Welcome to Litsy!

This one started out bizarre and good but by the end was just bizarre. It has elements of Lindqvist's other novels in it and purports to be a description of the experiences that led him to become a horror writer (appeasing the monster), but I am deeply skeptical. It is an interesting look at the concept of the monster within, which Lindqvist explores at length in his novels, as well as the idea of unintended consequences.

My children are recording for a music competition. I brought my book, but my "proud mama" emotions are making it hard to focus on reading. This is the first time since the pandemic began that my daughter has played with a live accompanist and the first time my son ever has, and I am just amazed at the progress they've made in their playing, even with all the stress and uncertainty of the past year and a half.
