Fiona and Cake calling out KAB for being too expensive is the validation I never thought I would receive.

Back in 2016 I knew he was a client but a decade later I’m pretty certain he used miss teen pageant to launder money and traffic countless girls. It’s so much more than being a standard pedo.

“All Hallows” by Christopher Golden captures the ambience of a 1980s Halloween that we all crave. I’m not usually a fan of multiple perspectives but Golden weaves together a story about a neighborhood loosing all its innocences on one night.

I learned Ms Rachel is from New England just by singing the “hut dog” song where she will say hot pan but “hut dog”

I moved to New Hampshire and noticed people will say “pup corn” and “hut dog” but will say hot and pop normally. It’s like the cool whip scene in family guy.

Love how it feels like absolute darkness in my living room at 4 pm.

Brb crying joyful tears for the first time in a long time.

9/11 started an era of fear, hatred, and division in this country. I woke up seeing the news of Mamdani’s victory over a political dynasty that ran on that fear and hatred. I feel the sun rising on a new era that embraces joy and diversity. Congratulations to the new America’s Mayor and NYC.

Hope, joy, and love beat fear, hatred, and bad bronzer!

Slewfoot by Brom was excellent. It blended folk horror with folk lore beautifully. My only note would be even more vengeance.

I was shocked to find this store, which is the size of two shoe boxes, has dumb corporate sounding titles. Witchcraft doesn’t fit with corporate culture.

I visited my favorite metaphysical shop in Portsmouth like I do multiple times a year but I left so disappointed. I reached out to the store online and they responded by thanking me for letting them know instead of apologizing. It’s more of a gift shop than a true witchy store anyways.

My sister and her kids are out of the house! Thank the goddess they are safe and begin to heal. It’s still a long road for my sister but this was such a big step and I’m so proud of her.

I am tried of being trapped in this abusive, narcissistic relationship of an administration. Every person who lives in the USA, including those who are undocumented, deserves so much more than this bull shit.

My sister is starting to separate from her husband and I really want to do something extra nice for her and my nibblings. I have no idea what to do but I just want them to feel extra loved through this first holiday season.

I was so excited for Welcome to Derry but that excitement was laughed away during the lamp scene. So goofy. The writing for the relationships between the kids was done well which is why I love the original story so I’ll return next week.

My little always acts not interested in a nap but as soon as I get him in my arms, singing to him it’s lights out almost instantly.

We’re going to Kennebunkport next week for a family vacation and we definitely need it. I can’t wait for seafood. Maybe I should leave my phone at home.

“We Have Always Lived in a Castle” by Shirley Jackson felt familiar, like a story you heard on the playground as a kid. It mostly reminded me of Lizzy Borden. Jackson’s writing is impeccable of course.

I long for a big coffee shop with many comfortable chairs and isn’t a Starbucks. My town has one coffee shop inside an old garage and everyone from the Upper Valley pack themselves in like sardines.

I picked up Slewfoot by Brom today. It was sold out at one store and I grabbed the last copy at a different store. Both store clerks were excited I brought it up. I think this is going to be a good read.

They’ve been added, thanks!

I need some scary book recommendations for October, what book has scared you the most?

I don’t scare easily 👻

I was heard so many good things about “Dark Matter” by Blake Crouch and it was a snore fest. I thought it supposed to be really scare and I was so bored.

Day 2 - My Familiar. If I could pick any creature in the world to be my familiar, I know instantly which creature I would pick: my sweet, dear Bunny Bird.

This is a teaser for a upcoming gallery show of WOW x WOW ♥️

I finished “Buffalo Hunter Hunter” by Stephen Graham Jones and it’s the best piece of vampire fiction out there. I wish this novel was around for my American Literature class. Jones’s Good Stab lingers with me long after reading, which is a hallmark of a great horror.

I didn’t expect double speak to be this dumb.

You know it’s bad when your sister tells you her husband won’t let her take a Pilates class 😤

Then if I step on Facebook I’m slapped in face with only adds or “page recommendations” and I have to dig for anything from my family. The internet might be dead. Idk
