There are creatures that thrive on #positivity and others that #fear on misery.
In this short (3 min) episode, I'll tell you about the rapture and #horror of two tiny parasites that do just that.

And to support other #IndieAuthor, I’m also co-founder of the site IndieStoryGeek.com which is built to help readers discover self-published, small press, & web serials they might enjoy. The visual review system tries to categorize the style of storytelling to help readers find books they're in the mood for. It’s the largest indie-only story listing I know of & is constantly growing.

Having worked in bookstores in the late 1980s and again in the early aughts, I can say that #bookish customers have not changed. They're the main joy of working in a #bookstore.

"I’m extremely eager to continue reading Cameron’s work, his writing is of a kind I connect very well with..."

' One’s library should therefore contain not just what one knows, but much more of what one doesn’t yet know. “Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection of unread books an antilibrary.” '
"The Pew Research Center conducts a lot of detailed research and statistical analysis in the United States of America. Their study published in 2016 found that 72% of Americans had read a book the preceding year, a number that rose to 75% in 2022. This increase is likely attributed to the pandemic and how much more time everyone was spending at home. That same 2016 publication showed that on average, Americans read 12 books a year."

Since I’m new here I thought I’d introduce myself!
I’m K.B. Carle (K.B. Is fine) and I write #flashfiction, especially when it comes to exploring weird worlds, experimental forms, both told from unique perspectives.
I live just outside #philadelphia where I often devour milky ways, twizzlers, and flavored tootsie rolls while I #write.
Outside of #writing, I love #animals (especially dogs), #dragonage, #masseffect, #antiques, #cartoons, #art (though I can’t draw) and all #Bookish things!

This is my first Musil and I have to say I'm smitten. I love his precise, deliberate prose and the playfulness of each story but then, of course, they can devastate with the exactness of a scalpel. "Flypaper", a musing on flies trapped until death was particularly annihilatory, if at first amusing.
I guess this means his multipart tome, A Man Without Consequences, stays on my TBR.
