DEAR STUPID PENPAL - a novel by Rascal Hartley (softcover + eBook) Atticus β€œFinch” Davani does not want to be an astronaut. He hates space, he hates the ship, and he strongly dislikes his fellow crew members. He makes that painfully clear in his letters to Aku, his c...

DEAR STUPID PENPAL gives β€œstar-crossed lovers” a whole new meaning. If you want a little hope in your horror, you should give DSP a read.

Their romance seems doomed from the start. As the Hephaestus speeds up, and the time distortion makes it so that a month, a year, a decade passes by on Earth for every day on Finch’s ship, the crew’s penpals start to die. Every one except for Aku. More than 100 years later, he’s still there.

And even then, he’s kind of ambivalent about having a penpal to begin with. But as the two talk, they start to bond, and after the Hephaeustus engages its hyperdrive, Finch learns that time isn’t passing the same for him as it is for Aku. Things start getting weird at near-FTL speeds.

Atticus β€œFinch” Davani is a reluctant passenger on the Hephaestus, a scientific research vessel on a long-haul journey out of our solar system. He hates being an astronaut, he hates his crew mates, and he hates space. All he has is his corporate mandated penpal back on Earth, Aku.

β€”which was my first exposure to what I’m assuming is called horromance [and if it isn’t, it should be]). DEAR STUPID PENPAL surprised me, because while there’s cosmic terror and terrifying implications regarding the infinite nature of space and time, DSP is a love story. And it’s very cute.

DEAR STUPID PENPAL, by @rascalhartley.bsky.social

If I had a nickel for every time I read an epistolary horror novel where two men fall in love, I’d have two nickels, which isnt a lot, but its cool that it happened twice. (Shoutout to @lormaggot.ca & @shelleylavigne.bsky.social 's Flesh of the Seaβ€”

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

As this is an American History class, we will spend all of our time on the wars that America "won," mysteriously running out of time before we can cover the latest 40 years, a period in which your country has persistently lost every war it fought.
