didn't ask

>Esoteric is a term used to describe something difficult to understand or understood by few.

No it's not, it means "provokes interest" the same way "erotic" means "provokes desire."

>>20467380
Fuck off gardner

>>20467406
OP is trolling, but right about the meaning of esoteric you dolt

>>20467380
>that file name
It's weird how retards think their shilling and botting works for anything, you stick out like a soar circumscized thumb.

>>20467506
Even if I mock it, it’s still shilling? God forbid I want to humour myself, shit talk the book and ask a genuine question. You are not as smart as you think you are

>Any good authors on a DMT worldview?
GRS Mead

>>20467549
Go back.

Call Of The Crocodile is awesome

>>20467380
Should I read it?

Why hasn't anyone ruined Gardner's life yet? 4chan is known for doing that sort of thing when you mess with 4chan.

>>20467380
>Any good authors on a DMT worldview?

Terrence McKenna

Yea it’s really good

>>20467380
It goes in all fields

>>20467848
He’s been doxxed already, he’s just so pathetic it doesn’t even matter. He doesnt care that people here are disgusted by him, so long as enough naive idiots keep falling for the grift

As far as I’m aware, Horror’s Call is the only series that utilizes the whole DMT concept for a horror setting. Have you read Ouroboros? I hear people talk about CotC all the time but Ouroboros is the one that focuses on the DMT stuff the most.

>>20468026

He'll give up eventually. Gloria Tesch threw in the towel and got a real job, but even if Gardner never does, he'll eventually realize this stupid series is never gonna catch on and spend his time on something more productive, even if said activity consists solely of masturbating.

I’ve noticed a lot more Croc threads lately. Is it because of how it went viral? Anyway, Call of the Arcade is better than Call of the Crocodile. I’d recommend that one. But you probably already read it since you read Croc

>>20468060
Kinda doubt it only because he’s not averse to the hate as long as it generates any amount of money. It’s like how, when sufficiently called out, the shills switch to acting like they enjoy all the grammatical errors because it’s “like the book version of the room.’ Enough stupidity and you’ve got tenacity.
>>20468094
You’re not ‘going viral’ you’re clearly just trying to force a dispute between reddit and 4chn centering around you. It’s been pathetic to watch, entirely opaque, and we’re all ready for you to go back to discord with all your little retarded sycophants.

>>20468094
I’m more surprised Jigoku isn’t more popular. That’s my favorite one imo. I like Pokémon and it was cool to see that it’s a gory and mature version of that.

To answer your question though OP, Gardner really is probably the best option. Since his books are like a combination of Lovecraft and Terrance McKenna.

>>20468060
damn I did not know who Gloria Tesch was until you posted this. Honestly gives a lot more insight into Gardner. It’s always so hard to believe he can be this >>20468165 insanely tonedeaf and keep pushing despite being so obviously shit, but I guess this is a whole genre of person and Gardners just the most recent iteration of sad, wannabe loser.

Can someone explain what the hell “Call of the Crocodile” is and who the fuck “Gardner” is to someone out of the loop?

>>20468701
lurk more

>>20468701
The most insane book in existence

Call of the Crocodile is by far the best meme book from this place.

>>20467805
I’ve been wondering if Horror’s Call is a psy-op. There’s just too many odd things about it.

>it’s “from 4chan”
>author no one knows much about other than that he’s a Flat Earther
>the abundance of red pills in the content of the books

The red pills in them are beyond They Live and the Matrix combined. This isn’t just some normal indie book series.

>>20467380
How do I find a pdf of it no way am I paying for some meme book

>>20469151
OP here. I tried everything and even used quotation searches. It’s literally no where to be found, not even any torrent. I don’t want to suggest you buy it, but you won’t satisfy your curiosity any other way. Some faggot did a reading on YouTube for free

>>20469117
It’s weird. It’s written the EXACT same way I wrote as a teenager. There’s virtually no discussion of its content online, and there’s only 3-4 videos of it on YouTube. What surprises me is the DMT section of the book because that’s been my inherent view on death. I guess someone off on the deep end like the author was never formally educated. It’s funny how he mentions self-cognition in his book, but he doesn’t realise how shit his grammar is and how uncanny & robotic his characters are. There’s no way someone can be that retarded. It’s either the most schizo creepy pasta or it was all part of a plan.

>>20469218
Thanks, I'll skip it

>>20467380
Its written by a GPT3 AI

>>20469218
Yeah it felt to me like the ultimate creepypasta in book form. Even though I kind of suspect it’s a psy-op, it was a wild ride to read and I enjoyed my time with it.

>>20469282
Not possible. There’s a ton of twists and foreshadowing. An A.I. wouldn’t be capable of that.

>>20469306
Why not? You said it reads like a dumb teenager wrote it

>>20469332
Because it would have to take into account how to properly execute the foreshadowing with the various themes and hints it has which build toward a few twists in it. A.I. is capable of shitting out a semi coherent story but the technology is nowhere near the level of being able to do that.
For example, halfway through Call of the Crocodile it heavily references Dante’s Divine Comedy. It’s foreshadowed in the earlier chapters. Plus the whole big reveal in it is just too complex for an A.I. to do.

>>20469332
If you were following along with the posts, you’d know you aren’t replying to OP you gay retard

>>20469363
Good point.

I read it too. CotC is probably the best book I’ve come across from rec threads

Somebody post an excerpt from Crocodile. I don't want to sign up to Amazon to get a sample of it.

>>20470662
I only have this excerpt from one of gardner’s other books saved but here you go

You can tell Gardner shills so much because there's no written reviews for the 3-5 stars given by (probably) bot accounts; instead, we're left with heaps of these 1 star reviews by people who were duped. Stop falling for memes.

>>20470708
This is great

>>20470708
"The impossible and turned to possible"
"serial killings became replaced by"

You read something like this and you think the person is unfathomably dumb, but then you remember that probably somewhere between 10% and 20% of the world population is actually even more retarded than Gardner. A sad state of affairs.

>>20470708
Unfathomably based

>>20467406
retard. never post on this board again

>>20467380

When will you stop shilling?

>>20474160
Who is this guy what he do?

>>20474160
thanks

>>20467805
This was sort of my experience. CotC blew my mind. I thought it was just another “meme book”
