Ouch. RIP.

I read Call of the Arcade when this site was giving it away for free. I thought it was really interesting but I'm not really into horror that much. Good for what it is.

>>17537606
Wow all this guy does is copy Gardner. Sad.

Dude stop posting this. This is against the rules. You could get banned for posting this because it's advertising.

Whatever you do, don't do pic related!

why would hiro punish one of his pay piggies?

There's actually no such thing as a 4chan ban.

>>17537580
I wonder what gardener thinks of this guy. Why would you copy gardener of all people? Out of all the successful author's you could've ripped off....

I'm surprised people don't talk about Call of the Cherokee as much. I read a couple of them and that's the one I thought was the best.

>>17537391
This. Card is an obnoxious shill. Gardner is based and pumps out new books like a madman. Card’s books are boring and Gardner’s books are batshit insane. I’ll take the more entertaining author, Gardner

>>17538119
Correction. *Card’s book. He only has 1 poorly rated book, whereas Gardner has several, all rated twice as high.

>>17538142
Card has three (published) books.
-Acorn Boys
-Box Kicker
-People Mover

surely, if you're gonna spread disinfo, you can do better than that.

At least gardener is funny because his covers look like something Chris Chan would draw. Shilling this fake true crime psy op is just try hard and cringe.

>>17538193
>fake true crime psy op is just try hard and cringe.
What?

>>17538193
Yea. I've heard people compare Gardner's books to The Room. The autism is part of the charm.

>>17538250
The card guy is trying to do an arg where he was “suicided” the day the people movers paperbacks were taken off Amazon because “the people mover has secret information too dangerous to the elites to be allowed to get out”. He made a fake obituary website and everything.

>>17538193
Wtf is going on in this cover?

>>17538382
>The main villain is a leprechaun and he's trying to burn Chicago down.
>The protagonist is a newborn baby.
>Book starts off with the leprechaun burning the kids mother alive in front of him, then the baby starts tripping out on DMT and gains superpowers.
It's so ridiculous I love it.

>>17538403
That...sounds amazing.

>>17538382
Burning baby? A literal baby that’s on fire? Maybe the baby is gaining magical powers? No idea whatsoever. I only knew about the arcade, crocodile, and Cherokee. Now there are babies calling too? He must write these fast.

>>17538372
I haven't heard or seen anything at all like that. Link either a source or the website then because that sounds kinda like bs to me. either that or you're a complete schitzo

>>17538429
There's this one too. I thought this was pretty neat. Reminded me of Shenmue.

I'll believe it when I see it

I have no idea what this comment is supposed to mean.

>>17538486
so you're saying that website is fake?
for what purpose dude?

looks real to me

>>17538486
This guy needs to infiltrate Gardner threads to shill his book because his own threads aren't interesting enough o survive.

If you're tired of seeing this guy, just click the the button here>>17537545
. Amazon will see that his book is a scam and take his book down. Then we'll be gone of this asshole, forever.

>>17538530
I don’t know, I just know someone made changes to his Amazon the date he supposedly “died” and some threads on x popped up trying to get anons to “ investigate”. I figure he’s started some on Reddit as well, but I wouldn’t know where to look. This is of course assuming he isn’t really dead.

>>17538537
Brilliant. I'm clicking it. You brought this upon yourself, John.

>>17538552
All he did was copy the fake obituary that the /lit magazine made of Gardner. Because Card is an idiot, he misunderstood it and thought Gardner made it, himself.

>>17538382
>>17538403
This is his best one. Craziest ending.

>>17538522
>>17538486
you're saying he created both those entire websites to sell his book?

nah i ain't buying it. I think the obvious F. Gardner shill might just be jealous of him so they're making stuff up

>>17538596
That's projecting if I ever heard it. No one is jealous of you. You'd need to be a success, or considered good for that to happen.

>>17538649
yeah both those websites are real and i'm not either author.

I think (You) need to take your meds.

Really high quality. Best original content to ever come from this board. They're books written by some crazy neet, so it makes sense that they'd be at least interesting.

>>17537134
Absolutely based. Its so bad it becomes good again

Call of the Arcade, Kappa, and Cherokee and Cradle are all very strong. I thought Call of the Arcade was the best of them with Cherokee close behind. Crocodile has a really interesting twist. But it can be confusing unless you're paying really close attention to all the details leadings up to the big reveal.

>"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."

That's one hell of a description.

>>17539156
Kek. The crocodile returns in anthropomorphic form, later one. It's one of the most bizarre stories I've ever read.

>>17537134
OP is a faggot

>>17537545
gardner actually spends money advertising his books here, he deserves a bit of word of mouth. this piece of shit just outright shills.

>>17539195
Gardner’s redemption arc has been the best part of this board in ages.

Oh shit. He's writing more? I've got some catching up to do. I only read Crocodile and Arcade.

>>17539457
They've all been out since last year. You're not a true fan, screw off

>>17539566
Jeez. Gimme a break. I read them both last month.

>>17539322
It really is like a redemption arc. It's even resulted in >>17539566 Gardner elitists now

I like this shop.

>>17540083
now that's a much much better cover

>>17540083

>>17537134
Gardner is cool and more c/lit/s should write books.

>>17540635
I got the entire F. Gardner ANTHOLOGY (so far) for ~8 leafbucks. You want me to spend $3.81 on this rookie upstart's atempt to dethrone Mr. G? And it's just one book??? 81 pages???????? Huh.

>>17540608
