mediocre and badly written — if you like books that feels like a high schooler wrote it, you’ll probably love this. on the plus side it’s extremely quick to read 👍

david lynch really was one of a kind <3 this was genuinely such a delightful read and the audiobook is definitely worth it! it was so interesting to hear kristine mckenna’s research first and then have david lynch talk about it afterwards. in his own words. it was honestly so immersive and it felt like you were having a direct one on one conversation with him. 

it’s definitely a must-read for lynch fans but it’s just as interesting for anyone who’s interested in movie making and the life of someone as unique as david lynch.

oof, calling this horror is a disservice to the novella and will only leave readers disappointed.

the novella is focused around the mystery of a newly dug hole at a disused cemetery and the main cast of ragtag nightshift workers trying to solve the mystery. it’s pretty short, mostly not /that/ exciting to read, but it was well written i suppose. i mean, i didn't hate it, but it’s not amazing. i definitely liked the idea more than the execution which is a shame.
