Made the trek out to @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social for their last weekend at the store. Got some good books, got to briefly chat with the always approachable and not an asshole @briankeene.bsky.social thanks to you and Mary for a great store. #horror

I did a thing today! Stopped by @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social and saw @briankeene.bsky.social and @marysangiovanni.bsky.social, and had a blast. This constituted a mini-roadtrip for me, @ecfnj.bsky.social and @bluntlittletool.bsky.social, along with The Bug, and it was a glorious outing.

Everyone should check out @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social Ebay site. I won 5 James A. Moore fantasy books and included in the package they sent me was a bonus book, a bunch of bookmarks and oddly a pamphlet for a senior living community. @briankeene.bsky.social

Made a visit to @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social today. I’m sad that they’re closing in December because they have a huge selection of horror books, sci-fi/fantasy books, crime books, and comics! If you can make the trip to Columbia, PA, check them out!

One of my grabs from @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social was “God Bomb” by @kitgonzo.bsky.social. A man with a bomb wants answers from God and is willing to take everyone around him to the grave.

Yesterday morning, I made a pilgrimage to the NYC memorial park bench of MAD magazine founder and publisher William M. Gaines. After nailing down the location, I recorded this video so you'd be able to do the same. May you someday make a pilgrimage of your own! youtu.be/ifQa-7db9b0

Book haul from @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social for Cat Delani and Dorian Sinnott’s signing! A special day—it was Cat’s first signing, and I’m so proud to support her like she’s supported me. Can’t wait to dive into Along About Midnight—the cover grabbed me, and I really enjoy Dorian’s work.
