It has been a while. I have been pretty, and haven't been around much.

As for the books, I am still in the same place, reading Book 2 of Confederation The Better Part of Valour by Tanya Huff. Though I did spend some time reading a web novel, Book Eater, author is 메켄로 and translator is RainbowTurtle.

What about all of you? Which books have you been reading or listening lately?

What does being in a cult or liking creepypastas has to do with liking really kind characters? I think that would be in different spectrum.

Maybe I misunderstood your question, and you're asking how those three things exist in the same book? The story premise is very reminiscent of the popular creepypasta Candle Cove. I don't want to get spoilery, so I'll just say, as someone who was raised in a cult, you can have some genuinely lovely people who were fooled or were taken in as children.

My question was a mix of both, thanks for answering. I'll look it up.

It doesn't, hence the word "or" instead of "and." I was talking about three different features of the story, any one (or more) of which might appeal to someone.
