I really don't understand centrists in this country. These sides really seem equal to you?

Wow. This movie was a wild ride. O Brother Where Art Thou meets Django with a splash of Salem's Lot. Absolutely 10/10 watch for me.

It's honestly horrific the number of great books we will all miss out on due to language barriers. Sometimes I wonder if the best book ever written is circulating right now, but it's somewhere far away and only available in its mother tongue.

I'm really enjoying 11/22/63, but all the scenes where the high school students love Mr. A and cheer for him at school dances and drag him on stage at plays feels like a depressed school teacher's day dream. That shit does not happen lol. Great read, though.

If you're a lesser-known/unknown horror writer tell me the name of your book. This spookaholic needs to refresh his "to read" pile and is hungry for fresh meat.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.
When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Can we skip to the part where he's found in a bunker and all these weirdos start saying they didnt have a choice and were just following orders? I'm already so tired of watching history repeat.

Hey guys, a billionaire who under pays his workers and wants the government to control how you identify, who is deported and what you can do with your own bodies is never, I said never, punk.

I really enjoyed this one, but highly recommend checking the trigger warnings beforehand if you prefer to avoid SA and animal suffering. Great ending. It's 4 stars from me, dog. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The more Christmas lights I see go up around the neighborhood, the further away from Halloween I feel.

Finished reading Head Full of Ghosts by @paultremblay.bsky.social and I gotta say, I do not understand how people don't auto 5-star this one.
I also did not feel the ending was ambiguous at all, which is a common point I see brought up in reviews. It told us exactly what happened.

I made this Horror Community Starter pack with established horror creators - and I still have plenty of people to add. (Stephen King isn't even on mine yet - but he doesn't post.)
I've seen other horror lists that also include new and aspiring horror creators, horror fans, etc.
