  • Everybody talking about the anus book, while I’m really fascinated by the book about juggalos.

    Nights and Days in a Dark Carnival is Craven Rock’s manically-researched delve into the world of the Juggalos, the clown-painted fans of the rap group Insane Clown Posse. After years of obsession with the culture, Rock travels as an undercover journalist to the Gathering of the Juggalos summer festival and takes a drug-addled, drunken, and sleazy descent into the Juggalos’ world, along the way trying to figure out ¬first-hand what attracts people to this ever-growing subculture. Collected from hazy recollections, questionable memories, and awkward interviews, Nights and Days in a Dark Carnival is a wild ride that looks deeper into the phenomenon than anything that’s come before. Rock participates in the debauchery, while also examining the intricately-linked elements of class, faith, violence, and internal marketing embedded within the culture and exploring what it all says about American culture as a whole.

    Agreed, narrowed eyes mean they trust you. Ears back would mean anger, those ears look relaxed. Yet all cats are different and if OP says they’re angry presumably there’s a reason why. Maybe the cat’s tail is twitching? If so I think this expression is more like “exasperated about something annoying done by a loved one” and they’re dealing with it by retreating to a space that feels comforting and that is close to the loved one. If a cat stares at you, it usually means something related to you. So I’d guess the cat is saying: “I love you even though you’re being really annoying right now.”
