Hahah! Yes, and this will lead us to success! I'll definitely be here throughout the event because I have a lot of pies to earn if I want to be able to buy multiple sets of the EIs.

How did you come up with the idea for this hangout - why the macabre and morbid?

Hai, perhaps it will work ^^


I choose the macabre and morbid because I am utterly intrigued by it and how people react to it. I adore and embrace all the dark and disturbing things polite society turns they heads from. I know I'm not the only one out there, for everyone has some sort of attraction to it, weather they admit it or not. It's just a part of the human psyche to be curious about things that they know little about and/or are repulsed by.

I personally have read many books and watched tons of documentaries on everything from Alchemy to Vodun "Zombies". I just can't get enough of it all. The fact and fiction revolving around it is just too much for me to ignore! Ah, forgive me, I am rambling now. :sweat:

That's really awesome. Do you read any sort of horror novels? I think you might like Poppy Z. Brite's work.

I adore horror novels, but I cannot say I am familiar with that author. What books did they write?

Hello everyone :}

HI!

How are you today?

Pretty good, you?

i'm pretty good, a bit bored though.
There's not much to do where I live.

A list of works by Poppy Z. Brite

I would recommend Lost Souls and Wormwood. Those are the two that I remember best and I really enjoyed reading them. It's been a while since I've picked them up, however. Maybe it's time for a re-reading of her works!

Are there any horror novels that you would recommend?

Good evening, Divine, and if you do not mind a bit of flattery, I must say that is exactly how you look. I like the simple theme of your avatar.

Unfortunately, I am about to leave for a bit. I shall have to continue all discussion later, gomen ne.

I do believe that is the case most places. But quite a few people just don't know what to do, especially those in a city.

I will be going soon, as well.

KageShio: oh thank you! My avatars not finished yet, but I also like the simple theme of my avatar. And farewell for now.
Drakina: Most everything requires money :/.

I know, but there are parks, and places to hang out that don't require an arm and a leg. Or even just a pinky toe. And there are always books.
I will be going, as well.

I'll see you two later, Drakina and KageShio. *waves*

I am more of a comic person, that's what I usually do is read comics.
It's too hot here to go to a park right now.
and bye bye!

What comics do you like, Divine?

I have returned once more.

You are quite welcome, Divine. I can't wait to see the finished avatar ^^

Lore: I read the wiki pages on them and they do sound fantastic, I shall have to find them at the library. As for novels I have enjoyed, I love the classics: Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, Poe's works and such. However, I do like Anne Rice's works and I have recently read the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series by Laural K. Hamilton. However, the quality of that series does decline at about the tenth book, in my opinion, at least.

I have not read the Anita Blake series, although I have heard good things about it, but I have almost all of Anne Rice's books upstairs on my shelves. :D I also enjoy the works of Poe and the original Dracula.

I would definitely recommend Anita Blake, it's a fun read, though it can be quite intense. I still have not read all of the Anne Rice books, but I plan to as soon as I locate the rest of them. Poe is my favorite for casual reading, just something to take a time out from the other books I am reading at the time.

Since we are on the topic of books, I'll have you know that I am quite the collector of old ones. I have many poetry books, some of them dating back into the 1800s! ^^

Oh my! I have an older edition of the Red Fairy Book that's in not so great condition that I found in an antique store. I really love the smell of older books; it's intoxicating.

Red Fairy Book, by Andrew Lang? Oh, I envy you! What year was your copy published? The Red Fairy Book originally was printed in 1890, I think.

Hai, it is one of my favorite smells. I also love the feel of them, the worn covers and the softness of the pages. I could spend years surrounded by just them and be perfectly content. ^^

I wish i could draw like you :(

Oh, I don't know! I'd have to go look but the little one is asleep in my lap and I can't get up without disturbing him. :sweat: I'll make sure to check tomorrow and get back to you on that, KageShio. Not many people know what I'm talking about when I mention that book! I was surprised that you did and probably shouldn't have been surprised.

On the subject of books, my favorite book Was youth in revolt. The movie did not do it any justice :'( i literally LMFAO while reading the book.
