I read the title of @stephengrahamjones.com 's story in BACK FOR BLOOD: NEVER WHISTLE AT THE DARK PART II and wondered if I could just skip it because I could feel the terror and heartbreak.

Anne Hathaway bought the rights to a novel about a tradwife influencer who wakes up in 1855 and has to actually live the life she's been selling online. The book is called Yesteryear. It came out 3 days ago. The film rights were already sold to Hathaway, who will produce and star.

Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.

Back For Blood: Never Whistle After Dark Vol 2. It’s a collection of horror stories by Native American authors.
