Currently reading "How to Fake a Haunting," and am really enjoying it. @christaqua.bsky.social was also very nice when she signed my copy at the Merrimack Valley Halloween Book Festival.

Never give up.
Somewhere in the world, there's a haunted manor house on the moors with a mysterious caretaker, indifferent cats, and secret libraries within libraries, waiting for you in the darkness.

Took a writing break and walked in the woods. Reading & hiking fuel the soul.

Highly recommend this vivid & scary read.
Heard y’all are doing Noirvember? Well, this kicks off with someone’s mom taking two to the face while working and then gets dark. Literally and figuratively. I promise. It’s what barrio noir does.

People with autism aren't broken toys to be "fixed." Respect & seeking to understand reputable science would be nice.

Reading the very dark & very vivid "Fox" by @joycecaroloates.bsky.social. The abuser's pov is so well-crafted and disturbing. Damn, it's terribly good.

Books are good!
Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.
