The Devil Takes you Home by Gabino Iglesias was my Day of the Dead read. Terrifying truths, painfully horrible. Narration is incredible. Grateful to all the horror writers out there for the scary. Still thinking about the lyrical, haunting voice of Mario. Exquisite writing. @gabino.bsky.social

Writing Center severely compromised by lack of funding. The grammerly/AI take over is almost complete.

Helen Laser’s performance of Nat Cassidy’s “When the Wolf Comes Home” is so perfect for the pace of the story. It’s superbly scary. It’s also just such a great world to be dropped right into. In love with the wolf. 🔨

Enamored with The Haunting of Room 904. The writing and the narration are just superb and spooky. Great read. I had a long wait at the library but got them to order another copy. #librarylove

Beautiful.

[ID: A poem titled “Unhurried” Grieve as the snail slides unhurried yet everywhere they must reach they find. Grieve as the snail glides unbothered by expectations of time their pace as protective as their shell.

A new poem in @hootreview about the constant, unwinding grief and loss of being indefinitely ill during a pandemic so few still observe.

Book cover for "In the Forest of Harm" by Sallie Bissell, featuring a foggy forest with tall trees and the subtitle "Book One of the Mary Crow Adventures.

Still one of my very fav wilderness thriller/horror series.

We are so immersed in horror that it’s hard to really get into my favorite genre but Bearskin written by James McLaughlin & narrated by MacLeod Andrews is a delight of scary.

One of my favs for the writing center folks:

“These authors deserve to be discovered and read by a significantly larger audience … but for this to happen, Wales needs to firmly step out of the shadows of its more prominent bedfellows and stand as a literary nation … ”

I’ve been thinking about this all night. I’m going with Misery of course but then I’d want him to immediately walk into the first few pages of Devil eat Devil.

Reading Johnny Compton’s comptonwrites.bsky.social “Devil eats Devil” and it was well worth the wait. Narrated by Imani Jade Powers. Powers’ voices rocks the reader through this scary story. Just an incredible pairing of writing and narrating.

was really not that long ago when there were no computers in the #writingcenter. Computer nonsense costs a lot of money & colleges are cheap as hell. plus #pencils do not have ai in them. Now…that would be the thing. #horror
