How did F Gardner become the biggest writing sensation this place has ever seen?

How long would it take to read all 16 books in Horror’s Call?

I never read anything like this before. What are some other books that feel like acid trips? I’ve seen this book talked about here before and I have to say this has been the best reading suggestion I’ve ever gotten here. I’m also curious if the rest of the authors books are just as good. Other books are acceptable for answers too as long as they fit the criteria of being as mindblowing

I’ve read a number of /lit/ books and F Gardner’s books are the most enjoyable. Why is Call of the Crocodile specifically considered to be the best? I know it’s the most famous /lit/ book there is but I’ve read both Call of the Kappa and Call of the Arcade and they were a lot better. I wouldn’t even say it’s because of the mindfuck twist because all of Gardner’s books seem to have mindfucks in them so far. What gives?

Can you buy ads for a book until people start to buy it? I'd on off buy ads on Reddit or /x/ when my novel is done if I thought it'd help. I hear having girls read it on tiktok goes a long way too

Call of the Crocodile or Gravity’s Rainbow? Which is the better meme book?

What are the most iconic books written by /lit/ users? Iconic does not mean it is good.

Gardner seems highly underappreciated here. The literary references are emaculate.

I heard this book originally came from here. Is that true? How’d that happen exactly?

Will Infinite Jest ever be able to overtake Gardner?

>A dark fantasy horror novel, set during Halloween. After a boy is eaten alive by a crocodile, his family begins a descent into madness and terror in this odyssey of modern horror.

Is it really that much better than the 15 other f gardner books?

Is this (and the rest of the books in the series) the closest thing there’s ever been to a book that has the same atmosphere and plots as a David Lynch film? Any more like it?

This was the most insane twist I’ve ever read in my life. Are all of this series just as batshit?

I finally managed to read this and I must say, it's the most uniquely original premise I've ever encountered in a horror narrative. Surprisingly, there was barely even crocodile in the book, but what truly took me aback was the astonishing idea in the plot: the idea that Depersonalization is a dark gateway to enlightenment, leading the characters to the unsettling realization that they don't even exist. It's a mind-bending concept that has me wondering how the writer came up with such an idea. The story grapples with the notion that our entire lives may be a deception, a nightmarish illusion. It's one of the most ingenious concepts I've encountered in the realm of modern horror, and it sheds light on why it has garnered such a devoted and cult-like following on 4chan of all places. I also couldn't help but notice that most of the criticism regarding the book's supposed grammar issues seems to come from those who didn't venture very deep into the story. That's because the main characters are children, and the way it all comes together actually makes perfect sense within the narrative's context. You see, a significant part of the plot revolves around the young protagonist who is not only part of the story but also the author of the book he's in and it manifests the world the series exists in and the kid even becomes aware of the reader of the book in a psychedelic out of body chapter. It's a very bizzare and original narrative technique and added another layer to the story. With Halloween approaching, I'm excited to dive into the remaining books in the series and will be posting my thoughts on them here.

Which book by F Gardner should I read for the Halloween season?

It is the Eraserhead of literature. Are the rest of the books just as trippy? What are some other books with F Gardner energy?
