What's the most severe example of a fake version of a book you've ever seen? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] dominiquec@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

The first Don Quixote book was so popular it spawned a lot of fake sequels. Cervantes killed off Don Quixote in the second book to preclude any more copycats. That's what I remember anyhow from the preface of a paperback edition from way back.

What 90's movie or media trope would be great as a stranger things style show? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] dominiquec@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Any of the 90s horror anthology shows. Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Friday the 13th: The Series heck even X-Files and Buffy. I don't think we've had a decent horror anthology show in recent years. Black Mirror is less horror than just plain meanness sometimes.

Smoothest brew I've had in a while, no hint of sourness or bitterness.
