a/n: hiii ! omg this is my first ever fanfic and asdhfsdfjhgdhjfs i'm super scared and excited rn. i just wanna say tysm for taking the time to read this and especially thank you to @samuel-de-champagne-problems, @jemilyisms and @spencerreidat3am for taking a look at my drafts ! i totally was not projecting onto reader, the entire time, and writing about my real-life scenario where my i'm in love with my best friend and she doesn't like me back ahahahah. anyways if anyone wants to cry about unrequited love come to me and lets cry together. the title is based on this stardust quote and idk it kinda fits the theme of unknown unrequited love - ahhh i'm just waffling at this point. i hope you enjoy the fic :) <3 !

it had been a couple weeks since you’d last hung out with Spencer by yourself. after forcing him to re-watch your favourite film ‘stardust’ for the 80th time together, you found yourself tucked away in his arms; his hands tracing circles gently against your back, whilst you both lay on the sofa.

you’d almost confessed there and then.

it hadn’t been the first time that you both sought each other out whilst watching a film; you were always almost touching in some way or another. a head on a shoulder. legs draped across one another. pinkies intertwined. it had taken him a long time to get used to your love language, touch, and now you both of you couldn’t go too long without touching each other in some way. platonically of course.

but this time you could barely suppress your feelings – the overwhelming urge to look up at him and tell him there and then that you were in love with him. Spencer Walter Reid.

Some of my favorite NON Fabio Johanna Lindsey covers!

I love how very nude most of these men are.

Why aren’t painted book covers a thing any more? WHY!

Also, I have two of these, and I treasure them!

@hollynotebooklover job paul is an artist who actually paints a lot of book covers for romance novels!!! Two of these were covers of some Sophie Jordan books, one was a suzanne Enoch book, the others are ones I’ve seen but can’t remember right at this second. But he’s done covers for everyone from Vivienne lorret to cathy Maxwell. It’s certainly a different vibe then the classic romance covers, more hyper realistic but still painted! He is one of my all time favorite artists!

@spence-imagines I finally did it!!

Haunted by Chuck Pahlaniuk

I want to start this by saying I’ve never read anything else by this author. Not even fight club. And I probably never ever will.

I went into this book expecting horror and gore and grossness. Not to be bombarded with incredibly high handed and inaccurate views on society and humanity as a whole.

That’s not to say you don’t get the horror and the gross factor. To an extreme in some parts. This is where I will tag the triggers. Because there are a lot. Body horror, sexual deviancy including pedophilia and children masturbating (those are the only things that have popped up sexually so far at halfway through), the infamous chapter ‘guts’ includes quite a bit of gruesome gore, though it didn’t bother me much. That’s what I’ve got so far but they are some pretty big ones if they are things that might trigger you. The pedophilia was a bit of a trigger for me and it was not subtle.

On a different, more critical note, I do not read horror to be spploonfed 'edgy’ viewpoints on society. I, and everybody else in the world, knows that society has problems. If it’s really something you want in your story, show it. Don’t REPEATEDLY tell me what’s wrong with me and every other human being in society. It is tedious, it is obnoxious and I feel like I’m talking to some seriously WOKE college student who is just regurgitating what they see on the news and read in super “deep” articles. No thanks.

And the characters. I can see what chuck was trying to accomplish. He was trying to make a set of characters that are not one sided and aren’t good that we supposedly should be able to empathize with regardless of the fact that they have a dark side. The problem is the execution. They are NOT multifaceted, morally grey characters I think chuck was going for. Every single character is simply put, terrible. They do not have good sides, they are selfish, they are greedy, they are stupid, and not a single one of them has an ounce of common sense. They are treating their “captor” (who they went with willingly knowing they’d be in this retreat for 3 months???) As if he is doing something terrible, but the fact is they AGREED to this. The story revolves around every single one of the characters sabotaging themselves to make the story more interesting. I don’t know a single person who acts the way they do? And they are all representing stereotypes, which makes them even more one dimensional.

I have yet to finish this book and after the chapter I just read I am not sure I’m even going to.

I would not recommend this book to a single person. It is not entertaining, the only truly horrifying aspect of this book is the writing and the social commentary, and I do not want a single character to live through this ordeal.

1/5 stars.
