The jealous pixies of technology can't stop the stories! @comptonwrites.bsky.social read an eerie noir tale, and @deeholloway.bsky.social read two very different and richly voiced stories FROM THE VOID OF DARKNESS. You can still watch! #StoryHour2020 www.facebook.com/watch/live/?...

Story Hour (feat. Johnny Compton and Dee Holloway) | Johnny Compton...www.facebook.com Johnny Compton reads "The Ref" and Dee Holloway reads "The Glover's Bride" and "Downstairs at Dino's."

I'll be back on Story Hour tomorrow evening. Can't wait!

Don't miss @comptonwrites.bsky.social and @deeholloway.bsky.social on Story Hour this Wednesday!

Looking for a unique haunted house novel? I suggest @comptonwrites.bsky.social's The Spite House. Lovely prose, multifaceted characters, layered meaning, and a novel perspective on the supernatural create a deeply enjoyable novel about family and the meaning of death. #horrorlit #bookreview 📚😱📚

I'm supposed to be writing evil shit, but Goapele's latest jumped into my recommendations to throw my vibe into a "semi-melancholic, hoplelessly hopeful love story" atmosphere. youtu.be/Na_mgTKWsJI?... It's my fault for having her "Things Don't Exist" in my eerie working music playlist, but damn.

THE SPITE HOUSE made Esquire's Best Horror of 2023. Keeping terrific company. www.esquire.com/entertainmen...

The Best Horror Books of 2023 Will Scare You Sh*tlesswww.esquire.com Our favorite hell-raising reads of the year (so far) are pushing the genre in outrageous new directions.

The rampage at the end of Firestarter (1984) is incredibly gratifying. Just a few steps behind Django on the "I'm thorougly enjoying this destruction of horrible people" scale.

Finding masks in the outdoor decorations section.

A couple of book experiences: I'm not a "finished it in one day!" kind of reader, but I finished @danielkraus.bsky.social 's WHALEFALL in one day. I almost ran out of gas because I was so caught up in the audiobook of @tananarivedue.bsky.social 's THE WISHING POOL. Not exaggerating. Odometer on 0.
