Recently watched: Deathdream (1974, originally released as Dead of Night). The funniest 1970s vampire movie I’ve ever seen. I want to watch it again stoned, because it’s the kind of movie you watch and think, “When did I smoke pot?”

I do not reward problematic content or creators with my attention. I’ve never watched a movie or a show, or read a book or a magazine or a comic, or listened to a song all the way through, and on social media I’ve blocked everyone but myself.

A paperback book, The Siege of Burning Grass, by Premee Mohamed. Theu cover shows a bird-headed humanoid figure in a green coat against a red background.

In _William Blake and the Sea Monsters of Love_, Philip Hoare refers to William Blake’s _Milton_ as “part folk horror.” Now I have to reread it with that description in mind.

Food, you say? Is that something like drink? Or is it more like drugs?

Reading a collection of Gertrude Stein’s writings now. She said that whenever journalists mocked her, they always wrote about her repetition. Always the same thing.

I don't fully trust anyone who doesn't adore libraries, especially haunted libraries. In terms of desired afterlife real estate, few places compare to library or bookshop. I am going to try hard to haunt my favourite one when the time comes. – #CJosiffe #Libraries #Ghosts

If you followed this account because you found it in a starter pack of zines/publishers, you should know that tiny frights ceased publication late last year.

Watched the movie Opus. A lot of brilliant actors wasted on an awful script. Also, a movie that centers on a legendary fictional musician should have much better music.

I have two poems included in the newest issue of @thepinkhydra.com!

"Prey-born" is one of my personal favorites of the poetry I've ever written

"Where Snow-on-the-Mountain Grows" is a real flower I came across on a walk one day

I wasn’t planning to see the new Superman movie, but it’s starting to sound pretty good.

My controversial writing opinion is that fiction writers should be less concerned with what's realistic and more concerned with what would be really cool.

A lot of my book hoard is cheap paperbacks from the 60s, 70s, and 80s that weren’t meant to last 40-60 years. Sometimes they fall apart as I read them.

Your high school biology class from decades ago is not a reliable guide to public policy.

No one should necessarily take me as a model (I write my first drafts in longhand), but Stephen Graham Jones linked to this article by Erica Hanger, and you should definitely listen to Stephen Graham Jones. www.typebarmagazine.com/2025/02/23/t...

You know that network of fungi that octopuses use to communicate with trees? Scientists have just detected radio pulses coming from it. They’re directed towards Pluto.

Goodnight from Ray Meadows, beginning to take Mad Barry’s claims of missing time much more seriously after driving the feral edge of Barrowcross. Goodnight from Jemima Cade, tying tight knots on the bag of ill luck that’s to be thrown into the River Stannis. Goodnight from Hookland.

(Truthfully, I’ve lived within a block of two cemeteries for over 25 years and have never encountered a ghost here, but I grew up in a house that was haunted.)

There’s a cemetery right across the street from my house. I’ve never seen a ghost, and I’ve been here 122 years.
