Archaeology horror is a niche I've been into lately, and @stevetoase.bsky.social 's forthcoming collection Dirt Upon My Skin scratched that itch. It's beautiful, unexpected, and mind-bending. My review is a bit early, but you can pre-order the book from the wonderful @blackshuckbooks.bsky.social

Book Review: Dirt Upon My Skin by Steve Toasetheharvestmaidsrevenge.com Black Shuck Books is becoming one of my favorite small presses. In the last year, I've enjoyed Neil Williamson’s novella Charlie Says, a folk horror romp through 1970s British public information films...

Beach read, 2nd time thru, @almakatsu.bsky.social breaks the ribs of history open for the bloody story beneath. So much hardship, so much fun.

"Say, is that a spiffy new header at cheercaptain.bandcamp.com ?" Why yes it is! Thank you for noticing. Perhaps that's the start of the rollout for the next EP? Who can say.

I’d like to spread the word about “Cutter’s Deep” to a larger audience but I’m just one guy. I’m asking anyone who sees this to share, retweet and if you’ve read it to maybe add some thoughts. It won’t cost you a penny and it sure would help. Thanks in advance. 😀 www.amazon.com/CUTTERS-DEEP...

When you start thinking that people who make dark art must surely be dark people, remember that Cannibal Corpse vocalist George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher is famous for playing claw machines on tour and donating the stuffed animals he wins to local toy drives and children's hospitals.

One thing I've always loved is when a book is so propulsive & compelling that you simply can't stop reading it. Two of the BEST books recently that did just that were FOE & William. Both are tension-filled with twists & turns & both have remained front-of-mind since I read them.

ten year old me filling up cue cards for "types of medieval weapons" and "kinds of fruit" because this is what Redwall taught me I needed to know before writing a novel.

Came across The Wasp Factory in my teens after having read a lot of big name horror and pulp - there was something different here: vicious, isolated, methodical. Diary of a madman and so messed that I would be a Banks fan forever. (Too bad it's Gaimen's byline, tho this novel deserves its praise)

This one, more than most, makes me feel old. When The Wasp Factory came out I’d just started on Fleet Street and Iain was still working round the corner on Chancery Lane. I can still remember the fuss when it came out.

Whelan pulls back the curtain just enough that I love this painting even more. Now excuse me while I go put on some Sepultura.

ARISE (1990) Mixed media - 20" x 20" I took the opportunity with this commission—an album cover for Sepultura—to experiment and have fun. After completing a small stack of tone renderings of textures and distorted faces, I photocopied them, cut them out, and recombined them. 1/3

Turned 44. Gathered the wind, chained the sun - done running a long time ago.

Thrilled to be a part of CHM’s Ligotti tribute issue. My story “The Server Room” had been years in development & I couldn’t quite crack it until this call went out. Enjoyed playing with some Ligottian toys while putting what I hope is a decidedly “PBarb” spin on things.

I will admit that I am new to the realm of dystopian Sci-Fi. As I’m stumbling down this road I’m learning some of the best authors in this genre are black and many are female. Holy shitsnacks, yall.

These folks really care about getting the word out about good books.

Celebrating @paultremblay.bsky.social Horror Movie as scary, dreadful, sad is correct - but for me, also sends an arrow from the story thru the reader to the world, writing that's clear and truthful, that Auster, Vonnegut, Atwood often archive. Horror is a part of the world bc it is a part of us.

Disagreeing with writing advice about cutting *all* unnecessary words from prose feels so small in this rapidly crumbling world, but...writers, keep those unnecessary words if you want them. Find your voices and let them run riot with imagery and rhythm. Don't AI yourselves.

Twenty percent of the U.S. population voted for Trump in the last two elections. This is a white supremacist country, and it's going to produce a lot of white supremacists.

Everyone is always afraid to say why people like Trump or Marie Le Pen have some level of popularity and it’s just that there’s a lot of people in the world who believe in racism. You end up with these goofy ass explanations for Trump where it’s NAFTA or shit and it’s like no you know what it is
