“The best modern vampire story ever.” Coffin Moon’s not even a tenth of what Salem’s Lot is, but holy shit THANK YOU. Wow.

#NowWatching John Carpenter’s ridiculously preposterous yet endlessly watchable PRINCE OF DARKNESS. Come for the laughable exposition, stay for the moody soundtrack and Donald Pleasence Donald Pleasence-ing all over the place. Jameson Parker’s moustache is also worth the watch. WONDERFUL! #filmsky

honestly, this is the only way to go with another X-Men movie youtu.be/UngE0qn3VRY?...

Almost 3 years ago, I decided to get back into reading on a regular basis and resolved to read every day for a month. I just cracked 1,000 consecutive days and more than 270 books and novellas read since that resolution. I don’t normally make a fuss but I am really proud of myself! #booksky #goals

#Finished Coffin Moon by Keith Rosson @keithrosson.bsky.social and you’ve gotta drop whatever you’re doing and give this an October read. A high-test, real-deal, unrelenting grinder that evokes the best of the mass-market paperbacks of my ill-spent youth. FANTASTIC! #booksky #horrorsky

Bond would have lost a generation of viewers without the constant repeat of unedited versions For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy on HBO circa 1983-1986

post a meme made by you

Some of the greatest and craziest films ever made are finally coming back into circulation. I wrote about the golden age of Hong Kong action cinema. www.vulture.com/article/when...

the scenario we all feared

Absolutely need to know there is a new T R Napper @trnapper.bsky.social novel in the offing. Like, a huge degree of my overall mental stability hinges on another dose of his high-octane, cyber-noir, glitchy future with the formica countertops and unadvised implants. Cruel to leave a guy hanging.

I Have Forgotten What You Did Last Summer But I Definitely Have A Negative Association With You And Last Summer

📽 #FilmNoir The Glass Key 🗝(1942) 🎞

Friday Night’s Alright (for Mar Molcajete)

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

#JustFinished All the Fiends of Hell by Adam L.G. Nevill. Harrowing survival story in the midst of either an alien invasion or breach of a cosmic horror-esque dimension. Compelling characters and a truly gripping, propulsive grind to survive an insane apocalypse. #booksky 💙📚 #horrorbooks

This might be my favourite cat meme of 2025 so far

That would be great

#JustFinished Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt. A small town lives with a 350 year old witch in its midst, enduring the curse and abiding by strict rules—until a set of circumstances throws the town into chaos. Rich cast of characters and excellent unfolding horrors! #booksky 💙📚 #horrorbooks

#JustFinished Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll. A fictionalized (but excellently researched) narrative about two key events during Ted Bundy’s rampage, giving agency not to Bundy but to the women whose lives were changed by his violence. Brilliantly written and exceptional. #booksky 💙📚

Alright who done it

#JustFinished The Potency of Ungovernable Impulses by Malka Older @older.bsky.social The 3rd Mossa and Pleiti adventure adds richness and depth to everything that makes this series great. Complex relationship dynamics, wonderful prose, and academic intrigue abound! #booksky 💙📚 #scifibooks 🪐📚

#JustFinished When We Were Real by Daryl Gregory @darylwriterguy.bsky.social A warm, funny, thoughtful rumination on the meaning of . . . well, EVERYTHING, in a world where its inhabitants know they are living in a simulation. Fantastic characters and a literal trip! #booksky 💙📚 #scifibooks 🪐📚

You should definitely read all of this thread and then go read The Price You Pay because Aidan is a living treasure and also quite maladapted

The one true King

The great Darwyn Cooke’s covers for Criterion’s 2007 DVD box-set ‘Monsters And Madmen’.

Sunday vibes.

#JustFinished The Handle by Richard Stark, book 8 on my tour through the Parker novels. This one sizzles with non-stop action as Parker works with The Outfit to topple an isolated gambling racket with promises of a big haul. Mayhem ensues! #booksky 💙📚 #crimebooks #thrillers

Quote post with the Fantastic Four comic that came out the month you were born

Lots of crazies out there. #writing #writingcommunity #booksky

#JustFinished Oracle by Thomas Olde Heuvelt. I enjoyed this mashup of technothriller, the Old Gods, angsty teens in love, the Grizzled Old Man Who Has Seen Too Much But Still Has Heart, and a looming apocalypse. Fun and inventive! #booksky 💙📚 #horrorsky #horrorbooks

Alternative movie poster of the day 🎥😍 Night of the Creeps (1986) By Casey Booth

#JustFinished The God of the Woods, by Liz Moore @lizmoorebooks.bsky.social A deep character study of mid-20th century social strata wrapped within the mystery of two children gone missing nearly 15 years apart. Couldn’t put it down! Not my usual fare but I really enjoyed. #booksky 💙📚 #mysterybooks

I don't often wish-cast illustrators, but I always wish we'd seen George Smiley drawn by Robert Fawcett. He drew the 20th century's best Holmes & Poirot. His gift for character and subtle tension, along with his eye for the minutiae of clothing and setting would've made him perfect on Smiley.

#JustFinished Summerland by Hannu Rajaniemi and WOW, what a mind-bender! In an alt-1930s history where technology exists to interact with the dead, British spies hope to ferret out a Soviet mole while a huge secret threatens living and dead alike. Conceptually amazing! #booksky 💙📚 #scifibooks 🪐📚

Cover by Jack Davis.

#JustFinished Terrible Worlds: Revoultions, featuring three excellent novellas by Adrian Tchaikovsky @aptshadow.bsky.social Collects Ironclads, Firewalkers, and Ogres, each exploring key aspects of agency, systems, and the inevitable cracks in power structures. Fantastic! #booksky 💙📚 #scifibooks 🪐📚

The question has occasionally been asked: “Will there be more Smiley?” Yes. www.thebookseller.com/rights/nick-...

I don't normally post photos of gifts but I know way too many Robert Mitchum & Raymond Chandler devotees *not* to share this vintage BIG SLEEP paperback I received from a pal that was published as a tie-in for the 1978 version starring Mitchum. (And bc it's me, it arrived with floral bookmarks!!) 💙

Aw yiss

Creepshow (1982) directed by George A. Romero and written by Stephen King. The ensemble cast includes Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau, Leslie Nielsen, E. G. Marshall, Viveca Lindfors, Ted Danson and Ed Harris.

#JustFinished the short story Human Resources by Adrian Tchaikovsky @aptshadow.bsky.social A fun piece of social satire about automation and the performative nature of workplace interaction. Tchaikovsky’s adroit use of humor is on full display! #booksky 💙📚 #scifibooks 🪐📚 #scifi
