We write mysteries because justice lies behind the truth, horror stories because that's where our minds live, and children's books so maybe they won't have to live there too.

I started this account not too long ago, so a proper introduction feels overdue. My name’s Billy Graves—author, curator, and the odd soul behind Lacandon Jungle Press. This corner of the internet is my archive of books, stories, and small obsessions.
The Dock Ellis legend leaves a lot out. Seems of the Infinite looks between the cracks. ARC copies sent. More soon.

Writers be like "based on a true story" and then the story is "what if a cow spoke French and time was circular?"

Riley Gaines accomplished a lot as an athlete and advocate, no denying that from me. But libraries are about inclusion, curiosity, and access to every viewpoint, not culture wars. Her appointment to my local library board feels like putting politics where open minds should be.

The NFL’s pick of Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime show ignited backlash but the real story isn’t outrage. It’s proof the future of entertainment is multilingual, global, and streaming-first.

The NFL sticks with Bad Bunny, and MAGA Twitter is losing its collective mind. To think the league that books Rihanna, Dre, and Shakira and employs black men at an exponential rate was suddenly going to pivot to Kid Rock and a bald eagle.

I finally pulled the trigger and deleted my personal X/Twitter account I've had since 2012. I miss what it used to be, but that's never coming back. I'll make sure my timeline isn't the worst of the left, but I can stand them more than the worst of the right. This shouldn't even be political.

A no-hitter on LSD.
That part is real.

But in Seams of the Infinite,
the mound becomes a ritual circle.
The sky opens.
And baseball ends.
