That's awesome. And, heartwarming.
I mean, I'm always itching for my shift to end -- stockrooms don't really get along with my back, my knees, probably most of me -- but today? Running to what's ahead like a bat out of hell. And yeah, the soundtrack is that "anything for love" rapid piano riff on continuous loop.
Same here, yeah. Blocked that shit so fast.
Please tell me you also have bandages handy.
Definitely feeling gutted, yeah.
Was supposed to be coming home to a sweet Stephen Graham Jones book, but the package was stolen. Out of a package locker, even, but then I discovered anyone can go into the system and open random doors. Fucking bummer.
ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY closes with one knockout of a novella titled "Red Skies in the Morning" and we are bursting with excitement for more readers to experience @nadiabulkin.bsky.social's brain-melting masterpiece. Saints of cursed media look no further. Pre-order: ghoulish.rip/product/issu...
![āRed Skies in the Morning was my absolute favorite of the three [stories] and it had me locked in from the very beginning. This one borrows a bit from The Ring in that there are cursed videos that kill the people who watch them after seven days ā unless someone else comes and takes over the curse for them. But in Red Skies the concept is ramped up to a proper pandemic with multiple videos floating around and the government trying to figure out how to get control of the problem. I found this one to be the perfect mix of mystery and horror, and the pacing was perfectly on point.ā](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7dgkvcadifglq2iixkxdy24k/bafkreigejawkix56j7og2cypofmf64qdavo7pa24ukjrvlanp5nk5qhaxu@jpeg "Click to view full size")

If I were the right blood type, I'd volunteer in a heartbeat. Laird Barron has given so much to the horror-reading community. I'd love to see him return to health, be able to really enjoy life, and, yes, continue writing! If you have O-type blood and are in good health, you could be a horror heroā

Heads up: @joshmalerman.bsky.social contributes an essay to @raforall.bsky.socialās forthcoming anthology WHY I LOVE HORROR, and it reads like GK Chesterton. Simply brilliant. Thereās a passage that captures exactly how I feel about the potency of - and the hope to be found in - horror.

History in All Its Gory Glory: The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social reactormag.com/book-review-...
Strongest possible recommendation for @paultremblay.bsky.social's middle-grade novel Another. Spooky, character driven, tremendous fun. We've been getting a lot of middle grade readers coming through Book Moon asking for horror: this is exactly the book I'd put into their hands. But I loved it too!

My conversation with @johnlangan.bsky.social on his new collection LOST IN THE DARK turns to the numinous as he describes a ghostly encounter. Plus: we compare John's view of the dif between horror & the weird with @lairdbarron.bsky.social's & @michaelcisco.bsky.social's! youtu.be/6j6suOg1lBc?...
