Thanks for the #nightmares, Michael.

I #read "Transcribing Moonlight" by Skylar Kay. I was so moved by it. A most intimate collection, it encapsulates the facets of being a trans woman from a uniquely personal experience. Pick this book up if you want to see through new eyes.

5/5: I met Skylar Kay in passing at a few poetry events in Calgary. Eventually we actually spoke to each other and I started to learn more about her, including that she wrote a collection of haibun ca...

I #read "My Soft Response to the Wars" by RC Weslowski. A wonderful #collection of #poetry that will make you feel the full spectrum of emotions. Hilarity wrapped up with everything else, much like it is in life.

Samantha's review of My Soft Response to the Wars
5/5: I got to see RC Weslowski perform at the Calgary Poetry Slam on August 11th, 2025. It was dynamic, hilarious, and heartfelt. It felt like he filled those special moments with his vivid lifeforce,...

I #read "The Other Passenger" by John Keir Cross. I think he and I would have hung out and discussed body horror at length if we had lived at the same time. A fine collection of eerie tales.

My ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #review is now available on GoodReads: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Samantha's review of The Other Passenger
4/5: I found a little piece of myself in John Keir Cross' writing. Some parts were a bit slow for me (probably because it is written in the early 1900s), but it also has a surprisingly modern tone tha...

I #read "The Black Carnival" by @harlequingrim.bsky.social, courtesy of @netgalley.bsky.social. Intriguing depictions of the lives of a mortician and The Black Carnival & how they meet, this comes out October 25th, 2025 to enjoy for Halloween!

4/5: I have to admit that it took me a while to get through this book. It reminded me of the dryness of reading Victorian novels at times, and that it wasn't quite sure what its tale wanted to be. Yet...

I #watched "Sinners" the other night and I've got to say, that was a lot of fun. I haven't seen anything like it. Music was fantastic, ominous undercurrents made me feel like I was in danger, which was awesome. Great acting, incredible music, satisfying #horror. I loved the hell out of it.

I #watched "Presence" last night. The whole movie is from the perspective of a Presence in the house, watching the occupants. It was super eerie, melancholic, and I truly enjoyed this point of view. It made me feel like a ghost. I'd give this a 3.5/5 ⭐ rating.

I #watched "Bring Her Back" tonight. The Philippou brothers have done it again. "Talk To Me" was one of my favourite movies of the decade, and this one is an easy second. These horror movies make me afraid to go to sleep without the lights on, and manage to make me cry because they're so emotional.

Man, I'm so thrilled that I got to see Amigo the Devil live today at the Calgary Stampede! What an a wicked show. After, Danny was signing stuff beside the stage & I was lucky enough to thank him for his awesomeness, shake his hand, & my fiancé got his cowboy hat signed! Bucket list item checked. ✅

I #read "Victorian Psycho" by #VirginiaFeito in quick fashion. A Cutting, hilarious, and female-forward #horror #book. Thank you @paultremblay.bsky.social and Virginia Feito for inspiring me to read this after the Zoom meeting promoting it!

I just #watched "The Ugly Stepsister" on #Shudder for the first time. It's Norwegian, so there are subtitles, and it was SO good and SO effing gross! An amazing take on the Cinderella fairy tale. Definitely check it out. WOAH.

I watched "Final Destination: Bloodlines," I really enjoyed it! Some things were over the top, it was funnier than the rest I think, but the gore and anticipation were all great. Tony Todd's last appearance, gah, I'm missing that guy! Hope I can follow his suggestion and live life to the fullest. 💜

Look at this dirty, dirty Monday Martini I made. Pairs well with SpongeBob SquarePants and no pants (at home).

I'm going to carry this book around like the log lady in Twin Peaks.

I #read "I Have Forsaken Heaven & Earth, but Never Forsaken You" by MA Hui, translated by @leileichenleilei.

This collection of poetry is vivid and impacting, each word packing a punch. I felt dreamy reading it, carried by waves and floating clouds.

I #watched "Final Prayer" (or "The Borderlands") for the first time last night at the behest of my cousin. Well that was a terrifying #horror #movie with an ending that left me wide-eyed and horrified. Great found-footage feel and I was quite interested in the characters. Highly recommend!
