"Like a magician declining to explain his tricks, Mr. Lynch refused to discuss the meaning of his films. “I like things that leave some room to dream,” he told the New York Times in 1995. “A lot of mysteries are sewn up at the end, and that kills the dream.”

Stealing this from Christina's Threads page to reiterate for my Bluesky followers. Everyone's journey is unique and what you see through social media is hardly ever reality.
I have a blog post about this very thing you can check out if at all interested (see first comment).

Have you ever discovered an author that isn’t new to the world, but is new to you, and it feels as if you’re world has expanded somehow? Now you have so many more books to read by this particular writer... Who is that author for you?

I'll always remember reading Conrad Aiken's short story "Silent Snow, Secret Snow" for the first time. Here's my swing at a strange, nostalgia-soaked winter/snow short:

A CAROL FOR HIRAETH by Hamelin Bird Perseverance. It’s something I see long forgotten in the faces of our town. It’s in the eyes, mostly. It’s when I pass them on the street and they glare at me...

Just want to take a moment and acknowledge that today’s edition of The New York Times Book Review has not one but two heavy-hitting writers covering horror. Emily Hughes gets the cover story reviewing Elizabeth Hand’s A Haunting on the Hill and Gabino Iglesias gets the horror roundup inside.
