Thinking and doing are good for you. You don't want atrophy of muscles, so why would you want the brain equivalent?

Just finished Coffin Moon by @keithrosson.bsky.social and it was even better than I expected. This will be a horror-comfort re-read/re-listen for me, like Salem’s Lot and IT have been for years.
Coffin Moon really is excellent.🖤
I’m going to get The Twisted Ones next. 😊
I’m going to get The Twisted Ones next. 😊
Two books for spooky season:
COFFIN MOON, Keith Rosson: Best modern vampire story ever (although it's set in the 70s).
THE TWISTED ONES, by T. Kingfisher: It lures you in with chatty good humor (especially about NPR Pledge Week) and a lovely dog...then slams the door and bites you in the dark.

I used to wonder what purpose my art had in the world and doubt my own usefulness. It is so clear now that my purpose, and everyone's when they create art, is fundamentally to keep people thinking and prevent the notion that there is only One Way of Being. There is NOT. There is a plurality, always.

ICYMI, I’m writing a quarterly column on collections of weird fiction. So far we’ve got an intro, one on Steve Rasnic Tem, Ananda Lima, and Christi Nogle, and another on John Langan, Rebecca Campbell, and B. Catling. There’s a lot of weird theorizing and words like “apophatic” and “genric”.
