the cover of A Game in Yellow by Hailey Piper, art by Caroline Johnson, and the text: Perhaps the gutsiest conceptual leap from a major horror writer this year, Hailey Piper’s latest novel is a riff on Robert W. Chambers’ revered collection The King in Yellow, a foundational weird fiction book that gets an unexpected expansion through
It's cool to be reading down an article of recent horror books going "Yes, ha ha ha YES" sickos style because they're all bangers and then stumble onto your own among them 🤩
A GAME IN YELLOW is in fantastic company here with BLACK FLAME, BAT EATER, and more 💛

everyone dislikes genai in games, but kids and story-focused players the most.

Never used AI for anything in our games, and we're not going to start anytime soon

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures
Terry’s chocolate orange with the Lament Configuration
Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I just found this puzzle box inside a Terry’s chocolate orange, played with it for a moment, and a gang of black-clad, heavily pierced extra-dimensional beings showed up saying they have such sights to show me. Be safe.

One of them is Russ Taylor from CA. Excerpt from his interview:
QUESTION: How do you feel about becoming a political lightning rod?
Taylor: "People occasionally just flip [me] off or whatever, but nobody's come up to me and tried to make a statement about anything. Personally, it's kind of dumb. It's just a vehicle. So it's ironic that it would even become a political statement, but nonetheless it is."

He was later pardoned by President Trump.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v2i25uvial3o2j33yozcv6ot/bafkreig5q7tstaoyqxoejocnkn7khum3x4hehbitk7766pjjw5f5z3aylu)
