My first movie of 2026 is Nightmare Castle, or to give it its original title Amanti d'oltretomba (Lovers From Beyond the Tomb): www.imdb.com/title/tt0060...

All I wanted was to watch Barbara Steele in NIGHTMARE CASTLE. Fine, I'm going to bed.

Anyway, if you want more thoughts with actual citations and deeper dives into individual topics, my book is still available from the publisher at an affordable price. Or you can go pay too much somewhere else. www.hippocampuspress.com/h.p-lovecraf...

If you got Monster Truckers on Drive Thru RPG (even if it was just fulfilled through the crowdfunder), please consider leaving a rating or review! I could use the help! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

My energy going into 2026

I'm excited to run Monster Truckers for interested people at some point in 2026. Please give @tablecatgames.com all the money so he can keep making neat games. And, I guess, eat and stuff.

I think the questions of which technologies we encourage development of and through what mechanisms are downstream of what we want as broadly held values for society and how we want to enforce those values. Sorry for crossing the streams.

So I guess Bsky discourse is just going to be people doing this to each other from now on: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKBj...

It sucks that this is a thing but I still need help to maintain my phone and internet and eat this Xmas.

It's probably fine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3xW...

My cat is dead, my niece is in the hospital, and I don't give a flying fuck if Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Good night.

I still want to know why it's Blood Waters of Dr. Z if the mad scientist's name is Kurt Leopold.

#DEAL ALERT! Calling all one-clickers because MONGRELS @sgj.bsky.social is on #sale on #Kindle for today only! amzn.to/3L47geL #Mongrels #ad

MONGRELS is one of my top five werewolf novels of all time. And for a buck ninety-nine? Total fucking steal.

I wonder if the people on Bsky angered about subsidizing higher-risk policyholders for insurance have considered the alternative: highly individualized rate-setting that penalizes people that can't move or can't afford to move, can't afford risk mitigation measures, etc.

The last hurrah of Menorahsaurus Rex (it's coming off the base).

Did Trash's Revenge actually come out?

That's still 10 times more sales than The Faith Machine. Available on Amazon- www.amazon.com/Faith-Machin...

"We're entering savage new times, and we're going to have to be pure... and direct... and strong... if we're gonna survive them." As ever, Videodrome predicts Bluesky discourse.

Apparently I need to use "apparently" less. My most-used words in 2025 were: 1. "movie" (11×) 2. "horror" (8×) 3. "apparently" (7×) 4. "jersey" (7×) 5. "remember" (7×) See which words you used the most here: anisota.net/harvest

Me with my sister's dog.

Hello! Monster Truckers is a game featuring truck driving monsters battling their way through the post apocyptic worstlands. It's easy to learn and run, with players having wacky adventures, getting into scrapes and tussles on the open road. tablecatgames.itch.io/monster-truc...

For the first time in just shy of 20 years for me, we are a catless household. RIP Buddy.

R E M I N D E R that my debut horror/dark SFF/weird fiction collection Spiritus Ex Machina is available in ebook and paperback versions via Grimscribe Press (there was also a sold-out hardcover). Proceeds are mostly going towards my elderly cat's medical needs

Was it stupid to see a movie that would see me home 3 1/2 hours before I have to wake up? Yes. Was Reflet dans un diamant mort worth it? Also yes.

“Easy, sport. I got myself outta Beirut once, I think I can get outta New Jersey.” “Yeah? Well, don't be so sure. Others have tried and failed. The entire population, in fact.” You hadda make it personal, Shane Black.

You got that last slaughter on tape, you play it on the radio, Charlie Brown!

Solomon Kane did canonically visit the New World, but too early to have celebrated Thanksgiving. I know, it makes me sad too.

Oh no!

Give Adam all the money so Sixtystone can put out more CoC stuff.

Kinda stumbled into it, which seems to be how everyone gets into insurance unless their parent(s) worked in the industry.

A movie that takes place where you're from.

You people know the whole 'bring back shame' thing includes posting Ryan Lizza's hit piece/tell-all, right?

This week on Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein we review The Call of the Friend (2025) by JaeHoon Choi (최재훈) as translated Janet Hong, part of the Cthulhu Reanimated series of works by Korean creators. deepcuts.blog/2025/11/19/t...

Second con game of #RoyalBlood 2nd edition down.

Reading some more about Epstein, despite myself. He was known IN HIS EARLY TWENTIES for inappropriate behavior with female students when he was at the Dalton School.

One game of #RoyalBlood 2nd edition down. Lessons learned - print out copies of the Value and Suit tables, get rules for Twists straight, learn how to shuffle cards so I don't have to keep asking players to do it. The High Witch was broken down and her humanity was restored.

On the road, but that never stops #FridayReads! Let’s boost all signals. Repost this and let us know what to repost for you. Here’s a perfect (and 45% off!) book for the season and for this month (Puerto Rican Heritage Month). Go ahead, share what you love! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...

In case it's useful for other people running #RoyalBlood that need to print out the Tarot. @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social

How depressed am I this week? I watched the Asylum's Monster Mash, complete with Gambit the Werewolf.

No, this is how the next James Bond should work.

USAians, if you don’t already know about Too Good To Go, you should check it out. It’s a free app that works with local restaurants & bakeries to help them sell (at steep discounts) unsold food at the end of the day—and helps you find cheap good food apps.apple.com/us/app/too-g...

On the bright side, booked Amtrak for Thanksgiving trip in case my flight gets canceled. On the very-much-not-bright side, 44 hours in coach.

Hi friends! I am now booking editing and proofreading projects starting in January 2026 and beyond. You might have seen my name listed on the credits page of over 50 tabletop games, including...

There's a wee review of my new pamphlet, SOME THOUGHTS ON HORROR, over on LibraryThing. You can read the review here: www.librarything.com/work/3516421...
