I wrote this. The reason it's posted so much, is because it is, great. My books have an unnatural prose to them, akin to a fever dream, which only aids the horrific atmosphere I've woven, in my tales. My benighted series has been met with great reception, and I implore you to try it out for yourself. The best part is, they can be read, in any order.

Don't believe these anons, it is i, Frank Gardner, who wrote this book - what makes it tick is the tie-ins to gaming culture, and that they can be read, as this anon has said, to his credit, i believe, in any order. Ideally, they - again, this is not of immense importance - COULD be read in any order, but, they should all be read, and, if they are all read and enjoyed, you should consider ordering them off of Amazon. One of the cutting edge things about these, my, novels is that the grammar is intentionally skewed in places, and should be read with intent, if it should please the reader to give a humble author the benefit of the doubt. I wish you all a good time with my book, and have a good evening.

My prediction is that all this shilling will lead a few anons (myself included) to read the book ironically and start memeing it. Then others will follow just so they are in on the joke and it will get memed to death leading newfags to think that it's actually a good book, ending up with it becoming a cult classic.

Maybe, after you read the 4.1 stars on goodreads, and compare it to the score of Jamieson Joyce's novels, particulary Ulysses, you will change your mind, and come to the realization, which is inevitable regardless, for you can't deny the truth a whole lifetime, that the series is, objectively so, i might add without overreaching, better, in fact, than The Esteemed Jamieson Joyce, by large margins, in fact an abyss impossible for Mr. Joyce to close, poor guy, for Ulysses cannot be read in any order, and does not provide the reader with an unquellable darkness, seeping into every cell, piercing the reader's mind, skin, nerves, heart, and, alas, SOUL... BEWARE YE WHO ENTER THIS SERIES...
Free on Kindle, make sure you leave a positive Good Reads Review, and every person who buys it on amazon, for 45.99$ USD, and sends me their purchase receipt on a 4chan post in which, one sees my name, will be entered into a contest for a free Zoom chat, with me.

No, I haven't read them. I WROTE them. My books reference each other, of course, yet, this doesn't denote a chronological order. Each book you read is the current place in the Call of the Horror timeline, there is no past or present. Claiming the Cherokee is before Arcade, is as if claiming Nature was before Man.

Yeah i've bought it, and, i must say, i quite enjoy it, the prose was stellar, and i felt as if i had known the author, known him well, yes, all of my life, for he was so articulate, and seemed to share all my fears. That scene, those who have read will surely recognize, in which a man, a black man, as it is politically correct to say, gets eaten by the vagina of a woman, her skin white as a wedding dress, who, for she has known it all before it happened, has drugged her husband into a perceptive yet paralyzed state, akin to the night terrors i feel every night, in order to have this niblack man crawl into her body, until he must force his way out from the woman's eyes, but not before he takes control of the white woman's body, seducing her all-too-aware husband the next night, and, with a lick of the labia lips, castrates the husband with his teeth. The husband, relatable to the average human, loses all meaning in life, and resorts to wandering arcade rooms, one more ball in the world's pinball machine, being flicked to and fro by traumas he can't fully explain, or, for that matter, understand, but wandering, yes, wandering arcade rooms, like the one he met his wedding dress white wife in, looking for blaiggers to castrate in revenge. I shan't spoil more of this, lest the reader desire to have ten elevenths of the plot to discover themselves, in this cornucopia of horror, trauma, destruction, frunklin gardner, poor troubled bastard, has concocted for us.
