Extremely unfair that John Darnielle is one of the great modern songwriters AND novelists.

Always, always The Wasp Factory at 15. An English teacher handed it to me after reading something I'd written, saying "i think you'll like this" and it blew my tiny teenage mind.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Fantastic Four is mostly rubbish. Well made in parts, but nowhere near as kitsch as it needed to be to nail the golden age vibe it wanted. An absolutely wasted Ralph Ineson, and extremely ropey CGI detracts from an already flimsy story that feels like the finale to a five season long show. Boring.
