R.A. Busby

Thank you!! I’ve been re-watching Bridgerton essentially because the alternative is watching the fkin news and feeling the gray fog of despair crawl around my shoulders.

Just for a damn hour, I want to see a world where Penelope Featherington getting herself a glow-up is the most important thing.

Holy shit, I guess y'all will have to continue waiting forever for the official From Beyond Press tiktok channel. This is fucking grim.

I enjoyed watching this dude. He got me pretty fired up.

Then they have not only crap taste, but a mean spirit.

Seriously.

Will do!

Okay, I am genuinely thrilled to be on @stephenkingcast.bsky.social ‘s follow list. I’ve listened to so many of Constantly Reader’s podcasts (and loved the ones with the sweet doggo in the background). Looking forward to hearing more in the new year!

The YOU WILL SPEAK FOR THE DEAD book cover with a teacup that has a hedgehog on it against a gray background. The book is by R. A. Busby.

The next interview we want to highlight is between @specawards.bsky.social Founder @lnholmeswriter.bsky.social and SSBA 2025 Horror Winner @rabusby.bsky.social. Read about the hedgehog on the cover, mushroom research rabbit holes, and the important, true story that inspired the book.

I just can’t believe their lives ended in such a horrific and tragic way. From every angle, it is a nightmare, but Rob Reiner’s heartfelt and honest work will continue to shine on. He will continue to make the world a better, brighter place, and that will be the way I hope we remember his life. 😢

A Chat with R.A. Busby, the 2025 SSBA Winner in Horror L. N. Holmes: Thanks for agreeing to this interview, R. A. You Will Speak for the Dead is mushroom horror meets body horror. It’s also so much more than that. After reading the acknowledgements in …

How cool! Got interviewed by L.N. Holmes about my weird mushroom book You Will Speak for the Dead (Stelliform Press).

We talk about hoarding, fungus, death, and lighter-stealing ferrets, so give it a look!

And OF COURSE those “croissants” look like they came out of a paper tube.

He must spend all day in the bathroom. That’s fine with me. 🤣

Uhhh…have they seen this performance? Where Stevie Nicks burns hate-holes through the soul of Lindsey Buckingham using her eyes of witchy fury???

We could have had a president who’s familiar with blood on a monthly basis.

I haven’t seen it yet, but Emma Stone’s performance in Poor Things was *fierce.* She entirely convinced me she was that character through her absolute commitment to the physicality that role demanded. Amazing!

¡Diez mil gracias! 😊

Cubierta con el fondo morado claro con un degradado desde el centro hasta los bordes. En el centro aparece el título del relato, seguido del nombre de le autore, y, en la parte inferior, el nombre de quien lo ha traducido y el logo de Voces de lo insólito. Los bordes de la cubierta están llenos de detalles, tanto a izquierda como a derecha. Hay calaveras blancas rodeadas por círculos. Frascos de veneno. Dos cuervos que se miran desde cada lado. Ojos, huesos, lunas, gotas de sangre y hierbas desperdigadas por ahí. Todo con tonos y sombras moradas, excepto los cuervos, que destacan con su color negro. En la parte superior hay un ojo brillante y en la inferior un semicírculo rosa oscuro con dos ojos verticales a cada lado.

¿Queréis una historia que os sacuda hasta la médula?

Pues no se hable más: id corriendo a leer «Diez mil niñas que se arrastran», de R. A. Busby. Estamos segures de que os dejará los pelos como escarpias 🕷️

Do you like the taste of butter? If so, you might need a mini-fridge.🤣

This is more me.

To be fair, anything has to be better than the Branagh version.

Naked Jello wrestling with Robert DeNiro was definitely not on my movie wish list.

EVERY SINGLE HIGH SCHOOL TRACK TEAM DOES THIS ALL THE TIME. Six fuckin’ laps.

Pathetic.

Soooooo smug. You’ve probably heard this word, but we need to say it more often and important it into English:
“Backpfeifengesicht”: A face that you just wanna slap.
