Can there be jumpscares in a book?

Judge Holden is like the Joker of books...

The book ends with Judge Holden . . . anally raping the kid while they're both in a poopy outhouse . . .
. . .
Why is this considered a good book?!?!?!

what is your take on normies obsessing on blood meridian recently?

typical cycle of normies breaking away normal golem cycle and consuming edgier fiction only to be scared away and returning back to their easily consumable slop?

Will he ever be topped as an antagonist?

Sometimes struggle reading fiction because of boredom, think in anime anesthetic. Can read a lot of pages with little difficulty. Find reading fun, again.

I know /lit/'s opinion on it is probably that it's a lowest-CD pseud book, so I guess I'm a lowest common denominator pseud. This book genuinely touched me in a way that no book has since I was a kid. The cosmic imagery, the way the judge is written (Le egg man and his pet retard weren't scary when I was reading it in broad daylight but I admit that it all kind of incubated in me over the course of the day so that when I was going to sleep I was freaked the fuck out about the judge), and the dancing-bear ending. All of that. This one's going to stick with me, bros.
