Who am I to refuse Absolution when Jeff VanderMeer offers it? Can't wait to stay up all night reading this like I did with the Southern Reach trilogy.
Did you know? If you've been bad this year, you can buy and read my novel Absolution and be absolved of anything below a misdemeanor?

I will never forgive Grayzone Media hacks like Aaron Maté and Max Blumenthal for manufacturing consent on Assad's brutal dictatorship over the years. A true betrayal of the left. I have utter contempt for their ilk.
The Syria Test has been the leading indicator on whether someone is a piece of shit since 2012 at least.
Happy Assad Eating Shit day!
I haven’t forgotten or forgiven all you utter degenerates who defended an evil dictator who used chemical weapons on his own people, and I never will!

For me, it's loads of ambient/experimental music. We're talking Godspeed! You Black Emperor, black midi, Brian Eno, Collin Stenson, Esmerine, Aphex Twin etc.

Brushing up on my Bengali because I'd love to be able to write horror in my first language as well. I've written in other genres in Bengali when I was younger, mostly with Kafkaesque leanings, but my culture has so much terrifying folklore to explore.

Imagine being a right-wing neo-Nazi loser who co-opts the title of a book written by Orwell. This is conservatives talking about Rage Against the Machine all over again.

Here's a pic of a chill little guy who shows up on my deck every day around noon-ish. I usually spend the rest of the afternoon writing next to him. I've been living at this house for a year now. Still no idea which neighbour's cat this is.
