About Addenda

Addenda is an independent publication launched in September 2024 by John Darnielle. If you subscribe today, you'll get full access to the website as well as email newsletters about new content when it's available. Your subscription makes this site possible, and allows Addenda to continue to exist. Thank you! This ends the template text from Ghost; I have no beef with any of it, but I do feel an obligation to amend it in some way. You know, so you know it's me. The guy with all the books.

Access all areas

By signing up, you'll get access to the full archive of everything that's been published before and everything that's still to come. "Your very own private library," the template text reads. This is not, as of this writing, entirely true, but it does invite some reflection on the general concept of "library," an idea so powerful that we now make reference to it in almost innumerable contexts.

Fresh content, delivered

Stay up to date with new content sent straight to your inbox! No more worrying about whether you missed something because of a pesky algorithm or news feed. Our mission here is to ease as many worries as we can, and we do that by means of fresh content.

Meet people like you

"Join a community of other subscribers who share the same interests," the template wishes to assert you will be doing by subscribing to Addenda. Why not? Become part of this powerful community. If we get sufficient numbers perhaps we will organize in solidarity and lead one another into the just world that is the birthright of all human beings. "It all started on that Darnielle guy's seldom-updated book blog," they'll say of us, then, in the future. "Damndest thing."
