Launch day for ROOST by HOPE MADDEN! 👭 LJPBOOKS.COM

Dock Ellis was known to have pitched a no-hitter while high on LSD. At least that's the recorded version. Seams of the Infinite recounts the darker truth of that 1970 feat. Get your copy of this cosmic horror novella that unravels the ugly seams of America. ljpbooks.com/seams-of-the...

Have you ever stopped to think maybe Epstein was just being named in the Trump files?

Humbled by the love shown by Hope Madden, someone I respect immensely. Her foreword in Seams of the Infinite kicks off the story perfectly as well. Find at LJPBooks.com

My closing thought of 2025 is the following - there is no situation the police make better. If I'm sick, I need medical attention. If there's a fire, I need the fire department. If there's an intruder, the Second amendment is all I need. The police are there only to escalate problems. That's all.

The file wasn't the one I was looking for. But that's usually how it begins.

The Dock Ellis legend leaves a lot out. Seems of the Infinite looks between the cracks. ARC copies sent. More soon.

The spool of wire understands him more than she ever did

Writers be like "based on a true story" and then the story is "what if a cow spoke French and time was circular?"

Riley Gaines accomplished a lot as an athlete and advocate, no denying that from me. But libraries are about inclusion, curiosity, and access to every viewpoint, not culture wars. Her appointment to my local library board feels like putting politics where open minds should be.

The NFL’s pick of Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime show ignited backlash but the real story isn’t outrage. It’s proof the future of entertainment is multilingual, global, and streaming-first. ljpbooks.com/the-lacandon...

I started this account not too long ago, so a proper introduction feels overdue. My name’s Billy Graves—author, curator, and the odd soul behind Lacandon Jungle Press. This corner of the internet is my archive of books, stories, and small obsessions.

I have no followers here, but even so, I'll always support Hope and George in everything they do. Class people, class indie horrors...

The NFL sticks with Bad Bunny, and MAGA Twitter is losing its collective mind. To think the league that books Rihanna, Dre, and Shakira and employs black men at an exponential rate was suddenly going to pivot to Kid Rock and a bald eagle.

I hope it's clear that no other country is going to come to our rescue when DJT attempts to bury the dagger for kill. It's up to us as THE PEOPLE to stand up to tyranny.

There's obviously only one man who can capture the Louvre Thieves -

I finally pulled the trigger and deleted my personal X/Twitter account I've had since 2012. I miss what it used to be, but that's never coming back. I'll make sure my timeline isn't the worst of the left, but I can stand them more than the worst of the right. This shouldn't even be political.

I wanna talk about The Black Phone 2 since it's upcoming. The first film worked because it was tight and terrifying. One kid. One room. One killer. One phone. Ethan Hawke’s Grabber felt real. Reminiscent of the Atlanta child murders. That era where: "It’s 10pm. Do you know where your children are?"

Per Kaiju News Outlet - "Shin Godzilla" in 4K will be released in theaters on August 14th with a home release to follow. The film will feature "its original Japanese language with subtitles, including restored text cards and a 4K remaster that has never before been released in North America."

I'm really going all out in my first horror novella and asking what if Dock Ellis’s 1970 no-hitter wasn’t just baseball history... but the center of a cosmic ritual? A loop. A test. A reckoning. 🧠⚾️👁️ This is Seams of the Infinite.

The Ugly Stepsister lowkey runs a perfect horror arc: 🧼 Act 1: Clean setup—Elvira’s the “ugly” one, desperate in a beauty-obsessed world 🔥 Act 2: Slow-burn madness—microaggressions, rejections, and cosmetic nightmares 💀 Act 3: Full tilt unravel—makeup, murder, and one hell of a ballroom finale.

Just watched The Ugly Stepsister on Shudder and man… Elvira out here bodying folks with a curling iron and a dream. Cinderella’s glow-up turned her into the final boss, and this poor girl’s just trying to get noticed without becoming an accessory to homicide. Brutal. Beautiful. Bonkers. #Horrorsky

I stumbled on a 13-minute extended mix of I Want Your Love by Chic, and it’s been living rent-free in my bloodstream ever since. This mix is what sent me down the rabbit hole chasing extended grooves and dancefloor hypnosis. 🪩🔥 🎧 youtu.be/IfVmFkjsUtc?... If you're not moving by 30 secs in, idk.

It’s not writer’s block. It’s something weirder. You could write—hell, you want to write. But your brain is jammed up with: ✅ Story ✅ Metadata ✅ SEO ✅ Categories ✅ Audience ✅ Vibes ✅ Fonts ✅ ISBNs ✅ Keywords ✅ Upload dates ✅ Sales psychology It’s a lot. 🧵 #Booksky
