Currently reading The Works Of Vermin by @hironennes.bsky.social and I'm honestly blown away. It's absolutely amazing. Every sentence is poetry. Just a glorious read.

So stoked to share that there is still genuinely, excellently frightening horror out there

I’m almost done with it now (I’ve been savoring it slowly) and The Works of Vermin by @hironennes.bsky.social might very well be one of the best books I’ve ever read. Period. I’ve already waxed feverish over its prose so I’ll spare you that this time. But you must read this book.

Just finished this. What a f***ing masterpiece. Threads of Peake, and Cisco, perhaps? But absolutely it's own thing. We only get a handful of writers this good in our timelines, everyone interested in Weird fic needs to read @hironennes.bsky.social now. My review hopefully soonish in a mag near you.

Holy shit I’m a third of the way into @hironennes.bsky.social WORKS OF VERMIN and they are now one of my favorite writers all the Byzantine feral layered prose of Wolfe or Peake and the modern brutal verve and sensibilities of Mariana Enriquez synthesized into a wholly unique voice all of their own

I finished reading this today, and it might be my favourite book of the year so far. A beautiful, ornate, sticky, slippery thing about art and metamorphosis. It's Peake-influenced in all the right ways, blackly funny even in its darkest corners. And so, so full of wriggling, crawling things.

Hell yeah maybe people will stop using it and we will FINALLY see a decline in the amount of damage this fucking website does to cultural discourse.
TV Tropes is blocking access to the site not only if you have ad blockers on but location tracking off unless you want to subscribe to their $5 a month/$25 a year subscription plan. Even people who have turned their ad blockers off are reporting the site isn’t working. This all seems like a bad idea

It's #WorldOperaDay, so I had to pull together some of my favorite operatic books. From the wide expanse of space to Weird Cities in trees, from the reception of a Problematic Fave to squid operas inspired by his work, this art form moves the spirit and shakes the rafters. See any faves?
