Hello I'm only back to say that @boneysoups.bsky.social's THE RED SACRAMENT is just as good as you've heard if not, nay, better even than that. Like it was cooked up in a spooky Parisian theater just for me, and not a moment too late. Damn fine stuff.

Took the eldest to a cafe and she spent the entire time reworking the vampire mythos. Her new rules: 1. All vampires can control and ride dinosaurs 2. Their teeth are made of foam 3. They can only be defeated by forcing them to do a puppet show

I just think that if you think you're not making any kind of political or moral point in your writing then you are either a complete moron, or such a boring writer that there's just no point reading you.

The eldest wrote a horror story and I'm afraid it absolutely rules.

Oh you want me to go see the movie everyone is talking about? Go see it at a cinema? The place where they literally drive a train at you?? not gonna happen lol 😂

The Mountain Goats gig was the kind of gig where other blokes ask you where you got your overshirt from. Had the time of my life.

By me for today's @theobserveruk.bsky.social: Why horror fiction is having a moment, with @gnofhorror.com, @lucyrosecreates.bsky.social, @jamieleenardone.bsky.social observer.co.uk/culture/book...

HEX HOUSE by @amyjanestewart.bsky.social is a dark and unsettling Scotland-set fairy-tale about a safe haven for women which transforms them into vessels of revenge... ✨🔮 Have you picked up a copy yet? 🖤 https://tinyurl.com/3k8yv4z4

Now watching.

Beautifully juxtaposed

Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Ask OpenAI if you are fishing correctly and it will tell you that you're the best fisherman in the world and you may have discovered a new way of fishing that will change the way people fish forever and also yes, dogs are fish

Tonight’s Mr L-free duties: reading @haileypiperfights.bsky.social’s latest ahead of interviewing her tomorrow for the @britfantasysoc.bsky.social podcast, while wrapped in a witchy nanna rug, listening to the Sinners soundtrack and burning incense. Bliss.

Cold? Gloomy? Enjoy my Gothic novel! London, 1893: Judith is living alone. Her brother-in-law Sam, careless and charismatic, was missing (presumed dead). He's now returned (presumed not dead). Judith must leave London to seek answers in folk rituals. the-portal-bookshop.square.site/product/unqu...

More @b3ta.com kids horror…

For the @b3ta.com kids TV horror challenge…

so in awe of young people in paris rising up against a collapsing neoliberal order that has failed and betrayed them. they are situating themselves in the country's tradition of republican agitation (i saw more than one 67-68 sign) and facing disgusting police violence with fearlessness + solidarity

incredibly humbling to have been first through the breach on this. no trans woman had ever had a horror novel at a big five publisher before MANHUNT, which is not to slap myself on the back but to comment on how lonely and scary it was. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

They call it house of leaves because some of you should do that of the house

*after watching the Friday the 13th prequel series* I understand Jason Voorhees now. He was right to kill all those people, even the ones he killed in space.

THE LIGHTHOUSE AT THE END OF THE WORLD by Philip A. Suggars has been out in the world for 6 months! ♣️ Enter a London like no other in this captivating fantasy novel filled with warring gods, alternate realities and a working class kid caught in the middle of it all. ♥️https://tinyurl.com/4x3jbbjb
