70/2025 was The Wayfarer's Weird from @blpublishing.bsky.social Tales of the Weird! Man, I love this series so so much. Some truly excellent stuff in here including from Lisa Tuttle, Ramsey Campbell and Alison Littlewood! And new-to-me authors like LTC Holt (Aickman's mate 😁)

I'm wearing one of my hand-knitted cosy cardigans and eating broth with homemade bread. Sometimes the only thing that helps the SAD is to go full-on hashtag autumncore.

Hi hello just a reminder that JAMIE HALLOW exists and I'm very very very proud of it! Absolutely no-one is calling it the unholy lovechild of MEAN GIRLS, HP Lovecraft, and Hugh Howey's WOOL. But they might.
