I was planning on continuing writing and upping these in 13 review chunks, and I probably should push myself to do that given I was 60+ reviews behind before today, but because writing that many reviews that fast takes a toll on you after a while, I’ll dial it back to 7 review chunks.

From that point I was a horror hound and hooked for life. Like all long time Constant Readers I […]
