NEXT WEEK! I'll be part of a roundtable discussion and book signing with four other local indie horror writers 👻😈💀

It's never too early to introduce your kittens to Hellraiser ⛓😺

Man, I just love cats 🥰

Reading @lcvonhessen.bsky.social's wonderful collection Spiritus Ex Machina and alternating between my first read of the Moore/Bissette/Todleben Swamp Thing. Brain expanding rapidly, feeling good about words, pictures, etc

City of Sickos

[Exit Clown.]

I love that there are multiple versions

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

About to cook a salmon dinner for the first time while living with two fish-loving kids whose homebase is the kitchen and one of whom loves to hop up on the counter every time he even suspects I might be preparing food meant for him. Wish me luck in this cursèd endeavor

Went to vote before work today (eat it, Cuomo) and was pleased to see some Halloween decorations still up (especially that pumpkin in the second pic!)

October is over, but the hauntings continue! A week from tomorrow, Book Culture LIC is hosting Indie Horror Night, featuring @ossuary.bsky.social, @lcvonhessen.bsky.social, @sasharavitch.bsky.social, Saskia Nislow, and me. Weirdos of New York, come on down!

Halloween may be technically over, but horror is perennial and my book is currently absurdly cheap over on the Bezos site for some reason and length of time I have no control over. Now is a good time to grab it, just sayin'

Golf could use more catapults TBH

These sweet silly babies have been living with me for two months as of today! They've grown so much but are still so small

Oh great, it's my semiannual reminder that whoever came up with this Daylight Savings bullshit was decidedly not a cat person

On ye Eve of Walpurgis-Night I did espye young Goodman Dexter and Goody Cordelia flying to ye Sabbat upon Broome-Sticks

Don't worry, they still have eight more lives 💀😻

I hate that I get this reference 😬

BRB holding illimitable dominion over all 🟥💀

This looks like someone made a Doom mod of a hotel bathroom. Are you gonna stumble across a cacodemon hovering over a toilet through all the generic low-poly marble textures?

Spending my three-day Halloween weekend catching up on some horror movies that are new to me 🧛‍♂️🐀😈

Catching up with the babies and the big man.

We wanted to understand what a Zohran Mamdani administration would mean for New York. So we talked to a Kentucky woman who once tied for 5th place in a swim race with a transgender woman and got really mad that she didn't get to hold the trophy.

Vaguely '70s Corporate Goth today since I had to go into the office for a company meeting. I ended up showing several of my coworkers photos of the new kittens and sneaking some cake and corporate sandwich segments to take home.

Catching up with my kittens' dad, bodega cat Oreo, who is apparently on security detail today. (And one of Oreo's human dads at the bodega counter said he was glad he'd let me have two of the kittens because he knew I would take good care of them ☺)

Garden of Earthly Delights

"A Burglar Bitten by a Skeleton," Illustrated Police News, June 27, 1874

starving over 40 million people right before major holidays + massively upping healthcare costs does strike me as a rather bold move this early in the authoritarian consolidation game for any given fascist regime, but I guess we’ll see what happens

CAT UPDATE: These three-month-old summer-born kittens heard the hiss of the radiator for the very first time today and were both puzzled and alert. Also, the kittens have officially charmed my landlord.

Everyone please diligently check your candy this year. I cracked open a snickers bar and not only did I find a copper ingot, but it was of poor quality. Worse still, when my man Nanni confronted my neighbor about it, he was treated with disdain.

BOUND IN FLESH: AN ANTHOLOGY OF TRANS BODY HORROR ed. by @lormaggot.ca Thirteen stories that test the boundaries of flesh, that poke & prod & twist & stretch & rip & tear the meat that binds you, that binds all of us, in a collection that’s sure to make you squirm. It’s disgusting (complimentary).

Guys, I think my apartment is haunted 👻

I was born in April and was Charles Lee Ray for Halloween last year, plus the life-sized Good Guy doll that's been hanging around my apartment all year hasn't gotten up to any shenanigans, so I'd say I'm good

Introducing the kids to the Scarlet Spectre (now with bird sounds!)

Introducing the kids to the Scarlet Spectre (now with bird sounds!)

Sunday morning chat about how delectable the stories in this are and how we admire LC's sardonic humor & writing expertise

This story filled me with such a deep sense of inescapable dread, I can’t wait for you all to read it and it ruin your day. A fitting and wonderful tribute to the king.

Cat update: just now Delia hopped onto the couch very close to where Monty was curled up. Instead of swatting her away for getting too up in his face, he reached out a paw and pressed it to her chest for a long moment before she moved away (and is now curled up next to me)
