Stunned into silence after reading this profoundly original and haunting prose poem of a novel.

My fave Sabbath album. My earliest memory of Sabbath is being terrified and transfixed listening to the crackling vinyl playing 'Hand of Doom' from 'Paranoid' one September afternoon in Grade 7, high on hash oil at JB's dimly-lit apartment. Thanks, John Darnielle. @themountaingoats.bsky.social

We are heart-broken to have had to say goodbye to our love, Molly. She had many nicknames: Mollywog, Lil' Bruiser, Lil' Owl. She has gone to be with the love of her life, Boo, who moved on some years ago. Rest in peace, Molly. We miss you so much and love you forever.

" The air has all at once become edible. Only those who have breathed it can understand the merit of this term. The lungs become an instrument of cognition."

One evening in late June 1984, I sat alone inside the Seville Theatre on St. Catherine Street in downtown Montreal and watched my first David Lynch film: Eraserhead (1977).

Rest in peace.
