I felt the same way about her other book Sundial and was so irritated I had to take a break from books for a couple months. I read Last House on Needless Street because I heard that if you don't like Sundial you will probably like LHONS and vice versa but I hated them both and they both left me SOOOO irritated!

The twist with Ted was obvious about three pages in and made the rest of the book a total SLOG, the twist with the mom was obvious pretty much as soon as she showed up and ruined the central mystery, and the twist with Dee was so freakin' silly I found myself wishing I was also dead in a forest instead of reading this boring book that managed to somehow be predictable and nonsensical at once

I read the beginning like you said (from chapter 1) it flowed like oxygen so fun! But the last 100 pages of Buttercups Baby was awful, not only was the movie ending better with Inigo becoming the Dreaded Pirate Robert, but Buttercup and Westley were so much nicer and seemed more in love. In the book Westley slaps her, Buttercup is not smart and Westley notices, she’s very mean to him a lot of the time, and I was hoping it would end with them finding other partners (I watched the movie immediately after finishing the book today actually). I would rate the book without the extra introductions and epilogue as a 4 out of 5 because it’s funny and Fezzik and Inigo were great characters and it really felt like a classic that other authors have used as inspiration.

Ive replied to acouple comments but just to remind everyone: In book 8 it talks about a 17 year old's tits and nips in the first 3 chapters for a straight minute of audiobook time. Then Dresden has said minor kneel in front of him while naked at the end of the book after she tries to seduce him. And in the following book where said minor has an orgasm in front of him. Yea guys totally not a creepy book series at all and a questionable pedophilic author.

Honestly I’m looking for something new to get the east of that out of my mind. I swear if I go to bookclub and they are all like we loved it, I’m knocking over the cookie table. They classify it as a horror, thriller but it was stupid. Also as a parent of a young kid I wouldn’t let her go off with an older kid in an unknown town. Like that was so unbelievable. I would b afraid for a two young girls in a stranger town that clearly is a tourist destination to go “explore” like sex trafficking is real. Plus her being jealous of lulu at the beginning was stupid. She was 6 and Dee was a teen. I didn’t want to be like a 6 as a teenager. Now my older cousins that where allowed to date and weren’t nerdy like me. Yes.

@TGApuleius Ай бұрын
I thought the exact same as you. Even the best story is something I've seen on low-budget horror anthologies on Amazon prime. The second issue isn't much better. Disappointing art, too on-the-nose storytelling, and in its case, only three stories with a cover unrelated to any of the actual stories. A great example of the writers not knowing when to quit is the last page of the last story, they just couldn't help themselves and ruined a solid finish. Cruel Universe wasn't bad, but they announced SuspenseStories and Cruel Kingdom. They are going to need to do a better talent search for so many stories when they are absolutely struggling with just three issues.

Looks like shit to me...publisher should keep with the original EC look and feel by requiring real pencils, real inking, and real watercolor/gouache/even Copic markers for graytones or color. No matter how "advanced" these art software programs are, they all look fake and computerized.

I'm of the mind that while Stan Lee was a bit of a thief, would never have built Marvel without the likes of Jack Kirby, men like Jack Kirby likely never would've been able to consolidate the intellectual property and rights to make a company the likes of Marvel because they lacked the cunning, ruthless business acumen that allowed a man like Stan Lee to create such a business juggernaut. Not saying that it's right, I just think there's a realistic consideration that we might be taking about the lost gems of Jack Kirby instead of the thefts that built Stan Lee's empire in another timeline. Don't know which is more tragic.

@@TheAdarkerglow Yes I think Stan Lee did amazing things for comics as a business man.

I really don't get Us Vs Us. Is it for vax or anti vax? The anti vaxxers are depicted as bad for burning a church full of mutants but the people who did take the vax are all mutants who plan to eat the infected once they're dead. There wasn't even a clever twist or anything at the end. I don't get it on any level? Having two very ''modern politics'' heavy stories already just in issue one was really off putting. I don't care what side of the political spectrum it is (though in modern western comics it's almost always one particular side) but I find either boring now in modern comics. I don't know why modern western writers can't seem to help themselves but push their political ideologies instantly.
