Daytona Beach is one of the most iconic vacation spots in the Southeast. It has long been a hub for spring break travelers‚ beachgoers‚ and race fans.

The post Pyrantel for Cats: Dosage‚ Uses‚ Side Effects (Vet Answer) by Dr. Emma Chandley‚ BVetMed MRCVS (Vet) appeared first on Catster. Copying over entire articles infringes on copyright laws.

Pyrantel pamoate is an anthelmintic (dewormer) drug that is frequently used in cats‚ dogs‚ small animals‚ and birds. Its use is “off-label” in cats but many vets safely prescribe it as an effective treatment. Pyrantel can be used on its own or in combination with other anti-parasite drugs for the treatment of heartworm and intestinal parasites. What Is Pyrantel? Pyrantel pamoate is a popular anthelmintic deworming drug. It is commonly used in cats to combat hookworms‚ intestinal roundworms‚ and stomach worms. Pyrantel is also used in other species such as rabbits and birds “off label.” Pyrantel acts as a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent. It works by causing sudden contraction followed by paralysis of the worms. This means they cannot latch onto the lining of the cat’s intestines‚ so they are removed from the body as the contents of the guts are moved down the gastrointestinal tract. Pyrantel is not well absorbed by the cat’s intestines‚ so the cat is unaffected by the drug. The worms are usually passed out along with the feces. Occasionally vomiting and diarrhea can be seen. Your cat may stretch out their abdomen and strain when passing larger worm burdens due to the space it occupies. Pyrantel in cats is used for the treatment and prevention of hookworms and roundworms. It cannot be used to treat tapeworms or whipworms. Pyrantel pamoate should be stored away from direct sunlight‚ in a closed container. It should be kept at room temperature—approximately 15°C–30°C or 59°F–86°F. It should always be kept out of reach of children and pets in an appropriate child and pet-proof container. How Is Pyrantel for Cats Given? Pyrantel pamoate comes in various forms so you can decide which one is best for your cat. You can use capsules‚ tablets‚ chewable tablets‚ and a liquid suspension. The usual dose for Pyrantel pamoate is 2.5 to 5 mg per pound (which is 5 to 10 mg per kilogram) as a single dose‚ then a repeated dose in 2 to 4 weeks. Ensure you give the product for the correct length of time as recommended by your vet. Pyrantel pamoate is dosed by the oral route. It can be given with or without food. If your cat vomits after receiving the drug on an empty stomach‚ it may be suggested that you give it with food after this. If your cat does vomit‚ consult your vet for advice. If you are using the liquid form‚ ensure you shake well before administering it to your cat. Extra care must be taken when measuring out liquid amounts. Always ensure that you consult your vet before giving any products that contain pyrantel pamoate and always keep to the dosing instructions given by your vet. Image Credit: thodonal88‚ Shutterstock What Happens If You Miss a Dose? It is not the end of the world if you miss a dose of Pyrantel. You can give the dose when you remember or as soon as you are able to. This is acceptable unless the next dose is due‚ then you must only dose once and miss a dose. Once you have given the later dose‚ you must wait the appropriate period as recommended by your vet before dosing again. Do not give two doses at once or give any more doses than what is recommended by your vet. Pyrantel is normally very well tolerated by cats‚ but if there are signs of toxicity‚ or you think you have overdosed them‚ you may notice signs such as: Breathing difficulties Lethargy Hypersalivation Vomiting Diarrhea Disorientation Weakness Collapse If you see any of these signs‚ contact your vet immediately. You can also contact the Pet Poison Helpline or Animal Poison Control Centre. Pet Poison Helpline (855) 764-7661 ASPCA Animal Poison Control (888) 426-4435 Potential Side Effects of Pyrantel There are very few side effects of Pyrantel pamoate as long as the drug is dosed correctly. However‚ as with all drugs‚ there are always some clinical signs seen in some cases. These may include: Vomiting Diarrhea Nausea Loss of appetite Other side effects that are not directly related to the drug but occur due to the action of the drug can also include intestinal obstruction. This happens if a heavy worm load is present. The obstruction usually occurs due to an impaction of the worms. It is more commonly seen when a smaller cat with a big parasite burden is treated. This is because pyrantel is a spastic paralyzing agent. It causes all of the worms to release their latch on the lining of the intestinal wall and be expelled together. This can cause vomiting‚ diarrhea‚ and heavy straining. The medication usually takes 24 hours to take effect‚ so these signs should stop then. If they do not‚ consult your vet for advice. Caution should be taken if using pyrantel in elderly or very weak patients‚ or any cats with an underlying health disease. It is safe to use pyrantel in cats that are nursing their young. Consult your vet to discuss the specific safety guidelines for the use of pyrantel in pregnant queens as there are different dosing instructions that need to be followed. In very rare cases‚ pyrantel can be toxic if used over a long period. If you are worried your cat may be suffering from an adverse reaction to the product‚ consult your vet immediately. Frequently Asked Questions Which worms does pyrantel pamoate treat in cats? Image Credit; Todorean-Gabriel‚ Shutterstock Pyrantel pamoate is used mainly for the treatment of a group of worms called ascarids. These include roundworms such as Toxicara cati and hookworms‚ such as Ancylostoma tubaeforme‚ Ancylostoma braziliense. Which worms are not covered when using Pyrantel? Pyrantel is very effective at treating roundworms‚ however‚ it has a limited spectrum for the treatment of other parasites. If you are using pyrantel‚ you will need to add in something else to cover giardia‚ toxoplasma‚ whipworms‚ tapeworms‚ and coccidia. Your vet will be able to advise you on different treatments that can be used in combination. Why do I see worms in my cat’s feces after using Pyrantel? If you are seeing worms in your cat’s feces after administering pyrantel‚ this is because the drug is working and the worms that have been attached to the lining of your cat’s intestines are now being expelled from the body. This is a normal response to the treatment if intestinal worms are present in your cat. Conclusion Pyrantel is a popular anthelmintic treatment prescribed off-label for use in cats. It is used for the treatment of intestinal roundworms and hookworms. It does not cover many other parasites. Pyrantel is well tolerated in cats and adverse effects are rare unless an overdose is given. If your cat has a very large worm burden‚ they may suffer from intestinal obstruction if they are trying to pass out a lot of worms at one time. Your vet will be able to advise you on doses and frequency of use depending on the weight and age of your cat. Pyrantel must not be used without veterinary instruction.

However‚ we appreciate that you like the article and would love it if you continued sharing just the first paragraph of an article‚ then linking out to the rest of the piece on Catster.com. The Manx cat is a breed of domestic cat originating on the Isle of Man. Although it’s possible for a Manx cat to have a normal length tail‚ the breed is best known for being tailless or having a small stub of a tail. While this unique feature sets the breed apart from other cats‚ it’s also associated with various health issues. Some Manx cats suffer from a range of spinal and neurological defects known as Manx syndrome as a result of their absent or short tails. What Is Manx Syndrome? Manx syndrome is a collection of health issues seen in Manx cats. While the syndrome is most common in Manx cats‚ it’s possible for mixed breed cats without tails to be affected. The syndrome is associated with the Manx breed’s characteristic feature – an absent or shortened tail. The same gene that causes an absent or shortened tail‚ also causes developmental abnormalities of the spinal cord and the nerves supplying the bladder‚ colon‚ hindlimbs‚ and perineal region. As a result‚ cats with Manx syndrome have issues with defecation‚ urination‚ and hind leg movement. Manx cats with a short tail are also prone to painful arthritis in the joints between the deformed tail bones. Not all Manx cats develop Manx syndrome‚ although the likelihood of a cat developing neurological issues is related to how short the tail is. Some Manx cats appear normal‚ apart from their short tails‚ and show no signs of spinal cord issues. Others have major abnormalities of the spine and spinal cord and cannot lead normal lives. Image Credit: Seattle Cat Photo‚ Shutterstock What Are the Signs of Manx Syndrome in Cats? The signs of Manx syndrome vary depending on how severely a cat’s spinal cord is affected. Signs of Manx syndrome include: Absent tail Inability to control the release of urine Secondary urinary tract infections Inability to control the release of feces Constipation due to loss of nerve function Megacolon (distension of the colon) Partial paralysis of the back legs Incoordination of the back legs Lack of sensation of skin around the anus and genitals Rectal prolapse‚ where some of the rectum protrudes and prolapses through the anus What Are the Causes of Manx Syndrome? Manx syndrome is caused by a genetic mutation‚ passed on from parents to their kittens. This genetic mutation causes the abnormal development of the last vertebrae (bones) of the spine that make up the tail. Fetal Development While a kitten is still a fetus‚ the development of the spine is closely linked to the development of the spinal cord. So‚ if a cat has any developmental abnormalities of the spine (like being tail-less or having a shortened tail)‚ there will often be spinal cord abnormalities present. It is these problems of the spinal cord that cause the neurological issues seen in cats with Manx syndrome. Cats with Manx syndrome can have varying degrees of spinal defects and therefore the severity of the condition can vary. Image Credit: Dixon Photography‚ Shutterstock The Role of Genetics Tailless-ness in Manx cats is due to a mutant‚ autosomal dominant gene. “Autosomal” means that the specific gene is located on one of the numbered chromosomes and not on a sex chromosome. The disease is therefore not related to the sex of the cat and both male and female Manx cats can be affected. “Dominant” means that a single copy of the mutated gene (from one parent) is enough to cause the defect. In fact‚ having two copies of the mutated gene causes such severe problems that kittens usually die before they are born. The mutant gene does not always “penetrate fully” or show its full effect‚ therefore different tail lengths are seen. Varying tail lengths carry different descriptions: Rumpy – no tail Rumpy riser – a bump‚ or rump of a tail Stumpy – a small‚ partial tail Stubby – a short tail Tailed or longy – a half-length or normal tail The likelihood of a cat developing issues is directly related to how short the tail is. What Is the Treatment for Manx Syndrome? There is unfortunately no curative treatment for Manx syndrome. Instead‚ treatment is supportive and varies based on the individual cat’s condition. Treatment may include: Stool softeners to treat constipation Manually emptying the bladder of cats that are unable to control their bladders Antibiotics to treat secondary urinary tract infections Daily grooming for cats incapable of controlling their bowels or bladder. Some cats are so badly affected that it’s impossible for them to have a good quality of life. In these cases‚ euthanasia is recommended. How Do I Care for a Cat With Manx Syndrome? Daily grooming is essential for cats that can’t control their bowels or bladder. Chronic contact of the skin with urine or feces can lead to urine scald‚ dermatitis‚ and infections‚ so it’s important to keep your cat clean. You’ll also need to make some changes around the house to help your pet. Make sure that your cat’s food and water bowls are easily accessible‚ and opt for a low-sided‚ spacious litter box to accommodate any mobility challenges that your cat may have. Ramps or steps can help your cat access elevated surfaces like beds or couches. If you have slippery floors‚ it’s worth investing in non-slip rugs to help with grip. Cats with Manx syndrome should be kept indoors. Cats with mobility issues are more vulnerable to attacks by other cats and dogs. They’re also at greater risk of accidents‚ such as falling‚ getting stuck‚ or being hit by vehicles. Manx cats should also receive regular veterinary check-ups to monitor their overall health. Image Credit: Marc Dumont‚ Shutterstock Frequently Asked Questions How is Manx syndrome diagnosed? Although a vet may suspect that a cat has Manx syndrome based on their physical appearance (i.e.‚ an absent or a short tail) and the clinical signs they’re showing‚ diagnostic tests are necessary to confirm the diagnosis and to exclude other diseases that can look similar. These tests include: Physical exam including a neurological exam X-rays Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Myelography to visualize the spinal cord Urinalysis and urine culture Can Manx syndrome be prevented? Manx syndrome can be prevented by no longer breeding tailless cats. Some organizations feel that breeding cats without tails‚ simply for human gratification‚ is unethical. Cats use their tails for balance and to communicate with other cats. There is no benefit to breeding a cat without a tail‚ and in some cases‚ it’s detrimental to the health and wellbeing of the animal because of the associated spinal abnormalities. Conclusion Manx cats are known for their shortened or absent tails. Unfortunately‚ this defining feature is linked to a range of spinal and neurological defects known as Manx syndrome. While not all tailless cats are affected‚ some will develop issues with urination‚ defecation‚ and hindlimb movement. These issues range from mild to severe‚ with the degree of severity depending on how badly the cat’s spinal cord is affected. While there’s no curative treatment for Manx syndrome‚ it’s still possible for some of these animals to enjoy a good quality of life with the right care.

This is some damn fine brightly colored spaceship art. Introduction A year is not a measure of time‚ but of movement. It messed me up when that was pointed out to me‚ and I hope‚ grinning as I write this‚ that I’ve now paid the feeling forward. Time‚ you see‚ is an inescapable component of our universe‚ woven into the fabric of space in ways I don’t fully grasp‚ marching ever forwards and never looking back. A year‚ on the other hand‚ measures a single lap of our planet around the sun. A year itself is broken down into days (which mark the rota.tion of said planet around its axis)‚ weeks (which mean nothing) and months (which roughly match the orbital period of our moon). We’re not measuring time‚ because we can’t‚ not really. Time is ineffable‚ on its own. It can speed up and slow down. It can twist around the edges of black holes. We can’t touch time‚ even though our lives are ruled by it. What we keep track of instead are the changes we possess the ability to perceive. A sunset. A grey hair. A seed splitting into a sprout. Ten years ago‚ my life was quite different. I was living with my wife in her home country of Iceland in a tiny‚ quietly terrible apartment‚ fostering a vitamin D deficiency that would one day make a doctor say ‘no wonder you feel terrible‚’ constantly plugging holes in the sinking ship that was our bank account with paycheck after flimsy paycheck. Good sense dictated I should go get a job at a coffeeshop or whatever and stop trying to make the writing thing happen‚ but I am nothing if not stubborn and a little bit stupid. Instead‚ I hammered away on a nine-inch netbook I could’ve fried an egg on as it perched upon my knees. I was in the midst of my last rewrites for a book‚ the first I’d ever written. I’d promised the Kickstarter backers who’d kept a tiny‚ quietly terrible roof over my head the previous spring that I could do this‚ that I could finish this manuscript and get it out into the world. The trouble was‚ I didn’t know if I actually could. I’d never done this before. And I was scared all the time‚ scared that I would fail‚ scared that my ideas sucked‚ scared that I would let people down. Today‚ I am sitting in the house that my wife and I own in my home state of California. I took my vitamin D capsule with breakfast‚ as I do every morning‚ and I no longer agonize between bills and groceries. I’m writing on a thirteen-inch‚ super-fast laptop resting in glacial calm upon the ergonomic lapdesk that I believe claimed to be made of ‘eco.friendly materials‚’ which I suspect is bullshit in one form or another. If I glance up over the screen‚ there’s a ladder shelf leaning against the opposite wall. It’s got many books on it‚ all of them by me. It’s got notebooks filled cover-to-cover‚ each of which is tabbed and dog-eared and has travelled the world. Alongside these are curios gifted to me by people on those trips – folks at bookstores‚ at conventions‚ over café tables where I couldn’t read the menu and was delighted to try what.ever got put in front of me. There is framed fan art hanging on another wall‚ a pair of Hugos sitting on the mantel downstairs‚ a Scrivener file on this hard drive that will become another book in turn. And I am scared all the time‚ scared that I will fail‚ scared that my ideas suck‚ scared that I will let people down. A year is a measure of a closed orbit. A closed orbit means you return to the point you started from. One question I get asked often and have yet to come up with a good stock answer for is that of where my titles come from. The honest-to-God truth is ‘I just throw words together until it feels right‚’ but this never satisfies the asker‚ so I always have to fumble around until I man.age to sound smarter than that. Okay‚ so‚ if I dig a bit deeper: a title can’t feel right until I know the core concept I’m aiming for. Much to the chagrin of my very patient publishers‚ I don’t title my work until it’s done‚ or close to it. I don’t outline‚ either‚ and I don’t write linearly‚ so I have no idea what it is I’m writing until I’ve written it. I was at a loss‚ at first‚ over what to call this meandering collection of road-trip stories in space‚ which had no real protagonist and only a hint of plot (both qualities by design)‚ expressly intended to challenge the idea that science fiction had to be about explosions‚ high drama‚ and lone heroes on pedestals. I had grown up feasting on space opera‚ and sometimes there reaches a point where you love a thing so much you want to crush it in both hands and mould it into something else. But what was this book about? This was the thing that hamstrung me for years before I finally sat down in 2012 to cobble those notebooks full of half-baked ideas together. I believed‚ wholeheartedly‚ that I didn’t have a real science fiction novel in front of me‚ that this wasn’t a real book. All I had was vibes and conversations‚ I thought. Nobody would like this‚ and how could they? I couldn’t even explain what this was. It was a book about people‚ the stubborn part of me replied. It wasn’t about the entirety of their lives – those had begun elsewhere‚ and would keep branching after the fact. It was a book about a single stretch of time in nine respective lives‚ a temporal cake slice they all shared. But you can’t measure time. You can only measure the perceivable movement within it. The Long Way to a Small‚ Angry Planet. It’s funny that I thought of this book as a time capsule in a narrative sense‚ because both it and every book I’ve written since serve as time capsules of me as well. I think all books do. If anybody ever asked me to write an autobiography‚ I’d just tell them I’ve already written and am writing it‚ and will be doing so forever. When I look back through The Long Way‚ after I stop nitpicking the ten thousand things I would change‚ I see nothing but my twenties. When Rosemary wakes up in the deepod miserable and groggy and needing to pee‚ I see myself‚ bleary-eyed on transatlantic flights during the early years when my wife and I stuck it out long distance. When Jenks and Lovey talk all night without being able to touch‚ I think of the endless months between those visits (and the phone bills we racked up). When the gang meets the modder sibs on Cricket‚ I see the house I shared with friends the year before I moved to Iceland. I see a coworker I couldn’t stand in Corbin‚ my late-night existential tangles in Ohan‚ the kinds of people I wanted to be in Ashby and Sissix. Every member of this crew is me‚ tip to toe. They’re also nothing like me‚ not even a little. It’s just a story‚ after all. The me I am now couldn’t write this book as it is‚ even if I wanted to. I look at the girl in my author photo from that time – taken by a friend‚ on her couch‚ when her now-tween son was a baby and her daughter didn’t exist yet – and I couldn’t be her again. I know her‚ but I don’t know how. And as such‚ I can’t be the crew of the Wayfarer anymore‚ either. I’ll always know them‚ too‚ inside and out. I can tell you without putting any effort into it that if Dr Chef overheard me saying I’m afraid of letting people down‚ he would make me a cup of boring tea and tell me to come chat with him while we harvest vegetables together. I can tell you that Kizzy would explain orbits and the ephemerality of time with a few ball bearings she yanked out of some machine that shouldn’t have things yanked out of it. I can tell you that‚ yes‚ Rosemary and Sissix are doing great. But their voices are something I can’t summon anymore‚ not in a genuine way. I’m not melancholy as I write that – far from it. It’s merely a measure of movement‚ like the stamps in my passport or the wrinkles I’m getting around my eyes (I love them‚ for the record). I’ve changed; the Wayfarer never will. But there are things that me today and me ten years ago have in common‚ just as I can say the same about the mes that existed fifteen‚ twenty‚ thirty years ago. My mom sometimes jokes that I didn’t get older‚ I just got taller‚ and when it comes to things like space and bugs and books and video games and trips to the museum‚ she’s right. In regards to this work‚ though – the one you’re holding now – I may not be the person who wrote this anymore‚ but what she and I will always‚ always agree on is this: when you exit the airlock into that patchwork metal corridor‚ when you are greeted by an AI and a feathered alien in short succession‚ when you adjust to the artigrav and have a look around‚ I want you to feel safe. I want you to know that you are wel.come in this corner of the galaxy exactly as you are‚ and you can live a good‚ satisfying life here‚ if you want to. There is always a place for you at the table‚ a chair that will fit your body‚ a meal that will suit your needs. If you fall‚ someone will come running. If you are hurt‚ you will heal. You can wonder. You can rest. You can ask questions and grow. You can fuck up irrevocably and still be loved. You are loved. How could you not be? You are a piece of the universe‚ blood and thought and bone. And what is the universe‚ if not beautiful? Come out of the open and into our home. –Becky Chambers The post Becky Chambers Shares Art From a New Illustrated Edition of <;i>;The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet<;/i>; appeared first on Reactor.

This is in part because‚ as the title may have tipped you off‚ it’s in the future. Also‚ Max (Aristotle Athari) and Molli (Zosia Mamet) already know each other. It’s less a meet-cute than a meet-again. And then again. And again. Also‚ there are space cults. And Max is dating a robot. Here’s the synopsis: A charming‚ unexpected mix of When Harry Met Sally by way of Futurama‚ Molli and Max in the Future is the story of a woman (Zosia Mamet‚ The Flight Attendant‚ Girls) and a man (Saturday Night Live‘s Aristotle Athari) whose orbits repeatedly collide over the course of twelve years‚ four planets‚ three dimensions‚ and one space cult.Created by a group of friends‚ featuring hundreds of handmade sets and otherworldly backdrops‚ and made with nothing but unabashed love for romantic comedies‚ this plucky‚ lo-fi misadventure blasts the “meet-cute” into deep space while perfectly – and adorably – tackling the ups and downs of Earthbound relationships. Mamet and Athari are both also executive producers on the film‚ which is directed by Michael Lukk Litwak (Snatchers). If you look up the word “quirky” in the dictionary‚ you probably find this trailer—but that’s a good thing! We live in a world of extremely serious science fiction‚ where things tend to get real life-and-death real fast‚ and there is room for quirkiness and play and‚ yes‚ rom-coms. It’s all too rare that we get to have fun in space. Let us have this. Molli and Max in the Future is in theaters February 9th.

Stine’s The New Year’s Party  By Alissa Burger January 11‚ 2024 Comment 0 icon-left-caret Caret See All Posts Mountains are undeniably alluring and awe-inspiring. But mountain climbing can be fraught with life-threatening dangers—falls‚ frostbite‚ avalanches‚ and oxygen deprivation are amongst the most common ways to die. And yet‚ the attraction of scaling lofty peaks like Everest continues to exert a hold on humanity. I love reading non-fiction survival stories about mountain climbing (despite not actually being a climber myself!)‚ so it’s no surprise that I also love it when writers of fiction take that kind of story and add a dash of SFF and horror into the mix. Here are five books which take the already perilous activity of mountaineering and amp up the fear factor even further by adding ghosts‚ monsters‚ and possession. Ascension (2023) by Nicholas Binge I think it’s crucial to go into Nicholas Binge’s Ascension with the right expectations. It’s typically billed as a speculative thriller‚ which to me evokes the works of authors such as Blake Crouch and Michael Crichton. It’s fair to say that Ascension starts off in that vein‚ but it definitely takes a turn for the horrific and fantastical‚ making it more in line with the works of H.P. Lovecraft. The bulk of the story is told via letters that Harold Tunmore‚ a scientist who mysteriously dropped off the map‚ has written to his niece Harriet. The letters reveal that Harold has been recruited to be part of a team tasked with exploring a massive mountain that has suddenly appeared in the Pacific Ocean. Harold quickly realizes that time behaves strangely on the mountain and that members of the previous expedition are acting cagey. Driven by a desire to unravel the mystery of the mountain‚ Harold finds himself compelled to continue climbing despite the difficulty of the endeavor. To make matters even worse‚ the team encounter some bizarre and decidedly dangerous creatures on their way up. Ascension is a fun and lightly frightening story  wrapped up in freezing cold atmosphere. It may wear the coat of a sci-fi thriller‚ but at its heart it’s pure pulp horror. The White Road (2017) by Sarah Lotz The White Road begins with a perilous journey through the fictional Cwm Pot cave system in Wales. Simon Newman hires a guide to lead him through the claustrophobic tunnels‚ but he isn’t just seeking adventure; in the hope of driving traffic to his website‚ Journey to the Dark Side‚ he’s planning to film the bodies of three students who were trapped years earlier by a flood. Simon nearly ends up trapped in the cave himself‚ but he manages to escape with both his life and the footage. Simon’s viral moment leads to him trying to replicate his success by attempting to climb Mount Everest‚ in order to (once again) film dead bodies. Clearly‚ Simon isn’t a great guy. But his messed-up sense of morality doesn’t make things any less tense when he starts to experience something potentially supernatural on the mountain’s snowy slopes. Everest is a terrifying enough location as it is—the summit is literally in the “death zone‚” the name for altitudes above 26‚000 feet (8‚000 meters) where there isn’t enough oxygen to live—but adding a specter or two into the mix adds yet another layer of fear. Echo (2022) by Thomas Olde Heuvelt (translated by Moshe Gilula) Thomas Olde Heuvelt’s Echo turns away from ghosts and monsters and instead offers up a possession story. Nick and Sam are a couple with very different hobbies; Nick loves to go mountain climbing‚ while Sam doesn’t understand the appeal and fears for Nick’s life. His fears come true when Nick and his climbing buddy‚ Augustin‚ attempt to summit Mount Maudit in the Alps. Something goes wrong‚ leading to Augustin’s presumed death‚ and while Nick makes it down alive‚ he’s suffered severe facial injuries and mental trauma. Nick’s behavior becomes increasingly odd after the mysterious accident and Sam begins to suspect that something from the mountain might still have a hold on him. Far more of Echo is about the aftermath of the incident‚ rather than the incident itself‚ but we do find out what happened through a manuscript‚ written by Nick‚ which revels in mountainous imagery that’s both spectacular and deeply scary. The horror in Echo goes in some weird and unexpected directions (this isn’t your usual possession story!)‚ but it all feels grounded by Nick and Sam’s love for each other. This Wretched Valley (2024) by Jenny Kiefer Technically This Wretched Valley is about a cliff face and the valley at its feet‚ but it feels very much in keeping with the mountain stories on this list. Taking inspiration from the eerie Dyatlov Pass incident‚ Jenny Kiefer’s novel opens with the remains of three missing people being found in the woods. The state of the bodies leaves investigators perplexed‚ with one body being stripped to the bone‚ another eviscerated‚ and the final one mutilated. Plus‚ there’s a fourth person still missing. The story then jumps backwards in time to explain how these people met their grisly fates. Clay‚ a geology student‚ discovers a hitherto unknown cliff face deep in the wilderness and for the research trip he brings along research assistant Sylvia‚ professional rock-climber Dylan‚ Dylan’s boyfriend Luke‚ and a very good dog called Slade. Clay’s research about the cliff could help complete his PhD thesis‚ while rising star Dylan plans to make her mark by being the first person to scale it. But when the group ends up stranded‚ relationships quickly start to sour. This Wretched Valley isn’t just survival horror‚ though—it’s supernatural survival horror‚ with the woods having a mind-bending effect and the cliff face proving to be disturbingly magnetic. Although it’s established at the outset that at least three of these characters meet gory ends‚ the mystery of how they ended up like that maintains the tension and drives the novel forward. The Other Side of the Mountain (2011) by Michel Bernanos (translated by Gio Clairval) Originally published in French in 1967‚ I read Gio Clairval’s 2011 English translation of The Other Side of the Mountain (which can be found in The Weird: A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories)‚ but a standalone edition of an older translation is also available. The novella is told in two parts: the first part is set aboard a ship that becomes trapped at sea thanks to a lack of wind—carnage ensues; the second part sees two survivors from the ship wash up in an otherworldly land—weirdness ensues. The landscape is drenched in red light and the plants behave oddly‚ but with death nipping at their heels‚ our two survivors—a cabin boy who serves as the unnamed narrator and Toine‚ the ship’s cook—have no choice but to push onwards. A mountain looms over the forest beyond the beach and Toine is convinced that if they can just make it to the other side of the mountain‚ they’ll be saved. The setting feels like it came out of a fever dream‚ but for all of the novella’s surreal imagery‚ the actual narration is recounted with complete clarity. Surreal stories run the risk of becoming confusing (this is sometimes quite purposeful‚ of course!)‚ but The Other Side of the Mountain manages to chart a lucid path even when things gets weirder and weirder as the characters draw closer to the menacing mountain. * * * So‚ these are my favorite horror novels featuring strange and spooky mountains!

Gliding is a great way to get around in Palworld and is sometimes more convenient than using a mount. Several Pals have a Gliding ability‚ but they aren’t created equally. With this in mind‚ let me show you the best Glider Pals in Palworld. What do Glider Pals do in Palworld? If you have a Pal with a Gliding skill‚ you can use them to glide instead of making a Glider yourself. Interestingly‚ each Pal glides differently‚ and some are much better at it than others.

Enshrouded and Palworld are two Early Access survival crafting games that have released too close together for being as similar as they are. If you’re torn and can only play one of these games‚ here’s a guide to help you choose between Palworld and Enshrouded. All similarities and differences between Enshrouded and Palworld As someone who has put several hours into both games‚ I can tell you what sets each game apart.
