You're quite welcome - I'd hoped I'd be on my feet before this, but I'm going to try to put down a few more thoughts, if I may:

One - the way themes are woven together is fantastic. I can only imagine this one has been cooking in your mind for some time, as there are so many little details I don't know if the readers will notice - hell, I'm not sure if I notice them all. Lavish, is the word I want to use to describe it all. LMESKD itself is a paranoia-enducing enigma, and the snippets of film we see are equal parts wondrous and nauseous - which makes them hit harder home.

Two - I guess I have a weakness for people who collect things, but seriously - stories like this hit home for me. Back when I was younger, before I read the Ring series, I watched the (somewhat lacking, okay, very lacking) American film version pretty much endlessly for reasons - the same feeling I had then, of a terrible sense of actions leading to unavoidable consequences, was here. And I loved it.

Three - Maybe this is just a paranoid thing, ahaha - but all the references and callbacks to other unexplained phenomona, out-of-place time, the bizarrely crazy-quilt state of affairs up until the ending... it all felt a hairs breadth away from happening and that made everything so much better, more vivid.

I realize this might not be my most coherent feedback, as I've been a little under the weather recently - but I really loved it, and I'm glad I could give feedback to a work that had so much effort put into it, and made me think as much as LMESKD did.
