This is not the reason you should buy Premee's books. You should buy them because they are all great. Not just good, GREAT.

I mostly don't post about books repeatedly, so if you see me banging on about one again and again, GO and GET THE DAMN THING cos it's REALLY THAT GOOD.

All of Premee's first.

Another amazing thing about scrolling through the Yuletide tag set is finding nominated fandoms you've never heard of and being immediately like, "TELL ME MORE." For instance:

16 Ways to Kill a Vampire
Murderous Lewellyn's Candlelight Dinner
Make the Exorcist Fall in Love

Horror Bingo: Dr. Phibes Rises Again The Abominable Dr. Phibes was one of my very favorite 2024 Horror Bingo movies, so I knew without a doubt that I’d be nominating its sequel—Dr. Phibes Rises Again—for this year’s list. …

The Abominable Dr. Phibes was one of my very favorite Horror Bingo 2024 movies. Its followup, Dr. Phibes Rises Again, is not as great, unfortunately—but there are still hilariously elaborate murders to be had! 🐍🦂💀

THEY COULDN’T CONTAIN THEIR BLOODLUST

Scrolling through the tag set and seeing my friends' books nominated: 🥰

I sincerely hope that, someday, I'll have a book published and nominated for Yuletide. I won't be able to actually READ any such fanfic, of course. But it'd still be amazing to know it's there.

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

If you have the funds and are interested in supporting small presses and neat books, it might be worth checking out this KS. The Witch of Prague sounds fascinating—bodily autonomy, fighting authoritarianism, AND unicorns? Like, yes please. 🦄

Heh, I've been there. But it might not! I know a lot of people love this one.

Horror Bingo 2025: Death Becomes Her Okay, so, here’s the truth: originally, I’d planned to nominate The Substance for Horror Bingo, as I haven’t gotten around to watching it yet. However, I’ve also been wantin…

Horror Bingo 2025 continues with Death Becomes Her, a movie I really, really wanted to like more than I actually did.

... I mean. I can't just be disrespecting Authority, right? I basically HAVE to buy more books now. 😂

Me, looking at book sale—

Responsible Me: No.

M: But—

RM: How many books did you just get through pre-orders and Kickstarters?

M: Well, 5. But—

RM: And the Friends of the Library Sale?

M: 6. But—

RM: And how many Libby books are you currently reading or have on hold?

Me: *sighs in defeat*

I, too, live in this level of hell known as Constant Refresh. 😂😭

It was really fun! I mean, I also probably would've enjoyed a
so-bad-it's-good holiday slasher, but yeah, Heart Eyes is a genuinely solid movie. I liked it a lot.

Horror Bingo: 28 Years Later I first saw 28 Days Later, hell, over 20 years ago now, and it remains one of my favorite horror movies to this day. I then saw 28 Weeks Later in 2007 and … haven’t actually watched it …

And the first movie pulled in Horror Bingo is ... 28 Years Later.

This one's interesting. I'm still thinking about it.
