Your monthly reminder:

Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.

Does it all connect? In my mind. #texaschainsawmassacre #blackflag

The best American movie & my favorite band both reached inside the American Dream & pulled back the wood paneling to reveal the rot festering underneath. Horror and punk rock are powerful vehicles for speaking truth to power.

Ok, I’ve let it set in a few days. #HouseofBoneandRain by @gabino.bsky.social is in short another win for Gabino. I’ve been a fan since #ZeroSaints came out, and I think House might be my favorite so far. 1/

I knew I’d be missing out by not seeing #Sinners in the theater, but I was not prepared for how fucking amazing this movie looks, from the first shot it’s a work of art. Aesthetically one of the best looking films I’ve seen in my life, a masterpiece that will inspire generations. /1

I haven’t felt compelled to buy an issue of #TheIncredibleHulk since 1988, when Todd McFarlane was doing the pencils. The cover is exquisite. Hopefully my library will have the first volume of the trade, because I need to read this run now.

Hey so today is the release day for Mark Jaskowski's Beneath the Swimming Pools, the Teeth! This novella packs a punch. Poor decisions, a brutal blackout, a body changing in bizarre ways, the downsides of friendship, and more.

The lights are on but no one is on the rides. The screams from inside the fun house have drawn quite a crowd. More cops keep going in but none have come out.

Hey y'all. This comes out in 5 days!
Low level crime, a blackout at a party, the mystery of what happened, and the question of why a body is changing. Body horror meets dirtbag noir. Like David Goodis and Clive Barker drinking 40s in the stairwell of a neglected apartment building. Shit rules.
