Mjh deserves this and more. Viriconium is a portal to ultravivid, unrelenting dread. Can't recommend it enough.

Do not want anything related to dread. I’ve got enough of that in my life.

Thanks for the warning!

"A Young Man's Journey to Viriconium" is one of the most amazing things I've ever read. Especially when you read it alongside Climbers, and spot that the same bit of text is being used to mean two completely different things, to do completely different work.
