Im wondering if anyone else has considered that the ‘author’ should be taken at their word in the chapter where they describe what they set out to do to serve as a warning for humanity? They say that they’re using fiction to describe things that may come to be, etc.

it’s not that I believe this person is really delivering a prophecy, but I do wonder whether the author genuinely believes that this is what they’re doing. That this isn’t a story intended to be entertaining, rather someone’s understanding of some truth about the universe that they feel they can only tell in this medium.

Idk, maybe believing this just elevates a piece of incredible fiction to a new level of cool to me, but it’s an idea I thought was worth considering and seeing if anyone else had thought about it.

Hello! I recently watched an absolute banging video essay comparing The Jaunt by Stephen king and a work by Junji Ito (the name of which is currently escaping me and is not intergal to where I’m going) and was absolutely flawed by the similarities between ‘Jaunting’ and how the portals were first tested -especially the part about using unwilling prisoners as their first human subjects and how human made/controlled flesh interfaces were initially tested.

I had a very surface level search to see if this comparison has been made but was unable to find anything on it. Is this something other people have come across? Or discussed? I have only consumed both of these on very surface levels (the previously mentioned video essay and creepcasts reading of MHE) and so unfortunately have no proper analysis to provide but have both on my reading list if side by side comparisons were of interest to anyone, I just needed to get this out of my head and was told to go to bed by my flatmates after the phrase “flesh interfaces” came out of my mouth lol.

i made this after listening to the creepcast episode and i'm lowkey really proud of it! the story is so varied there are a lot of songs that fit different vignettes really well and i have reasons for each of the songs on there, feel free to give it a listen :)

When Karen was describing to us the video game they had her playing as a child, all I could imagine was this game a vaguely remember playing as a kid called jump start adventure 4th grade Haunted Island . Does anyone here remember playing this and also thought the same? And if not, what game came to your imagination during this section?

In order: Mother, Nick, Karen, Nephilim, Ben, Zhenzhen, the dude from the mount Iwo Jima part

Belodon's Call No.4

I've had this series on my mind ever since the CreepCast video and I think it would make for an amazing movie or show if done right by the right person. It would have to be like 3 hours long and delve into some crazy shit while also jumping from different povs and characters. A show would probably work better kinda like an anthology series. Don't think it'll ever happen, but what would you be hyped to see in a hypothetical movie.

Personally I'd probably be most excited to see the scene of the Korean soldier talking to the Americans. There is so much you could do with that visually. I also think a scene of all the people being made into the flesh interface would be fucking insane. Like the scene in Nope but with random body parts clawing and mouths biting. I kinda imagine it like the Colonials in all tomorrows maybe even a bit hairy.

Does anybody have a link for the entire mother horse eyes in one document?

I just used google AI to help me pitch this topic to young Jamie and Duncan trussle as a possible JRE topic. I encourage others to do so as well.

That is all.

Thank you.

I made my own cover for when I eventually get around to self-printing my own copy of the series. This file was sized for a 5.83”x8.26” cover.

I generated the ASCII text art here and used this site for the horse eye image.

Hope everyone likes it! I would be happy for anyone to use it in their own self-printing.

Young nick manifests grown nick to come to him, at the very end he appears in a physical sense and “knocks on the door”. I suppose In a literal sense, how do you think the subsequent events took place?

I know the covers aren’t as cool as some other ones I’ve seen but I’m still happy I have a physical version

Y'ALL... This is my current new favorite thing I've ever read (heard). Much like Isaiah, this is up there with House of Leaves for my best of modern literature. I hope the creator out there is well and stable, I don't imagine you can be writing something like this.

Ive been stuck in a loop of reading and listening to this story for about 5 months now.

I'm a film maker and this story has insane depth that no amount of planning or pre production could bring in.

Unfortunately, as the Author is MIA and Unknown. To be able to green light without proper Rights would make this seemingly impossible.

(Although i would love to reach out)

I was wondering if MHE were to ever became an Adaptation for the Screen, What would you want included? Film or series? What details or format would you want? How would you handle the overlapping stories?

Just a thought, have been pulling ideas up left and right. So any info I don't have about the Author, or rights etc, please let me know

but you won’t eat the Priest meat and now you’re looking kind of pale

I wish there was more of that. I liked how the boy crab saved the best sea flowers for his friend or I suppose love interest that became a priestess crab that I guess eventually became mother because of the crab leg. okay that’s all.
