Now we're into October and we're all looking for spooky reads, I've got a couple of things due for release later in the month which I'm gonna be promoting. (Sorry in advance!)

First up is Absolute Zero, an anthology of cold-themed horror stories. My contribution, Cold Case, is a bleak crime story set in Glasgow in 1960 and features the swans on the frozen canal up at Maryhill Locks. Literally chilling. deadskypublishing.com/portfolio-it...

And Blood In The Bricks, an anthology of urban folk horror. Secretive communities and dark rituals and all the good FH stuff... but right here in our towns and cities. Brilliant stories by Angela Slatter, James Bennett, Tim Major, Lyndsey Croal and more! www.newconpress.co.uk/info/book.as...

VAMPIRES IN PARK CIRCUS! 🧙🏼‍♀️ Your favourite queer witches return! ❤️ Multiple F/F romances 🦭 The tragic end of your giant selkie gf 🦇 “I’m a vampire, you’re a witch, it can never work, and yet…” 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 More Weegie shit 🔪 Supporting women’s wrongs CW: death, grief, toxic coping mechanisms

Wisptober Day 3 - Fence "The traveller Startled! Between one moment and the next, a horned figure appeared crouching on the old fence post..." I am sure all they will do is ask the traveller a riddle.;) #wisptober #wisptober2025 #demon #mixedmedia #halloween #spooky #illustration

oh its the thing everyone said was going to happen when this got brought in and it immediately happened

TTW you're wasting precious bandcamp friday time by listening to something you already own!

It's Bandcamp Friday! I released "Nocturne (Soundtrack for an Invisible Film)" at the very beginning of 2025: aviengel.bandcamp.com/album/noctur... "Poor moth, I can’t help you, I can only turn out the light." -Ryszard Krynicki #bandcampfriday #moths #lepidoptera #postambient #art #poetry

This is giving "smug little startup that doesn't pay their employees and goes bust in a year" energy

Since you've voluntarily invited a boycott, you get one. A thread 🧵 about investors in Bluesky, who would love to hear your feedback by phone, snail mail, or email.

You couldn't submit Frankenstein, IT, Carmilla, The Only Good Indians, Books of Blood, The Jaunt, The Raft, Off Season, A Game in Yellow, Infect Your Friends and Loved Ones, Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke, Dracula, or The Haunting of Hill House under these rules.

It feels like fall...the perfect time for a new Moonlit March painting! 🍂 Our woodland friends are gathering gourds and mushrooms for Mother Opossum’s Halloween feast. I started the drawing yesterday and hope to start painting tomorrow. #MoonlitMarch #HalloweenArt #WoodlandCreatures #OpossumArt

I love modern translation software. Seen a post by a Japanese model, wearing some truly epic dresses. There is one comment in Japanese, with a translate option. Cool, let's see what it says: goo! Um. Nice.

taâlem have just put up listing for their 2025 advent calendar - 24x 3" CDR EPs collected in wooden box, edition of 60. Just bought mine, I enjoyed listening through this each day last December. #bandcamp #drone #ambient #advent taalem.bandcamp.com/merch/ta-lem...

you used to be able to wildly burn the old you at midnight, now you have to sort the fragments so they can be cast into the correct bin at the municipal dump, somehow it's not the same vibe

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked about the Home Secretarys comments that yesterdays protests about Israels actions were dishonourable (she also said they were unBritish). Zack is spot on.

More than 60,000 people have signed a new petition within 24 hours calling for PPE-scandal peer Michelle Mone to be stripped of her peerage and removed from the House of Lords www.change.org/p/strip-mich...

The sound of my inbox screaming tells me it's Bandcamp Friday. So why not consider pre-ordering the new WEPN Charity Compilation? 20 tracks excellent tracks from the Welsh electronic underground, proceeds to Ty Hafan Children's Hospice. wales-epn.bandcamp.com/album/produc...

The Starmer government is REALLY running scared of this petition, now at 2.75 million, to the extent that it has responded 3 months early, in a transparent attempt to spike it. So please, under no circumstances should you sign it and share it widely. Starmer & his boss McSweeney would not like it.

Of course, big customers are the most lucrative targets for ransomware. So whoever the UK government outsources their digital ID card to—Palantir? Oracle?—is going to be targeted. It'll be a honeypot for state level actors too, eg. Russian agencies. Makes obtaining ID for spies easier, as well.

Can’t decide whether these Statue of Liberty rubber chickens that say “squeeze me to hear me scream” are a little too on-the-nose for these times or if they’re perfect

This is a great thread, been really enjoying reading Julie's cycle diaries.

"Imagine if you were witnessing a genocide... sometimes a little unity, a little solidarity, some love to other people is required"

My dearest friends and fans, starting in 40 minutes is Bandcamp Friday, where Bandcamp rescinds their fee for 24 hours. Don't miss the new Disintegration Loops boxset or anything from the back catalogue. I love you & thank you so much for your wonderful support! williambasinski.bandcamp.com

Well after about 8 years we finally got around to releasing something on #BandCampFriday. On Ultra ltd. cassette, and download - Be Careful of All Flesh. eastvillevending.bandcamp.com/album/be-car...

Been a while since I was a gig like last night's. Queuing up in the October vibe, huddling, everyone dressed in black. Folk who inevitably walk the length of the queue to see if the door will open especially for them so they can get in before anyone else. Sisters of Mercy blasting out as we enter.

It's October! Hurrah! I've specially curated 5 of our spookier titles, and discounted the eBooks to just $2. Grab a couple, or all 5 for $10. It's your choice. @seanbirnie.bsky.social @acwise.bsky.social @stevetoase.bsky.social undertowpublications.com/ebooks

Charles M. Schulz’s “Peanuts”—the most successful comic strip ever, and arguably the most influential—first appeared 75 years ago. Here’s the first week of strips (1/4):

Bathroom laws are child abuse.

Meet & greet. #belzebubs

I've been getting dozens of calls from someone in Reading - last 4 digits varying, but calling like 3 times a day. I don't answer calls, but damn they are persistent. So I finally answered one and they said "Hello, Mr. Push?" Which is not my name.

Be safe, and don't you dare go hollow.

I'll be playing live in Glasgow on November 23rd. Details coming soon... Also Café Oto in London on November 24th.

Looks like it's #PortfolioDay n.3 of 2025 already?

Keep in mind while sharing video of undergrad students at UW chasing a Nazi through campus, some of those videos show peoples' faces and reposting might make it easier to arrest people who chased him. Some won't care and will do it anyway, but that doesn't have to be you.

The first Peanuts strip by Charles M. Schulz was published on October 2, 1950.

It's my birthday... may I ask for the customary birthday RT? 😌🙏❤️🎉 #art

If you are attacking unarmed humanitarian aid ships with water cannons and drones, while civilians starve in the city rubble -- you are not the good guys. Anyone pretending Israel is still in the right here needs to take a long hard look at what they're supporting.

Note from my notebook (2017).

This year marks 10 years of Harrow County! One of the best things I ever worked on and I'm super proud of what @cullenbunn.bsky.social and I were able to accomplish with this series along with the help of @danielchabon.bsky.social and dozens of other artists contributing along the way!

🐙✨MALL will be back at Gallery Nucleus this Saturday Oct. 08 for a signing from 1PM-2PM. Check out MALL's first art book & browse her beautiful pieces on display.⁠ 🪐https://gallerynucleus.com/events/1081 ⁠ #gallerynucleus #mayannlicudine #mall #resinart #mixedmedia #artbook #whimsical

I may not enjoy being in the office in person, but at least I have protection in place in the form of these @junkomizuno.bsky.social nurses.

I’ve been slacking on here so much 🫣 here’s a new xenomorph piece 🥹❤️ #art #drawing #draw
