And to finally touch on the Clam Identification Guide; I finally was able to break out my gloves and equipment to treat this read with the care it deserves — I was worried that such a powerful read could make me lose days reading considering even just the excerpt out of the book’s sleeve.
My solution to my reading worries was to open the book with gloves, and to remove any residue with alcohol as not to transfer it to any unwanted surfaces. I read a small excerpt (125ug of words

) first to see if it’s as I remembered, and goodness me if memories of 2016 didn’t come flooding back lmao. In the evening yesterday, I decided to read a bit more as I had no responsibilities for the day, and I read the same amount, just multiple times spaced out so I could absorb the reading, and honestly it really does seem to be THE limited edition novel of yore.
Any concerns w/ potency that people have expressed could be down to an incomplete printing leaving some printing byproducts behind, or even could be vintage prints, but at this stage, I’m just glad to see reading that was otherwise unobtainium landing back home


everyone
please read responsibly though, I hope that our friends who just lick their fingers after opening their mags/books don’t do that w/ such special reading as this, and for those who already have, I hope they’re good bc this is definitely real deal.
Safe reading everyone, and don’t forget to take care of yourselves and not get too wrapped up in the reading; there’s already a few users on here that it seems have forgotten their own safety’s importance and I want all of us to enjoy the wonders of these novels together safely and healthily.
All in all, I’ve gotta give FX an 11/10 just for bringing this nostalgic as fuck reading back into my life; I haven’t even opened the Brom Stoker mag yet because it got sealed to the package lol, but my Clam ID Guide and Tizzy’s writings were absolutely the stars in my eye anyways, Brom Stoker’s writing could be shit and I’d be unable to care less (however I will report back on that at a later date).
FX IS THE REAL DEAL YALL.
