“we have inside jokes” four-word saddest story every written, eat shit Hemingway

I don’t care if your book has a Paint cover. I don’t care if you have typos. I don’t care if you took the cover photo with your phone. But I do not want to read a book YOU DID NOT WRITE.

Writing requires you to write. To feel. To think. To impart that. That is step one to Being a Writer.

In trying times, remember that there are small ways to make a difference.

Saw this book online and knew I had to have it for the shelf. I guess its about an alien zombie that takes people on a car trip through Hell. Sounds good to me!
An 80s hardcover book called The The Vanishing Point by Alan Dean Foster. The cover is from the viewpoint of a backseat passenger. The driver is a zombie and they are driving down a desert road.

I'm sorry, Penta and Mysterio are amazing in the ring, but El Santo defeated Dracula, the Wolfman, Frankenstein's Monster, and countless other children of the night. We're it not for his tireless efforts to kill all monsters, the Earth would be crawling with unspeakable horrors.
Legendary Luchador and Monster Slayer, El Santo in his iconic silver mask and wearing a business suit.

Found another 80s horror book with a cool cover but this one is actually a hardcover. One more for the shelf.

A hrdcover copy of Catacombs by John Farris. The cover is black with red text. The title of the book is incorporated into a face of a demon below so it looks like it has horns.

Another great find at the thrift store for the horror bookshelf.
An 1987 hardcover book called Unsolved Classic True Murder Cases. The cover is black with a white illustration of a dead body with a pool of red blood. Examples include Lizzie Borden and Jack the Ripper.

I was hoping to come across a vintage printing of this instead of a modern one, but with a cover like that for 50 cents at the thrift store, I'll take it.
The book Hell House by Richard Matheson. The cover is black with a red image of a house where one side said Hell House.

Found some old vampire horror paperbacks at the thrift store. Vampire Junction is supposed to be about a vampire pop star so that's gotta be pushed near the top of the reading list.
Three horror paperback books about vampires. One seems to be on stage as a musical performer.

I picked up a stack of first edition John Bellairs books with Edward Gorey covers for almost nothin' recently. Horror themed young reader books. I've never heard of these so I gave one a read and yeah this is great. Looking forward to checking the other ones out.
The Ghost in the Mirror hardcover book by John Bellairs. The cover is a black and white illustration of a young girl standing in front of a huge rock with a book on the ground in front of her.

I made this voting button at a school event for the 1992 presidential election and I still think it's my best work ever.
A voting button that says "Your're smart. Vote." With a stick figure blowing up in a nuclear explosion saying "I didn't vote." The button is clearly drawn by a child.

Glad to see my intense fear of horses is justified.

i knew horses were dangerous but i didn't know how bad it was
A photoshopped chart of The World's deadliest animals and besides Humans at 475,000 deaths a year, snakes at 50,000 deaths a year, the horse is shown as causing 1.35 million deaths a year. But the source listed is the Twitter user Chazakiel as this is a joke.
