#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched: an abysmal disco movie but the rest of the week was pretty good.

Catherine O'Hara was so funny, so stylish, so unapologetically committed to her roles. From SCTV to Beetlejuice to Home Alone to the Christopher Guest movies to Schitt's Creek to The Studio...such an icon.

My kids were talking about it at breakfast today, which makes me think it's probably none of my business

Gunpla is for the girls Real Gundams wear pink... and sparkles, and hearts, and tutus, and rhinestones

Y'all should read @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social's @mothership.blog piece. www.mothership.blog/gunpla-is-fo...

This collection is really fantastic (I originally picked it up for the title but then I realized Todd is a fucking great writer).

ReedPop also runs BookCon. #Romancelandia #BookSky

Fantastic, cannot wait for this!

The cover for Gore Poetics, Stories by Samir Sirk Morató. The cover features glistening intestines with two black pearls at the center. The text is a dark pink and flows with the texture of the intestines.

COVER REVEAL AND PREORDER ANNOUNCEMENT!

Gore Poetics by @spicycloaca.bsky.social is coming April 14th. It's strange, transgressive, and visceral--just like its cover by @sloppjockey.bsky.social with typography by @alandistro.bsky.social!

Spotlight on Michael Kelly & Best Weird Fiction locusmag.com/2026/01...

Little Ghosts Books Workshop Space Little Ghosts Books horror bookstore & community hub is looking to expand its space by renovating our back garage into a studio to host our workshops, book clubs, and author events.

Hey friends, can I ask you all to give our @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social Crowdfundr a look? Any amount helps us with our workspace renovation plans, if you're not able (which I understand!), if you could share the link that would be amazing. Love you all! 🤗🧡 👻📚

Agreed, I love him!

I like this more than Eggers' Nosferatu.

So fantastic, Becky! Congrats

👀 Stephen King really liked @natcassidy.bsky.social's forthcoming collection, I KNOW A PLACE!

"These stories are f*cking great. They rule. So read them." – Stephen King

Incredibly grateful King even agreed to read the collection, but this? We couldn't have asked for a better reaction...

Fantastic, congrats!

Congrats, Hailey, that's so awesome!

Blackness has many meanings and has been defined in ways that need to be redefined. For @crileysnorton.bsky.social and Darius Bost, this is a generative starting point for their book, A BLACK QUEER HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. @thegailyshow.org

I love Frailty so much, bought the blu ray a whole ago since it wasn't streaming anywhere...well worth it.

StokerCon panel idea:
