    Drood was so … long to read (I mean weird pacing) and I couldn’t decide if it was intentional or not.

    Also not giving us more of the tusk lady etc was criminal (but I knew that fairly from the start that I’m getting snubbed in my ghostly lore needs).

      Drood isn’t for everyone, but I enjoyed the craziness.

      ‘Black Hills’ is also pretty good. Native man gets a job working on the Mount Rushmore project. It’s a desecration but he needs the work.

        Oh, I kinda enjoyed Drood (like a snack I’m already fed up with yet keep munching), but in comparison some passages felt fatiguing, style a bit different, topics a bit mondaine (again, might have been intentional to show opium changes, idk).

        Didn’t read Black Hills, almost don’t want to, but prob will at some point (thx for reminding me).
