    I for one, welcome this development in ancient horrors. Modern horrors feel like they’ve jumped the shark a bit, tbh.

      There was some 90s Goth/industrial band who sampled that line “we’re not who we are” in a song and I can’t for the LIFE of me remember who it was.

    Weird, I have this, but it’s on my 2024 bingo card. Do you think it was a printing error, or will it really take the worm at least another 5+ months to establish itself?

    If this worm was even nearly as dangerous as people keep pretending, it probably would still be around like other dangerous things like malaria.
