Unsettling books about reality being unreal

[Anonymous No.21791292]

Every time I read one of Gardner’s books it makes me feel like I don’t exist and my life is a lie. Why is the concept of “life isn’t real” (don’t know what else to call it) so rare in literature? It is the creepiest and most unsettling concept I have ever seen in fiction and Horror’s Call is the only series that I know of that explores this idea. Where did Gardner even get the idea from and why does it seem to be true to me? I can’t seem to shake the feeling that there’s something behind this concept and reality might not really exist.

Really? Story?

It exists but our sensory experience is only one way of interpreting the slice of reality we are able to perceive. Our notion of reality is no more real than the reductive descriptions of reality as chemical, physical, or even purely mathematical phenomena.

>/lit/ server, had a distinct name, but I forgot it
>his username was "F."
>would just randomly chime in to rant about fluoride, chemtrails, and whatnot
>your regular conspiracy stuff (I'm not disagreeing with it)
>one day some guys says he enjoyed F. Gardner's books
>"F." thanks him
>After that "F." sometimes posts about his (back then) new book, whatever it was
That's it.

You have no idea how much I wish you didn't exist, Gardner.
You're a seething schizo samefagging demotivational failed-crab sadcringe lolcow pseud.
You are literally a waste of oxygen, and no one is fooled by your constant shill-spamming.
If /lit/ had ID-tags like /pol/ does, to reveal samefagging, you would be revealed instantly.

Picrel is the house where you shot all your stupid videos.
But putting that image into Google "search by image" reveals it was sold on December 12.
Further Googling reveals your parents have new addresses, across the street from each other, in a nice-looking rural area, but your address hasn't updated.
Are you homeless? Couch surfing? Institutionalized? In hospice for alcohol-related multiple organ failure?
You like talking about yourself so much...why won't you talk about this?

I've tried to Call of the Crocodild but gace up a few pages in because of the fanfiction-tier writing and dialogue.

Still gonna finish it regardless because Im on page 144.

If it’s so bad it’s good, it’s because the plot and characters are so jarring. The twist is the most memorable part of the book in my opinion. Overall Call of the Arcade was better mostly because of the villain Sam.

F Gardner invented a new genre of horror. Nothing else really does this tactic. He’s a literary pioneer

Starting with sensory information we would need to be able to sense the full possible spectrum of data with our senses

Obsession like this is the kind of obsession only a jannie would risk posting.

It's a meme at this point.
