My auto-generated playlist making me laugh. Sure, I probably always do need to listen to Futuro, but one of these things is not like the others...

Two books. Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and A Game in Yellow by Hailey Piper

Two books. Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and A Game in Yellow by Hailey Piper

Thought I was gonna read the OG Robert W. Chambers before getting to my library books. But sneak-attacked by good old 19th century American racism on the 3rd page. Not a pov I want to exist in right now, so King in Yellow goes back on the shelf.

Piper & Moreno-Garcia won't do me dirty like that.

Emily Dickinson YAS!

(I distinctly remember being taught "she died a spinster" when I was in high school. I was SO MAD when I found out. "I tore open your letter and licked the envelope's seal for any lingering trace of you")

Mary Shelley. Shirley Jackson.

I keep the Anne Rice portrait pendant I bought from you in my journal case.

Hungerstone by Kat Dunn and A Long Time Dead by Samara Berger

Hungerstone by Kat Dunn and A Long Time Dead by Samara Berger

When both your library holds come in at the same time and the whole world becomes lesbian vampires.

This is infuriating.

Will not. More people should dress like Cronenberg's evil therapist character from Nightbreed.

Mary is the exact same percent black as my kids. They've never seen anyone like them in a move.

The opening lines of Ghost Story have stayed with me since I was a teenager.

If I put a note that says "needs bats?" in this chapter I'm editing, I'll surely remember what it means later, right?

Man, 19 year old me would never have believed that I would get a single by The Vampire Lestat that I could just slot right into my velvet goldmine inspired playlist.

It's a really good album, though.

My library just recommended me this while I wait for Hungerstone. I think I'll check it out.
