Horror’s Call

It’s this

Plotwise? probably CotC for the meta story

Call of the Crocodile

Schizo book from a schizo book series from this board

>>21202668
I have a screenshot saved from a thread that summarized the whole plot. Beware spoilers.

Call of the Crocodile. TLDR; the whole book is about the idea of the Basilisk and generating things into reality by making thoughts manifest.

Pic related. Spoilers.

Tell that to F Gardner. Spoilers for CotC. Twists can be kino sometimes.

>>20941608
Some Deus Ex Machina twist.

Reminded me of her appearance in CotC

>>20929606
Doesn’t sound like you read the book.

>>20929053
It kinda makes sense.

>Memeable cover
>Memeable title
>The general plot sounds too ridiculous to be true. See pic.
>Fucking JK Rowling and Stephen King are in it.
>Deus Ex Machina twist ending.

I think it was the first book advertised on the chans. It’s popularity overshadows all the other books Gardner has written. When you analyze all these aspects it’s like the perfect storm of luck.

Can’t be weirder than her appearance in this

This is a spoiler but see pic. You’re right on the money about his style and I’m surprised more people don’t realize this aspect. I guess it shows that the shitposter are literally not really reading the series. A similar thing happens in the other books to explain the choices. The series has grown on me overtime and I realize that yeah it’s clearly a stylistic decision but I probably wouldn’t have realized that if I didn’t decide to read them

Because the plot is bonkers and massively entertaining to read. Like all the F Gardner books.

Kek. That’s actually does sound like an F Gardner twist.

>>20870271
No that’s ironically CotC. Not even kidding.

Here’s the weirdest.

Are the rest of these books just as fucking insane?
