The women I’ve fumbled could start their own Charlie’s Angels team.

The only real anxiety I have about death is the possibility of not finishing my TBR pile.

Audiobooks have existed for nearly a century and major publishers are still selling full priced versions with chapter breaks that aren’t time stamped.

We’ve been to the moon. Get your shit together.

I’m trying to take better care of myself after recovering from a liver transplant, but my Lanebreak Hardstyle EDM playlist ended with an Imagine Dragons song and I almost broke my ankle trying to skip it. Perhaps exercise is not for me.

My life is mostly long bouts of tedium between episodes of Yellowjackets.

Many lords will try to convince ye that an Armet or Mantlehelm is the best headwear for the tourney but real ones know the Brocas helmet is thee dripper’s choice.

This take is correct. If I say Texas Chainsaw Massacre is better than Popcorn and you disagree, the worst that will happen is we will both be like β€œhell yeah.”

Censure is about as consequential as having to report for high school detention, so PLEASE keep heckling him.

I never respond to sales emails at my day job, but I always reply to the Gen AI people. I try to hit a balance of cordiality and hatred that will make their email summarizer sound sort of mean.

A Severance spinoff romcom about Irving, Burt, and Fields would probably be a lot more fun to keep up with.

Modern rap is soft. Ye would’ve had his ass beat for this in the 90s.

Fuck AI always, but that video of Zelensky decking President Shitbag is going on a loop in my brain.

The Vourdalak reminded me of three things my body needs from a film: puppets, 16mm photograpy, and the guiding spirit of Jean Rollin.

If you like it weird and/or witchy, you could do a lot worse than securing yourself a volume from the occult revival library @snugglybooks.bsky.social hath wrought upon thee Earth.

These copies came to me via the remarkably expedient @asterismbooks.bsky.social

I’m a big believer in the idea that our fiction manifests our future, and the last ten years of horror have frequently focused on the Satanic Panic in a way that often feels nostalgic.

Welp, it’s coming back quick and I promise you ain’t gonna dig it.

Today is the 45th anniversary of Cannibal Holocaust. I saw it 20-odd years ago on a blind date. We were certain the name was satirical and it would be some kind of fun B movie romp.

Obviously, this misunderstanding did not result in a second date. But the shared trauma is a lasting bond.

Bigfoot and Jesus hit it off immediately and do a series of classic buddy comedies where they have a lot of fun and maybe even learn a l’il something along the way.

Realizing that you’ve just about fully recovered from an organ transplant just in time to watch the total collapse of your country is a pretty interesting vibe.

Movie theatres should not have menus. No one wants to hear other people eating cobb salad in the dark.

Five years ago today I decided it was time to sober up. My life, career, and creative output have all benefitted immensely from that decision. It isn’t always easy, but it has never been harder than I can handle. To paraphrase the I Ching β€”the abyss is never overflowing, only filled to the rim.

One of my favorite literary games is when authors tag their colleagues in their work. A recent example from my reading is a certain guide book from a Laird Barron story showing up in shorts by both Paul Tremblay and John Langan.
If you know this specific
reference, are there other appearances?

I assume I’m not a bot.
But sometimes, in my darkest hours, I begin to wonder.
