If I can sell 100 tickets, you'll have a fucking BRILLIANT time listening to me talk about finding lost ghost stories and reading one and I'll be able to have a comfortable Xmas and make sure that most of January's bills are taken care of.
We'll be marking the release of this brand-new anthology of lost ghost stories, collated by acclaimed editor Johnny Mains, on the 18th December - just the thing to add some fear to your festivities... www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/illusions-... #ghoststory #ghoststories #anthology #fiction

There are always going to be people who, sincere or otherwise, want all art to conform to their controlling bland "manager policing their workers' bodily autonomy" perspective.
And it's important to shut those people out in the cold and create art of wild indulgence and freako obsessions 🤘

You GOTTA stop being so desperately afraid of the audience. Look at me. Look in my eyeballs. Stop being so desperate for approval. Stop writing for the whiny babies in your audience and start writing for the freaks who like cool fucked up shit

We do this constantly in Britain, usually by saying: “My new book is coming in April! ‘Travesty of Horseshit: How everyone was lying about the catastrophic events, and we all knew but repeated their drivel and kept quiet for five years about the bad stuff’, at all good bookshops RRP £14.99”.
every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

The period where the IDF were firing machine guns at people trying to pick up bags of flour was one of the most despicable things I’ve seen in this country: every day for weeks, people behaving like something confusing and hard to understand was happening, because they couldn’t say what they saw.

Lovely to see that it's now considered cool and good to be a vehement lefty who loves socialism but if you called people like me a stupid naive cunt and dick-rode the reasonable centre between 2016 and 2024 I DO remember because I'm not above petty fuckery. Anyway. Welcome, comrade.

THE SOUND OF THE DARK by Daniel Church – Blog Tour Review
The nitty-gritty: Daniel Church takes on cosmic horror in this oppressive, dread-inducing tale full of eerie imagery and tension, perfect for horror fans looking for a unique story. The Sound of the Dark was not what I expected, and I’m happy to say that’s a good thing. Daniel Church has written a dark story about a podcaster who stumbles upon a dangerous set of cassette tapes while researching her latest project, only to find herself with a weird, terrifying infection.
