Album Review : Demon King - Death Knell (2025) — Dead End Follies
It’s fun. It’s exhausting. And if that contradiction bothers you, congratulations: you’ve finally understood tech death.

Book Review : Thomas Pynchon - Inherent Vice (2009) — Dead End Follies
You don’t just read Pynchon. You enter a hall of mirrors built by a man who refuses to show his face even when it’s "supposed" to be easy.

I think this is probably my funnest & grossest novel. I wrote it while we were on set filming a movie & I was probably the happiest I'd ever been in my life & I think it shows in the text. a joyous celebration of body horror. you should read it sometime. maybe even review it? tell a friend? 🥹

I love how the house is turbo haunted out of nowhere in a residential district. Ghosts just decided to chill there for some reason 😂 #Poltergeist

Watching Poltergeist for the first time tonight. Love how the mon thought it was a good idea to flush the dead bird in the toilet. When you’re a kid, you think every adult is smart. Maturity entails the acceptance that morons can reproduce and look like kid show hosts #Poltergeist #MovieSky #FilmSky

Book Review : Richard Matheson - Hell House (1971) — Dead End Follies
Hell House endures because it’s not really about haunting, it’s about how hard it is to let anything go.
