I'm utterly blown away by the reaction to the passing of David Lynch.

His legacy will carry on for an immeasurable length of time.

If ever there was a doubt, then now we can confidently say he was one of the greats.

Yeah, I would! I absolutely burned through the 2nd half of it.

Finished my first read of the year! Last Night of Freedom by @danhowarth20.bsky.social. Nice to read something by an author from my neck of the woods!

Just started Shadowlocked by @davidmoody.bsky.social. It's been a while since I've ready anything by Moody, but I'm REALLY enjoying it so far. His AUTUMN series was amongst the first books I ever read and played a big part in getting me inspired to write.

Thank you, I enjoyed it! I've not read a novella for quite a while, so the change of pace was a welcome one. I'm looking forward to reading a full-length novel by you sometime soon!

I could not be trusted with one of these.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want a bookshelf with a rolling ladder?

I read Cabin quite a few years ago and LOVED it, no idea why it's taken my this long to read another by Tremblay

I really hope so! I've built this up in my head after reading CATEOW quite a few years ago.

So sad to hear Tony Todd has passed. One of the greats!

Had a great time last night listening to Simon Reeve talk about his life and adventures. Some very poignant points about global warming and climate change. Snagged a copy of his latest book, too!

I guess now is a good a time as any to join this community! Hoping I can connect with the horror writing folks who call this place home.
