Blackest Fabric Ever Made Absorbs 99.87% of All Light That Hits It If you want to stand out at your next metal gig, don't settle for a spot of color in a sea of black – go ultrablack instead.

“Engineers at Cornell University have created the blackest fabric on record, finding it absorbs 99.87 percent of all light that dares to illuminate its surface.”

A cozy scene in a dimly candlelit kitchen. Knitting, candy, spices and fall harvested vegetables and mushrooms are piled around a small meal of soup, cider, and caramel apple. A black cat looks out a frosted over window where a fox, crow, bats and owl converge near a fall colored birch under a full moon.

Oooh what to post for #ArtAdventCalendar day 4.

Embracing the weather, even though this is more Autumnal than Yule. Cozy abundance FTW.

This is a photo of a paperback copy of The Atrocities by me (Jeremy C. Shipp). The cover features a creepy old manor house, storm clouds, and a hedge maze. The book is against a brick wall with vines growing around and over the book.
