Just finished Morgan is My Name by Sophie Keetch. This was a solidly woven reimagining of Morgan La Fey, albeit at times a bit drawn out. 3.75 stars.

Just finished Neuromancer by William Gibson. This book was a fun cyberpunk story and given it was the forerunner of the whole genre, it deserved a 4 star review.

Just finished reading The Witch and the Tsar by Olesya Salnovika Gilmore. This reimagining of Baba Yaga in the era of Ivan the Terrible is a solidly woven love letter to Slavic mythology even if it has a bit of an off pacing. 4 stars.

Just finished The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno Garcia. Some of the structural choices were questionable, characters weren’t too deep and the way things played out felt pretty predictable, but I had fun. 3.75 stars

The Trump administration’s stance on SNAP, summarized
Image of Yzma from Emperor’s New Groove saying ‘it is no concern of mine whether your family has…what was it again?’ To a man who says ‘uhm, food.’ Yzma: ‘Ha! You really should’ve thought of that before you became peasants.’

Decided to bring together lingering Samhain energies with yesterday’s full moon to do something to help open up my intuition and awareness.

Finished Katabasis by RF Kuang. I really liked this book and thought it wove together a lot of interesting philosophical concepts and mythologies. I was hooked throughout even if it did sometimes feel a bit pretentious (which I think was deliberate). 4.5 stars.

Just finished I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. This vampire apocalypse story is interesting in premise but unfortunately the short length makes the story less compelling overall. 3.5 stars.

I also read My Darling Dreadful Thing by Johanna Van Veen. This gothic romance with horror elements was overall compelling, but I was expecting one more confrontation of some sort and a bit more clarity in the ending. 3.75 stars

Just finished Cold Eternity by S.A. Barnes. This sci-fi horror story does a good job of creating tension and creeping dread with a more original monster than I expected. 4.5 stars.

Just finished We Sold Our Souls by Grady Hendrix. This was a nice love letter to the metal genre as well as a more unique twist to the classic ‘rock star sells his soul for fame’ trope. I binge read it in about two days so I feel like I have to give it 4.5 stars.

In the last two days I read Strange Houses and Strange Pictures by Uketsu back to back. These were both VERY compelling and gruesome mystery/horror stories. I liked Strange Houses slightly more but both earned an easy 4.5 stars

My fiancee and I have created a spooky bucket to help us ring in Halloween by picking movies for us. Strong start!

I picked up UFOs and the White House from my library because I was hoping for wild ideas. I was mostly disappointed but the best part of the book is the part where the authors go ‘Hillary Clinton’s campaign was sabotaged by the UFO conspiracy so Trump and Bannon could help aliens end the world.’

Just finished Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant. This was a well-woven story of mermaid* horror that kept me hooked. The characters were compelling and the narrative voice really worked for me. 4.75 stars

Just finished Tell Me I’m Worthless by Allison Rumfitt. I REALLY wanted to like this queer horror story but I found the rambling and at times pretentious narration very off putting. The characters went beyond flawed into straight up unlikable so I gave 2.75 stars.

I fear this man may have gotten lost on the way to Anchorage.
Dear Lisa Murkowski, “All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men (and women) to do nothing” Isn’t it time you started caucusing with Democrats in a ‘save democracy’ coalition?

Some more signs
Sign with a drawing of a frog saying “RESIST” And “NO KINGS” “The only Kings I support play hockey”. The ‘kings’ is the Los Angeles Kings logo “IMMIGRANTS ARENT CRIMINALS, THE PRESIDENT IS “BEST FRIENDS FOREVER,” over a statue of Trump holding hands with Epstein and ‘TRUMP RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES’

Wish it wasn’t necessary to stand up to fascism but glad at how many are willing to do so.
A person in a pink inflatable frog costume holding a ‘ABOLISH ICE FREE PALESTINE’ flag A sign saying ‘My grandad fought Nazis, this is what Antifa looks like’ on a black and white photo of a U.S. soldier holding a rocket launcher or bazooka A pink sign saying ‘stop trying to make fascism happen, it’s not going to happen’ ‘The only orange monarch we need’ surrounding a picture of a monarch butterfly
