Summer of Night/Dan Simmons

I was 9. Loved horror ever since but this was probably not an appropriate read...
A blurry screenshot of the cover of the book Summer of Night by Dan Simmons. Pictured is a giant moon surrounded by whispy eels above an ominous looking building with a green lit tower. Framed by dead trees.

My (blak) mother's insights are spot on as usual
(identity obscured) mum: she's a zealot. Like JD Vance. Me: yep. And not very bright Mum: it's one of those things where a privileged minority person thinks that their path is the only path. Vance and his hillbilly roots. Thatcher and her shopkeeper parents. All zealots. Me: bootstrap bullshit Mum: exactly. The biggest thing you should come to understand is your own privilege and how not everyone has your capacity to achieve. It's what Jacinta didn't get.

And fucking young liberals they make me spew

I really only know the difference because we have a local family that comes to visit
4 Ravens sitting on power lines. The sky is very blue with some scattered white clouds, and there are two trees rising up from the bottom of the frame.

Gin Gin appear to have a local Facebook group that happens to be public and active. You could post there. One of the few things Meta is still useful for.
