I almost forgot the birthday of Robert W. Chambers (May 26, 1865 – December 16, 1933).

Back to swollen foot, pain, & inability to walk. 🤬

Just look who's on Italian TV tonight...

Need a break. In 12 days, I’ve finished 20 new photo-montages featuring portraits of classic Weird fiction authors, and now I’m completely drained, my wrist is killing me from carpal tunnel syndrome, and I’m still knocked out even after sleeping for half a day. And… Did I mention I need a break?...

faith in humanity restored

When you're used to using a mouse instead of a graphics tablet, and you've been editing photos all day for two weeks straight without a break...

You show him that these are just photo montages made with your sculptures—objects no taller than thirty centimeters—but it’s no use... The guy on duty is determined to prove you that they’re genuine evidence. That’s just how YouTube works. 🙄

Here’s a good look at the limited edition hardcover version of NOT A SPECK OF LIGHT by @lairdbarron.bsky.social, illustrated by @slimyswampghost.bsky.social. We are still awaiting the bulk of the shipment, but will get these out to customers as quickly as we can.

Skulls & Flies. No AI, as usual, just digital photomontages. #weirdart #horrorart

Al posto della torta e senza candeline.

Too late for the Miskatonic University. “Newly discovered archaeological site razed for the construction of an AI data center infrastructure.” Digital montage and frame-by-frame animation, featuring my Lovecraftian sculptures. #cthulhu #weird

Less time on social media. I’m quickly churning out photo montages for a small book project. It’s like going back to what I used to do a quarter of a century ago.

Old laptop, new animations. Even though it’s so painfully slow that it takes minutes instead of seconds, and hours instead of minutes, and can’t handle very large files.

🤔 Google's Artificial Intelligence often leaves me a bit perplexed... but it seems to be infallible, so I'll just have to accept the facts.

Somehow it's already been a year since I wrote about using weird fiction as a metaphor for critically thinking about the fascist world we live in. The struggle continues!!!

Today would have been Wilum Hopfrog Pugmire’s birthday (May 3, 1951 – March 26, 2019). Here in the Sesqua Valley, we celebrate our Queen of Eldritch Horror.

Seized and taken away while in international waters. Two were transferred and detained in Israel. To me, that sounds like kidnapping.

It might seem like I talk to myself out loud at home, but that’s not true—it’s just a rumor. I’m actually talking to my colony of dust mites, the only pets I can afford to keep, who are excellent and understanding listeners. And sometimes they offer great advice.

For some obscure biological-chronological reason, my internal clock punctually triggers bouts of depression in concomitance with the holidays on the Italian calendar. Happy May Day.

Some kind of magic on the eve of Walpurgis Night. My Lenovo laptop had been dead for seven months; the last time it turned on was in early October, and I never had enough money to repair it. And tonight... Surprise! I have no idea if it will keep working; we'll see.

My espresso machine has eventually given up the ghost after more than twenty years of honored service. It’s time to dust off this very old two-cup moka pot, which has been haunted by dark and mysterious presences since the last century...

I had forgotten that I had my own animated GIF channel on Giphy... giphy.com/channel/Anader

I love horror and I love manga, and I got to write about horror manga for Publishers Weekly. Living the dream. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

I agree with the larger point here and don’t want to fall prey to a no true Scotsman fallacy but: I would submit that the example texts here aren’t weird fiction in the first place
