A new murmur about Junji Ito's REMINA. Ironically, cosmic horror can show just how *significant* we are in terms of the terror and suffering we are capable of inflicting.

Here's a murmur about a wonderful Mark Samuels short story, "Apartment 205." Samuels reveals the maddening, terrifying truth, but the story still retains all of its horror.

A murmur about a great short story collected in Michael Kelly's The Best Weird Fiction of the Year Vol. 1, @undertow.bsky.social. Among other things, Charlotte Tierney's "A Woman's Place Is in the Haunted Home" reveals things about anxiety that only fiction can.

As I was thinking through the cool monsters in Erdelac's stories about John Conquer, the comparison suddenly struck me: Conquer is Silver John set in Harlem 1976!

Looking forward to the book, and I'm happy to see Hiron Ennes' "Our Best Selves" in the TOC! That and their story "The Breath of Kannask" were two of my personal favorites from 2024. @hironennes.bsky.social
