art by Jonathan LaMantia, a grizzled bearded face with too many eyes and a fir tree growing out of its head

art by Matt Blairstone; a massive ominous black tree towers over paper birches against a yellow background

art by Stefan Koidl, a living scarecrow with glowing eyes in a field against a sunset and small town in the background

art by Jonathan LaMantia, horror vacui fills every inch, a slasher and wolfen creature, standing stones that look like teeth, tendons and bones and skulls and slithering things, rendered in magnificent black and white

I love when my currently reading matches 💅🏻💖💛🖤

Bunny is a re-read and I’m loving how creepy/disturbing The Black Lord is so far 🧌

Personally, I love it. Was always hoping for an Authority and Acceptance movie, but that does not appear to be forthcoming

"This is a short but beautifully frightening story. It's been a long time since a book actually scared me, but this book has such a palpable feeling of dread and menace that it is hard to not be scared." -Roberto, Goodreads

Thank you, Laura, that means a lot. I had a piece in the May issue of Cosmic Horror Monthly if you're looking for more 👹

Picture shows the book "The Black Lord" by Colin Hinckley (yellow background with birch trees and an ominous black tree-like shape amongst them) and a cross stitch project (says "Witchcrafts" and shows various crafting tools like scissors and needles along with bats, crescent moons, and a cauldron) against a dark green background. Also includes the embroidery floss for the project (black, yellows, and silver-greys), scissors, and a a repurposed "mystifying mints" tin that looks like an outdated board.

Still reading, still crafting. ✨️

cannot wait for this

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Currently reading When the Wolf comes Home by @natcassidy.bsky.social and MAN does it fucking rule. My favorite line so far: "Aw, fuck, she traumatized him! Oh, well."

Really fun, really cool take on the werewolf. Loving the crap out of it

Just saw the delightful clown and a cornfield and @adamcesare.bsky.social I have to ask: are Rust and Cole a reference to True Detective?
Movie slaps, had a blast

Sometimes I need to "Crack" the cartilage in my ear like you do for your knuckles. Does anyone else do this?

@tananarivedue.bsky.social simply does not miss. This book got me fucked UP

Caveat :)

No reason, but what indie horror presses would be interested in a fucked up, backwoods alien novella do you think? 👀🛸

I'm really proud of this piece!!! I hope all you sickos (compliment) enjoy!!

The amount of times a day I wish I could text my cat

Its really good with a knockout ending
