Meet Your Maker by Faetooth

A little detail I loved in "Beach Reads": When Patricia first finds the Your Turn book, a fly circles it — the way flies circle something rotten or smelly. Odd, because the book looks brand new, pristine, untouched. Then the twist hits. It is rotten. What Patricia saw as a clean, modern copy is actually an ancient spell book in disguise— and it's been that way from the start. The dark magic was already working on her before she even knew what she was holding.

“One of the writers had this idea of a self-help book that goes wrong, and it started a conversation about, ‘What are Patricia’s fears?' One thing I always think about with Patricia is the thing that is scarier to her than the idea of dying is the idea of dying and no one caring about it. That brought in the one thing we always try to do when we’re using these horror tropes, which is tell a story about a character who is feeling very real, human emotions.” — creator Katie Dippold for The Wrap.

would you ever want to share a book/essay etc list about dolls? saw you reference a few writings in your response to other asks would be cool if you shared the stuff you’ve read. I have a very similar fascination

here is a few off the top of my head: edison’s eve (highly recommend, no pdf)

on the marionette theatre - pdf

almost human - dolls and robots in contemporary art - pdf

a study of dolls - pdf

on longing - narratives of the miniature (dollhouses) - pdf

i may be missing some but i can add to this. i may put together a list of media/technology/surveillance as well as i have quite a few collected. also i highly recommend the book “what do pictures want?” by w.j. t. mitchell. not related to dolls but it talks on the agency of the image which relates so much to dolls imo.

hii ! 2, 4 and 14 for the book asks? :-)

2. top 5 books of all time?

i rlly don’t think im nearly well read enough to say with confidence what my 5 fav books of all time are as someone who only averages about 30-40 books a year tbqh! 🙂‍↕️ uhm for one the titular earthlings of course, but outside of the books i have listed in my bio i’d add the bloody chamber: it was a foundational text for me that i first read in high school! fav books I’ve read just this year though would probably be my dark vanessa, lolita, and catcher in the rye :)

4. what sections of a bookstore do you browse?

the litfic & history sections sorry for the basic & predictable tumblrina response here LOL i do also enjoy perusing the photography & nature / general non fiction academic section it’s very fun what you can find there!

14. do you ever mark/dog ear books you own?

it was a constant habit as a kid but no longer! unless it’s second hand or a copy I intend to mark up I prefer to keep the books I buy pristine (I do 90% of my reading through e-books though so this very rarely applies haha)
