art by Jonathan LaMantia, a grizzled bearded face with too many eyes and a fir tree growing out of its head
art by Matt Blairstone; a massive ominous black tree towers over paper birches against a yellow background
art by Stefan Koidl, a living scarecrow with glowing eyes in a field against a sunset and small town in the background
art by Jonathan LaMantia, horror vacui fills every inch, a slasher and wolfen creature, standing stones that look like teeth, tendons and bones and skulls and slithering things, rendered in magnificent black and white

Hand holding two books with window and blue chair in the background. Books read: Bunny a novel by Mona Awad and The Black Lord by Colin Hinckley
I love when my currently reading matches 💅🏻💖💛🖤
Bunny is a re-read and I’m loving how creepy/disturbing The Black Lord is so far 🧌

Thanks Rebecca, what sterling company!
@ifbookspod.bsky.social the convergence
She is the show's protagonist, and I would kill for her
full wrap of THE BLACK LORD; yellow background, looming birch trees, and a hulking black monstrosity of a tree that overshadows them. THE BLACK LORD in a "folk horror"-y hand scrawl. Plus back cover copy.
Same, minus the trade dress

At least once a week, I wish desperately that I could text my cat
Personally, I love it. Was always hoping for an Authority and Acceptance movie, but that does not appear to be forthcoming
"This is a short but beautifully frightening story. It's been a long time since a book actually scared me, but this book has such a palpable feeling of dread and menace that it is hard to not be scared." -Roberto, Goodreads

Thank you, Laura, that means a lot. I had a piece in the May issue of Cosmic Horror Monthly if you're looking for more 👹
Picture shows the book "The Black Lord" by Colin Hinckley (yellow background with birch trees and an ominous black tree-like shape amongst them) and a cross stitch project (says "Witchcrafts" and shows various crafting tools like scissors and needles along with bats, crescent moons, and a cauldron) against a dark green background. Also includes the embroidery floss for the project (black, yellows, and silver-greys), scissors, and a a repurposed "mystifying mints" tin that looks like an outdated board.
Still reading, still crafting. ✨️

Immaculate vibes
cannot wait for this
AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.
Currently reading When the Wolf comes Home by @natcassidy.bsky.social and MAN does it fucking rule. My favorite line so far: "Aw, fuck, she traumatized him! Oh, well."
Really fun, really cool take on the werewolf. Loving the crap out of it
Just saw the delightful clown and a cornfield and @adamcesare.bsky.social I have to ask: are Rust and Cole a reference to True Detective?
Movie slaps, had a blast
Sometimes I need to "Crack" the cartilage in my ear like you do for your knuckles. Does anyone else do this?
@tananarivedue.bsky.social simply does not miss. This book got me fucked UP
Caveat :)
No reason, but what indie horror presses would be interested in a fucked up, backwoods alien novella do you think? 👀🛸
I'm really proud of this piece!!! I hope all you sickos (compliment) enjoy!!
The amount of times a day I wish I could text my cat
Its really good with a knockout ending
