See those little mushrooms on the cover? They play a very important role in this creepy, gothic story and I loved it.

This is streaming on @shudder.com if you missed it way back when like I did and If you love a good mean girl being a mean girl story.

Heathers still wins the category but this one is pretty good too.

This was an excellent tale of rage that simmered, stewed, and boileth over. Good stuff.

That would work. This is my set up. It’s ugly but it works. I always have a few in different stages and lost one of the covers somewhere along the way.

Benny got a new bandanna at the emergency vet today which he tried to eat as soon as I took this pic. He’s ok thank goodness but my wallet not so much 🫠
