The original member of our horror book club had a baby, so in her honor we are dedicating a year to #childhorror. We officially started in Dec. with Sealed, which, as @Reggie said, is a book that could convince you not to get pregnant.

The everyday anxiety when early pregnant is exacerbated by isolation, loneliness, oh, and the looming threat of a skin sealing epidemic.

How do you have enough hope to reproduce on a polluted, dying planet?

I read and enjoyed this back around 1980, but avoided revisiting it because I remembered a libertarian/gun-rights theme that I'd now find irksome. Which is true a little, but it's hard to stay irked by something so bonkers. For me this is peak Van Vogt: so packed with ideas it can't be bothered with things like consistency, craft or common sense: a hot mess that tips “hot“ enough to be enjoyable still

Finished my official 'Now' read, although I read/watched a lot more. (Post to come.) Yes there was a lot of verbatim Pride and Prejudice but overall I found it fun. Particularly loved the additional art work.

Inside his decision-making software there were two subroutines in the shape of wolves, and one insisted that he stay, and the other insisted that he could not stay. Neither of which seemed to be natural behavior for wolves, but Uncharles could only assume this was another aspect of his undiagnosed defect.

He let them fight until one ate the other.

Absolutely loved this, just ridiculously fun. And fantastic audio reading by Wil Wheaton, as usual. Hyper intelligent cats, unionizing dolphins, bumbling villainous henchmen, what‘s not to love? Mad that I waited so long to read it.

And with that, Series 3 of Dalek Empire concludes. I continue to think Galanar displays some Tenth Doctor vibes at times. His last little speech had a touch of the Fifth about it (from “Earthshock”, where Five describes to the Cyber Leader the value of emotions).
