What a powerful story about a place that turns their dead into drinks.

For my non-Brazilian friends: you have absolutely no idea how speculative is to live in Brazil. Really. I would gladly spend hours in a panel telling you about things like saci-pererê, Chico Xavier and Fundação Cacique Cobra Coral. Maybe THEN you'll understand our close relationship with fantasy.

10p: “A Weird cult that sends you a magazine in the mail every few months” except we promise there’s no poison kool-aid to drink at the end of it.

Only regular kool-aid🖤☠️
THE SKULL & LAUREN - ISSUE 003 (via @tenebrouspress.bsky.social )

Columns of meat birthed on cursed cattle ranches. The partial assimilation of a petrochemical nightmare. Flocks of mutated seagulls that can strip a car bare. A weird cult that sends you a magazine in the mail every few months.

11:11. Luz do corredor acendeu. Espiei no olho mágico. Ninguém lá fora.
É prédio antigo, alguma pane. Acontece direto. 11:11, luz acende.
11:10, escuro lá fora. Abri a porta na esperteza, pra confirmar que eu sabia o que já sabia.
Foi por descrença que deixei ninguém entrar.
