Has anyone read the book Interstellar Pig?
Wintermelon
I read that one and it's sequel (along with tons and tons of other sci-fi/horror/fantasy stuff) from the school library and, idk, lots of those books have really stuck with me
Wintermelon
that includes The Great Divide, Inkheart, the Beasties (that book fucked me up), etc.
TRON
YES IT'S MY FAVORITE BOOK
Wintermelon
NICE
Wintermelon
I DON'T REMEMBER THE DETAILS BUT IT WAS GR8
TRON
IT'S SO COOL
TRON
I didn't care as much for the sequel, but I liked it a little bit better on a second read.
Wintermelon
I remember really liking the sequel, mostly for the section of the book with the crabs and parasites. I remember mostly thinking it was really clever and kinda terrifying
TRON
Yeah, it has some really cool ideas, there were just a few things about it that frustrated me. The new aliens were really neat.
Wintermelon
that is a perfectly reasonable point!
veth
yesssss William Sleator is real real good at making stuff stick in your head
Wintermelon
absolutely
TRON
Have you read Singularity by William Sleator?
Wintermelon
hmmm... I don't recall!
TRON
It's pretty cool and feels a little Gravity Falls-ish, it's about a set of twins going to a deceased relative's house and finding something weird going on.
Wintermelon
oooh neat!
sailor bii
I love Singularity
sailor bii
I might have read interstellar pig?
Wintermelon
They're all really interesting books
sailor bii
but Singularity is the Sleator book that stuck with me
Wintermelon
There's another one I can't remember where a girl woke up one morning to an ocean outside her house and like her brother turned into a bird and such
TRON

🐷 Pɪɢsᴀᴡ 🪚
is it about a spacefaring piggy?
Wintermelon
it is about, I think, a game of interstellar hide-and-seek essentially
veth
And a board game!
Wintermelon
oh, yes!
Wintermelon
and cards and the threatened obliteration of many planets
🐷 Pɪɢsᴀᴡ 🪚
but no actual pigs?
Wintermelon
I don't think so
Wintermelon
brain-eating parasites tho
