alpha maleism" of the other boys. He's constantly mentioning how big and strong this boy is. Think he mentioned the flying spaghetti monster and talked about male ego and sometimes it feels like 2 different people had their hand in this. One being Nick Cutter and the other a female Redditor. I don't know, just seems bizarre to me.

It's not that I'm having a particularly bad time reading it, it's just little things like that take me out of it briefly before continuing. Not to mention he will spend a page describing the same thing with 4 different metaphors.

Is it worth pushing through?

>>24736162
Do you have the one where Bat-Boy steals a car? I vividly remember that one from my childhood.
>>
>>24736122
House of leaves was pretty bad. Should've been a novela with only the main storyline with the house.
>>
>>24736912
I didn't read The Troop, I did read The Deep.
I really really hate Nick Cutter's writing style, he's very unsubtle in a way that makes it feel like I'm reading a creepypasta and not a novel.
>>
>>24737552
Agreed. The academic satire wasn't particularly funny or cutting, and it seems especially dated now. Johnny Truant's sections were just a bunch of sexual fantasies that added nothing to the story and were good only for inspiring the name of that one Fall of Troy song.
>>
>>24736136
Oh nice. I never noticed.
>>
>>24736406
If I told you then it you negate the twists.
