People love knowing things. They conflate understanding with depth or complexity. You can tell this is a red flag for any work of art when someone's enjoyment of it is conveyed by proving they understood basic themes or plot points.

Incredible video. Fuck the US forever. youtu.be/5Dvu7qiM5rg?...

Apparently I can't even be safe from sports-talk in my literary spaces

Finishing up 14 by Peter Clines and, despite the fact that I'm a big Lovecraft fan, I think this makes a good case for why Lovecraft's work should be completely erased from existence. Just so people like Clines don't get any more bright ideas and write anything like 14 again.

My review of Fantasticland by Mike Bockoven

The Institute by Stephen King: not his best work. Not even his most mediocre work. It is, simply, a book written by Stephen King.

"Methinks that what they call my shadow here on earth is my true substance. Methinks that in looking at things spiritual, we are too much like oysters observing the sun through the water, and thinking that thick water the thinnest of air. Methinks my body is but the lees of my better being."

Was having trouble deciding on a book after My Tender Matador; needed something just as evocative. Chose to start a re-read Moby-Dick—somehow, so far, even better than I remembered. Taking it slow when every sentence is so rich.

The situation in my house right now

Let us live and love, not listening to old men's talk. Suns will rise and set long after our little light has gone away to darkness. - Catullus, 5 (t. by Whyte)

Beckett's "Imagination Dead Imagine" as rendered by The Salvage press.

O avalanche, will you take me with you when you fall? - Baudelaire, “The longing for nothingness” I stepped into an avalanche and it covered up my soul - Leonard Cohen

"I have not read 'Ulysses', but believe that the principle of the stream-of-consciousness method is a valuable one—destined to influence fiction in the future. However, I doubt its value as an exclusive method of narration." —H. P. Lovecraft to L. M. White, 31 May 1935, LJS 356

petrol isn't even that expensive compared to nicer drinks like orange juice or beer

Americans love to respect their soldiers so let me make this clear: their military is an imperialist bully-squad, deployed worldwide to remind various parts of the world of America's military might, and always ready to kill whichever non-white people are in the current administration's crosshairs.

dan simmons, author of multiple, deeply contemptible works of racism fiction, has died. congratulations, and no, hyperion was not as good as the obituaries will say it was

I've written: 2 collections of short stories 1 collection and several chapbooks of poetry 1 novella that has been published in English and in French translation I usually make money as a content writer but that stream of work has dried up. I'm offering editing services again.

But tonight Lv1 is alive and in the west highlands with his herd. It is a perfect winter evening: the moon rising over the ice fields, the snow in the wind. And as he stares into the skybox, there is 1/50th as much health as usual.

the good that you do persists in this world

A lot of journals that say they're open to weird fiction mean like this

Missing from the book piracy debate is any mention of predatory academic publishing conglomerates like Elsevier, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, De Gruyter Brill et al: all of which are massively profitable and don't pay anyone (authors, peer-reviewers) who made the bulk of their money extorting libraries

oh now we are talking about writing salaries? My contribution: No one* has ever made money from it. Don't romanticize the past. There are zillions of examples of destitution in the archives of your faves! *except a couple, here and there, randomly

Ideas are not like property, Jefferson thought. They don’t work on a scarcity model—He who receives light from my candle does so without lessening my light. Jefferson opposed copyright laws.

My beautiful girl Chilli is very sick, so if there's any way you can tip in a small amount to put towards her huge vet bills, we'd be eternally grateful. If you can't afford to donate, totally get it, but please help share? gofund.me/0da4bca0

Today is the official (Australian) release of The Red Labyrinth. Be sure to tell your friends and enemies and strangers on the street about it.

From my novel TOWARD ETERNITY:

also on the metal front tonight I'm listening to "Cruel Magic" by Satan. the non-metal world basically knows nothing about this band, they were NWOBHM but had a slightly more "extreme" vibe back when...probably just because of the name really. be surprised if they got a single mainstream notice.

I love when something kind of niche goes viral and people that do nothing but post about everything feel obligated to weigh in. Tell me more about your strong opinions on the translations of Odyssey, guy I haven't seen post about literature a single time in years of following
