Holy shit new mclusky just dropped

I love reading horror, but I'm never quite scared by it. That is, until I picked up a book of @brianevenson.bsky.social's stories.

"I seem to be standing on your clothing," he told the other.
"It's not my clothing," the face said.
"No?" said Grauer. "What is it?"
"My skin," the face said.

This fellow's dance deserves a Sisters of Mercy soundtrack and some blacklights

all for love

Halfway through King Sorrow, and I am pleased to report that @stephenking.bsky.social's habit of mentioning a "blue chambray shirt" in every novel is a legacy that Joe Hill carries proudly.

Loving the book so far! (and reading it in my red flannel shirt, for all you shirtheads out there)

Ayyyyy! My old college town bookstore! My ghost still lingers there.

Do thou, too, remain warm among ice.

NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

I sure miss when it used to be fun to Look At The Internet

He said the thing!!!

What a nice message to wake up to this morning! The Fathomeer can be found in This World of Vile Wonder - check it out if you prefer the sea to keep its secrets.

Oh wow, thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Wrote this a year ago, not sure if I ever shared it. Gotta click thru to @gavagai.com for the whole thing.

Inauguration Day Blues — by J.M. Thor
Woke up this morning
Got the baby on the potty
Got screamed at
Did not scream back though i needed to
I held it like a big kid
Made egg salad on toast because
The store only had hard boiled

Kids have the day off school
And I have the day off work
Not to honor …

You heard the fella, pre-order The Boatman!

Its the kind of book you can read in a day and think about for the rest of your life. Highly recommended! Thank you to @badhandbooks.bsky.social for the advance copy.

Just finished The Boatman, @alexgrecian.bsky.social's upcoming, and it was a real treat. My favorite kind of spec fic, where one small thing is different and we examine what scenarios may unspool. Its a poignant meditation on mortality and legacy, and surprisingly, also a breezy beach read. 1/
