FINALLY sitting down to The Saucerian by @secret-terror.bsky.social - a fitting read for Mothman Festival weekend. We are huge Saucerian collectors and I'm thrilled Barker is getting his posthumous flowers.

Currently reading: Psychic Sasquatch and the UFO Connection, a great late '90s tome full of anecdotes that assert that bigfoot pretty much runs off vibes. Sure! Maggie approves.

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.

A teenage boy with leg prosthetics who can see ghosts teams up with a transmasc boy, also a seer, to save the ghost population of York from a mysterious threat.
