You (collective) are here for me so much ^whether^ ^you^ ^want^ ^or^ ^not^, so I want to make sure you know I'm here for you too. If you have any vents and don't want to make a thread for them, I'm here. :3

Oh I did not know, but seeing the definition I recognise it though I don't think I've read anything slipstream. Neat!

I love that, I despise most slashers so swapping screaming teens and movie monsters for existential strangeness, genre blending and magical realism(ish) stuff seems ideal to me. I am familiar with the Weird Fic/New Weird Horror term from reading The Drowning Girl by Caitlin R Kiernan when I was young. It really stuck with me, it's goated, I have long meant to read more New Weird Horror/etc

Of course, happy to humour and I've always got a casual eye out for actual quality horror stuff, that isn't just Friday the 13th or fuckin, The Conjuring or whatever. I tend to prefer books/written word(so like web stuff, manga even), but does anything come to mind of the top of your head that you'd be itching to rec?

Yes actually! One of my favorites is Matt Dimersky, he wrote some shorts on nosleep under the handle M59Gar. One that sticks out as being particularly amazing is Stuck. Long-form books is the horror medium I’ve consumed the least, unfortunately.
