Almost finished Imago Sequence, it has so many cool stories even tho most of them are really fucked up in a way.
I will admit that I read the climax of Old Virginia with the lights on and closed my bedroom door after, but I'm also really easily immersed into creepy and spooky stuff.

Proboscis is one of my favorites, especially after I've checked reddit to see what people make of it - most of them are fucking retarded and think that (spoiler ahead, dont ruin it): the protagonist escapes

TL;DR, Imago Sequence is some good horror shit. Havent read much else of Laird Barron yet, that will change soon

Hey /lit/,

I'm looking for people who have read the Imago Sequence. The stories seem to be so full to the brim of subtle hints and nudges that, for lack of a better term, forebode whats going on and what's really to come. I think I caught most of them, but maybe I'm overinterpreting a few things here and there.
There's a really good blog/website explaining some of the more obscure elements of the general weirdness and uneasiness that permeate the book, but even they didn't catch everything in my opinion.
Has anybody read the book and would be willing to share what they think?

Obviously other horror lit is welcome too, I've only recently gotten started with Laird Barron. I've also peeked into the works of T.E. Grau and Ballingrud as well, very immersive and enticing.
Sorry for the rambling, but it's not often that I get the urge (or chance) to talk about books I've read because nobody I know really reads anything. I ready mostly during my night shifts when things die down a bit, but my coworkers aren't much into books.

Pic related one of the plots in Imago that I just finished, so obviously it may spoil some of the story.
