I know there is a lot going on but if you want to hear me read a scene from my novel SHIGIDI in which a nightmare god wakes up with a divine hangover, check it out. And then get the book, its pretty fun, I've been told. ๐Ÿ˜

You can now read our story, โ€œInto Duty, Into Longing, Into Sparrows,โ€ in @bcsmagazine.bsky.social. This story navigates, in many ways, the Fattening Room tradition.
