OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

A render of a jumping spider on a white background. His cephalothorax (head/body section) is hidden, revealing a bunch of weird internal parts and some nuts and bolts. His black eyes float on stalks, which are actually there to hold the eyes in their sockets (which are in the cephalothorax piece).

Reengineering the assembly of this jumping gentleman. Here his cephalothorax is open so that you can see all the nuts, bolts, and protrusions holding him together. Just about ready to print... πŸ› οΈ

I hate to be that guy, but this is the five-alarm fire, and every elected Democrat and frankly, every Washington reporter should be ringing the bell. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. Nobody with a voice should give this administration a moment’s peace about it.

I've been a bit bummed since yesterday because of this. I know it's basically tariff roulette, so who knows where we will be when the plush arrive.

Mind went immediately to the final section with the "a shadow of the unspeakable horror which years after my deliverance continued to make my days and nights dreadful, and solitude insupportably terrific."

A storm is brewing in the mind… This hand-drawn ink illustration is my tribute to The Lighthouse, the haunting psychological horror film by Robert Eggers. Featuring the tormented lighthouse keepers, portrayed by Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson, this artwork captures the film’s descent into madness, isolation, and the unknown. Swirling tentacles weave through the scene, embodying the Lovecraftian horror and maritime folklore that permeate the movie’s atmosphere.

Rendered in black and white, the high-contrast ink style mirrors the film’s stark cinematography, evoking themes of paranoia, myth, and psychological torment. The ominous lighthouse stands as a beaconβ€”or a curseβ€”against the stormy sky, while the full moon casts an eerie glow over the chaotic composition. Are these horrors real, or just figments of a fractured mind?

This piece is a love letter to fans of dark, surreal, and atmospheric horror, blending nautical nightmares with classic gothic storytelling. Let me know what you think, and feel free to share your own interpretations of The Lighthouse!

In 2020, when I had my 6th novel out (Mexican Gothic) and @sgj.bsky.social had The Only Good Indians at the same, I remember several stories about us describing us as debut novelists (those books broke out for us but we were both crusty oldies). Still makes me laugh. Sell a million copies, buddy.
