If, like me, you’re trying to catch up on all the comics you’ve missed in 2025, this should be your first stop. The reboot of the character is excellent, the witch vibe definitely adds to the story. Also, great dialogue and phenomenal art. Looking forward to rest of Absolute series #comics

Five panels from the horror manga Uzumaki by Junji Ito 🌀 🌀 🌀 #BookWormSat #bleak #foreboding #gloom

"I cannot convey the sense of abominable desolation that hung over the world. The red eastern sky, the northward blackness, the salt Dead Sea, the stony beach crawling with these foul, slow-stirring monsters" The dying Earth visited by the time traveler in HG Wells' 1895 novel #BookWormSat

“I know how to get outside the shield. That's easy. After that it's up to you to get us off the surface before we freeze. Can you?” “Possibly" replied Kirk. ~ Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, J.M.Dillard. #BookWormSat #StarTrek

The mud was cold and hugged his feet, reluctant to let him move. The stump lay at an angle, only partly above the mud, and dark weed clung to it like sparse hair. Like hair. His eyes stared, white-rimmed. For the stump was moving... Slowly, slowly, and his feet were trapped. #BookWormSat #folkhorror

“It was a September evening…the day had been a dreary one and a dense drizzly fog lay low upon the great city. Mud colored clouds drooped sadly over the muddy streets. The yellow glare from the shop windows threw a murky shifting radiance…” Sign of the Four - AC Doyle #BookWormSat 🖼️ Walter Sickert

Can’t resist sharing my favorite panel from Watchmen Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons for DC Comics #BookWormSat 🖼️ = Dave Gibbons and John Higgins

“A statue with spikes. A stone lady, gazing out over the limitless endless acres of sand ... a long-dead lady of stone eyes, stone ears and stone senses whose only companion for an eon had been the wind.” ~ Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970), Michael Avallone. #BookWormSat #70s

“She longs for tonight, she longs to skip the day that’s just begun and plunge headlong into the night as if into a pool; a pool with the moon reflected in it. She longs to swim in liquid moonlight” Margaret Atwood from the speculative world of MaddAddam #BookWormSat 🖼️ = Victoria Hutson Huntley

Perfect ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

“The blast that swept him came off New Hampshire snow-fields and ice-hung forests. It seemed to have traversed leagues of frozen silence…sharpening its edge against the same bitter black and white landscape.” Edith Wharton Ghost Stories #BookWormSat 🖼️ Harry Callahan (1950)

Cleansing the work & family Christmas B.S. edition PUP = in running for top 2025 #last4albums

Here’s a record that meant a lot to me in 2025 both in message and music. I’m going to take a page out of someone else’s rule book and post a link to a better review #5albums25 www.smalltownsupersound.com/news/hierogl...

Jane Austen used 'however' at the beginning of a sentence, and so can you.

Almost certainly my number one, also looking forward to everyone’s recommendations #5albums25

Hi folks, we’ll take a little mid season break from the debut albums poll, as it’s that time of year when we traditionally vote on the best album of the current year, so it’s time for #5albums25 Voting for this one will commence on Monday 29th December at 7pm. Use the hashtag for recommendations 👍

Word of the day, should you be feeling a little huffish, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude and the desire to be away from other people.

“You are really angry with me for not having appeared to you in a red glow, with thunder, lightning, with scorched wings but have shown myself in modest form. You are wounded in your esthetic feelings and your pride.” FD - Brothers Karamazov IX The Devil #BookWormSat 🖼️glass fragment (1200) 📍Met

And now for something completely different… Salome With The Head of John The Baptist (1507-9) Andre Solario - who doesn’t love a little horror at Christmas? I love the position of the hand of the executioner (he wants no part of it) and the look on Salome’s face #WorksWeLove #artquestnyc 📍Met

No Rockefeller tree for me - the Met’s tree is the best thing about Christmas. 20 feet tall, 20 cherubs, 60 Angels floating above a scene depicting 18th century Neapolitan society with brilliant embroidery and details. More coming from the Met if you need to mute me now 😉 #WorksWeLove #artquestnyc

"To be silent the whole day long, see no newspaper, hear no radio, listen to no gossip, be thoroughly and completely lazy, thoroughly and completely indifferent to the fate of the world is the finest medicine a man can give himself. " Henry Miller

Southern Rock Sunday edition (also a Christmas 🎄 tree) #last4albums

“She wanted to leave, she wanted to lie alone face down on her bed and savor the vile piquancy of the moment, and go back down the lines of branching consequences to the point before the destruction began.” Ian McEwan Atonement #BookWormSat 🖼️ = Edward Hopper, Summer Interior (1916)

“Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly. It is the one thing that we are interested in here.” Leo Tolstoy- War and Peace #BookWormSat 🖼️ = sculpture by Lev Lvonich Tolstoy (1911)

Your vibe attracts your tribe My tribe:

Holy shit! Where has this cracking masterpiece been my whole life? I don’t think I’ve ever heard it - and Freebird is not even REMOTELY the best song on this stunning debut #5debutalbums7074

S’cute #dreadcember

Today’s #dreadcember post! #darkart #procreate #digitalart

Give me but a little cheerful company, let me only have the company of the people I love, let me only be where I like and with whom I like, and the devil take the rest, say I. #JaneAusten #NorthangerAbbey

Name the last song you heard Bach - Fugue number 14 in F sharp minor Current listening - off today still having coffee ☕️ youtu.be/9HWjQ0ErCE0

Today is the birthday of cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, the creator of Peanuts. (Nov. 26, 1922-Feb. 12, 2000.)

Now I’m trapped in the car until the song ends & the pizza is rapidly deteriorating - thanks @grantrandom.bsky.social

You knew it was coming… Any excuse to listen to this 3 times in a row 🙌🎸 #5debutalbums7074

"It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside." - Arthur Conan Doyle, 'The Copper Beeches' #BookWormSat #SherlockHolmes
