Recs if you like Fairy Tale...

The SCP is an organization that Secures, Contains, and Protects our world against anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena.

Stephen King's bibliography, in publishing order. Includes novels, collections, and nonfiction.

These books either have a main character or main side character who's important to the plot with deaf and/or hard of hearing rep! 🙉👂🔕 I haven't read all of these, but I have read a good chunk, so I'm always happy to talk with anyone about them & recs are always appreciated! 💜

One of my favorite newly-discovered tropes is that of the reluctant hero. They're not a chosen one, not good at everything right away, don't want to be saving the world. They're dragged kicking and screaming on adventures, complaining about it the whole way, and maybe even suck at the job they have to do at first.

Only including the first book in a series unless they're standalones. Suggestions for all fiction genres welcome!

This is a list of all Stephen King novels and novellas in publication order (which I've heard multiple people say is the best way to read through all of King's work). This list also includes books written under his pen name of Richard Bockman.

Dropout's Dimension 20 has maybe my favorite campaign of DND ever, Neverafter! A dark, twisted story full of fairytales. Storytelling about stories, destiny, and what it means to grow beyond the well known tales.

Horror and thriller recommendations for fellow spooky dudes. ♥

Hey, was that door always there? What could be hiding behind it? Should you open it? Adventure may await you if you dare!

'Door' is loosely used for some of these, but the result is the same: the world you find yourself in is not the same as the one you are from.

Suggestions appreciated! 💫

Thrillers, slashers, and horrors that keep you reading! First of series and stand-alones only.
