I haven't actually read it, but I've seen some spoiler-heavy discussion of the plot, and it sounds colossally stupid.

This was actually a regular thing with Farnsworth Wright, the editor of Weird Tales, who was a big fan of luridly horny cover art in the least appropriate circumstances possible. A Wright cover was generally the closest a Lovecraft story would ever get to attractively-portrayed human nudity, for instance.

I didn’t know. I read the first two. Number one was hosed up. Number two was DELIRIOUSLY hosed up. I can’t imagine what a third would be like.

A Wright cover was generally the closest a Lovecraft story would ever get to attractively-portrayed human nudity, for instance. Which led Seabury Quinn for one to make sure he always included a scene where an attractive girl danced sexily or got menaced by something while underdressed so his story could get the cover illustration. isoprenaline posted:Oh gently caress, there is THREE of the loving things? I didn’t know. I read the first two. Number one was hosed up. Number two was DELIRIOUSLY hosed up. Dead Things is the third, but I've got zero memory of what happened in it. I should probably just thank whatever gods I own for that.

Captain Hygiene posted:Lol, I always forget he exists but instantly hear OH JOHN RINGO NO in my head the moment I see his name. Some while back, I read a series that was co-authored by John Ringo and another author, Travis Taylor. It had a lot of the usual libertarian Baen crap but wasn't as bad as, say, that one series where the heroes were the Waffen-SS. So I thought, oh, this Travis guy must be more normal by comparison and therefore the collaboration toned things down. So when I found Warp Speed at the local thrift store I was happy to plunk down $1.50 for it. That was a very bad idea. It has been over a decade and I still sometimes randomly find myself goggling over how ridiculously bad that book was.

Ringo wasn't the SS guy, you're thinking of Tom Kratman

It's no wonder these books are so loving long All I know is that it completely took over TBB’s web serial thread. All the posts became “new TWI chapter is out!! It’s 50,000 words and was written in an afternoon!” It did succeed in making me miss Worm Discourse, which is quite the achievement.

It seemed almost like a story that prided itself in being really long more than anything else. I loved parts of it, but yeesh, what a commitment it was.

I think the whole reason I got into Harry Potter was after I learned each book was 20% bigger than the one before it

Soap operas have their dedicated fanbases and they go on forever with no particular direction, see also comic books and megafranchises in general.

There are videogamers who dismiss 20 hour games, tabletop gamers who insist on covering the table with every expansion and miniatures and custom dice, TV viewers who bemoan that a show finished after only 8 series, movie fans who insist a franchise is still fun after 10 entries, and readers who always want more, more of the same, "I just love spending time with the characters!"
