Had a nightmare. What does it say about me that being handed the Eraserhead baby wasn’t the scary part? I just wanted to get it to the NICU. There was a weird but fun part where I’m sitting in a public chair and a salesman without explanation straps their inflatable pillow product on me.

Haunted dolls are rescue pets. They are not for everyone. They have suffered. They panic and act out unexpectedly. They have special needs. They are also an opportunity to turn a tragedy into a deeply loving relationship that will last your whole life and follow you to Hell.

Absolutely this. By jiminy, go ask your library to stock my books! All of them!

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

According to Bluesky statistics my followers are: 1. Gibbering monkeys 2: Angels standing in judgment. 3. Plague rats watching for a crumb to fall. 4. DUDE. 5. Scholars of madness whose very shape violates reason. 6. A unicorn. 7. Robo. Sort yourselves out.

I was semi-serious about this? I was wondering what weaknesses such an extreme organism surely has, and chemicals as corrosive as xenomorph blood explode on contact with common things like... water. Certainly anything remotely basic. A xenomorph is a walking bomb. I bet ammonia gas would do it.

Wild Children are eternally young, sooo... even if he was born in the pre-industrial era, eventually Scratch is gonna hit the mid-90s. And he's going to have a pretty good time there. #WildChildren
