Why Butcher and Blackbird Didn't Work For Me

Why Butcher and Blackbird didn't work for me (from the perspective of a horror reader/fan) Welcome to the ramble channel, you can call me Stray, and this is a place where I just yap into the void about books or manga that have caught my interest. Today, my dear hostages, I'm yapping about a book I unfortunately felt underwhelmed by. ⛧°. ⋆༺☾𖤓༻⋆. °⛧ DISCLAIMER: Please DO NOT harass anyone mentioned in this video, ESPECIALLY the author. This video is entirely an opinion piece based off of personal preferences and experiences. What didn't work for me, may work for you, and that's okay. Also, I am not a spoiler free channel! Full spoilers all the way! ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ ꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷ This video encases me, your host, Stray, rambling about my unfortunate negative experience with Butcher and Blackbird in a relatively unserious manner. I also go over the points I felt that it fell flat on and provide examples of dynamics and stories that I believe succeeded in what Butcher and Blackbird was trying to convey. Again, all matter of opinion. Some of it may be viewed as controversial ⛧°. ⋆༺☾𖤓༻⋆. °⛧ Time Stamps: 00:00 Intro 00:45 Disclaimer 01:13 Background 02:19 After the TMI/Journal Factory Exploded 02:40 Paraphrased Synopsis 3:23 Book Publishing Info/Special Edition 5:11 Hallmark Horror--It's not that scary, y'all 6:00 Letting myself be deluded by reviews 7:55 It doesn't really work as a love letter to the slasher genre 8:52 Rowan and Sloane's characterization left something to be desired 11:42 Rambling of my other gripes 16:37 Why the slow burn didn't work for me (and media I think handled it better) 19:13 Hot Take- A 300 page slow burn doesn't exist 21:20 End Apothecary Diaries spoilers 22:30 Final words ⛧°. ⋆༺☾𖤓༻⋆. °⛧ ⛧°. ⋆༺☾𖤓༻⋆. °⛧ Fable Plug: https://fable.co/fabler/read-astray-3...
