Seeing Harmonia Rosales’ work hung up on the walls over the illuminated manuscripts I’ve loved for so long is doing something cleansing and sublime to my spirit. Thank you to The to the @gettymuseum.bsky.social for hosting this important work.

@tco-anthology.bsky.social and I want to let you in on a secret...
...THE SUBCALL IS LIVE!

Reminder: the 92% has a plan. Choose your garden and water it. Art is resistance. Community-support is resistance. Survival, for us, is resistance.

Thrilled and a bit shy to announce that my essay β€œMy Long Road to Horror” is an official nominee for a Bram Stoker Award. 🀩

Congrats to ALL of the finalists and editor Becky Siegel Spratford, who pulled together a HELL of a book of powerful essays on what drew us to horror. (And thanks, Mom!)
