I remember when that issue came out. Always found it odd how that issue has survived all these years.

>>24736387>I fucking loved Weekly World NewsMeeeeeeeeeee toooooooooooooooSummer 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.
Any good horror books with awesome twists at the end that recontextualize the whole story?

Is there anything else like Empire of the Necromancers with lots of skellies?
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?
>>24736162Do you have the one where Bat-Boy steals a car? I vividly remember that one from my childhood.
>>24736122House of leaves was pretty bad. Should've been a novela with only the main storyline with the house.
>>24736912I 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.
>>24737552Agreed. 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.
>>24736136Oh nice. I never noticed.
>>24736406If I told you then it you negate the twists.
>>24738015it would*Jesus.
>>24738015pretty please? oh please oh please?
>>24737552>>24737970Nahhhhhh. House of Leaves is good! I think it's a book that you need to read in your early twenties however. This September/October is 10 years since I've read it
What are the best swamp monster stories?
