I just finished @lmanusos.bsky.social's forthcoming novella From These Dark Abodes (from @psychopomp.bsky.social). It's creepy and mysterious (the kind of superb mystery I just can't put down!). And when the mystery unfolds...It did not disappoint! Can't wait for this one to be out in the world!

art goes super hard

This novelette is just PHENOMENAL, and I blazed through it in one sitting. Do yourself a favor and read "What Any Dead Thing Wants" by @aimeeogden.bsky.social now!

I feel like I never know where the border is between "not doing enough self-promotion" and "shut UP Aimee"; but I love this novelette an awful lot and I'm so happy Psychopomp asked me to write it and I just really hope someone else loves Ozzi and Hob as much as I do! psychopomp.com/what-any-dea...

Hi! I wrote a novelette! Please read “What Any Dead Thing Wants” if you like: human ghosts, alien ghosts, fucked-up terraforming practices, the inherent value of life however strange, and drama about whose turn it is to make dinner (IT’S MASELEY’S TURN I SWEAR) psychopomp.com/what-any-dea...

lots of discourse on whether there should be a True Detective S5 but only one right answer: hire Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny at their current ages, name their characters Mulder and Scully, make them longtime (work) partners, do not otherwise acknowledge the existence of X-Files in the show
