Filtered Reality: The Progenitors and Evolution of Found Footage Horror' paperback book. The cover has a central eye with a camera lens inside with tree branches/roots above and below, and the text is stylised to look like vintage embossed labels. Further text: Foreword by Stephen Volk; Introduction by Aislínn Clarke; Edited by Rebecca Booth & Valeska Griffiths. Overview of Filtered Reality (text: Filtered Reality is our love letter to found footage horror. Featuring a foreword from Stephen Volk (Ghostwatch) and an introduction from Aislínn Clarke (The Devil’s Doorway), the book's sixteen chapters are divided into two sections — Progenitors and Evolution — to chart the genesis of the contemporary found footage horror film. The first section includes influences such as epistolary Victorian horror novels (Dracula), radio hoaxes (The War of the Worlds), and the mondo film (Cannibal Holocaust), before the second explores subjects ranging from digital folklore (The Blair Witch Project), to video games (Resident Evil), to post-cinematic horror (Host) — and what lies beyond… Our collectible first-edition paperbacks include a themed, numbered bookplate and a reversible bookmark.)

“So shines a good deed in a weary world.”
A really bad day at work yesterday, but a few employees surprised me with this.
A pick up truck came through our drive thru and it had a bed full of pumpkins. The employees talked to the driver to get a pumpkin, and the decorated it for me. ❤️

Thanks, guys!

Rick Powell's review of Maldoror and the Complete Works
3/5: I can see the attraction this has to the Surrealists of our time, but to me, some of this was a struggle to get through. Picture if Edgar Allan Poe wrote American Psycho by way of William S. Burr...

A friend sent me this gravestone rubbing from The First Church of Christ cemetery in East Haddam, Connecticut.

The SAME headstone that Zora Lampert makes a rubbing of from a scene in Let’s Scare Jessica to Death, so I had an idea to make a collage of sorts with a frame that I had:

Image: two greetings cards, notebook, gold pen, black envelopes, and lament configuration, surrounded by leaves. The first card blends the character of Pinhead with Valak from The Conjuring 2 (“Angels to nun, demons to others...”), and the second card draws from the Scared Sacred's illustrated chapters to complete the set (“Malice in Chains”).
