Nightmarish and unrelenting. So intensely bleak, man. Ugh I loved this… Will probably need to reread at some point soon because there’s so much to dissect.

Emma E. Murray is one of the most audacious and fearless authors of transgressive fiction. Exquisite prose coupled with absolutely depraved imagery. This is splendid news!! ❤️

A stunning portrait of disintegration and depravity. The ending was especially chilling… Bataille really is the GOAT. I loved this so much!!

We Are Always Tender With Our Dead is one of those books that you'll be thinking about long after you finish reading it. It'll stay with you, creeping up on you in the dark when you least expect it. Its very disturbing. Its also brilliant.

I know many new writers worry about how readers will receive their work. That’s a valid concern! That said, two things:
1. This gig is only worth it if you write what YOU want.
2. Some will hate your stuff, but some will like it. Your readers. They’re awesome. Write for them.

The first mulled cider of the season was a success. I used Aspen spices and a shot of dark rum. For those who always ask, here are the books and blu-rays on the coffee table. Lots of good titles in both piles.

If I didn't love writing, I wouldn't do it.
Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.
