I have a two week vacation coming and really looking forward to it. I finished a manuscript and really want to make progress on the next.

Tomorrow is the two year anniversary of Skin Thief: Stories! I'm very proud of this book. I put it together during the darkest period of my adult life. I felt very alone and friendless when I sent it out into the world and it brought me so much love in return. Thank you to everyone who's read it. 🖤

Apologies again for the lateness of Remains 3. We're trying hard to solve the latest problem caused by a run of bad luck to hit the issue while at press. Many thanks for your patience! (Meanwhile, as I write this, we only have one copy left of Remains 2.)

As a horror author, I love the “extreme cake” videos where everything is cake. I’ve seen folks cut or bite into cake shoes, tables, walls, chairs, knives, tablets, hands, bricks, raw meat and chicken, etc. I’m ready for cars and babies and mythical creatures and rotten things.

I keep forgetting to mention that every original art purchase comes with a free download of the extended digital edition of my DEATH CARDS sketchbook!

Hi guys, I'm opening commissions! Im currently looking to fill two slots. I work in ballpoint pen and specialize in horror illustrations. If you'd like to talk, please send me a message. Thanks!

What is community? Community "signifies a shared quality or interest among people who live together, sharing or working for a common purpose or place." You are suggesting that the far-right are part of the big tent, your "community." 11/

If I controlled an animation studio- any animation studio- I would jump both feet forth. Alas- for good or bd- I do not.

Re: the male loneliness epidemic, there is *still* not enough emphasis on how many heterosexual girls and women are staying single out of self-preservation, because the sexual norms that many heterosexual boys and men have adopted are exceptionally dangerous.

I don't want to hear from normal people or society that I am a weirdo for liking Horror ever again when the vast percentage of the ghoulish, morbid masses have no issue w the pure fuckery of Forcibly resurrecting dead corpses w/out their permission to fill them up w algorithmic Lies of their soul

What goes on beneath the shine of AI, an army of raters and super raters working in isolation, without job security, facing the worst ills of the industrial economy: speedup, lack of quality control, and no doubt, in the future, replacement by new AI.

This is a great analysis of the value of moral standards and the power of shame as a deterent to uphold them. We need those norms and the social pressure to adhere to them. The alternative is violence and repression.

My new favorite album. Every song is 👌

Another reshare

Survivors guilt. And the realization a privilege was afforded, that of time. Waiting in relative safety for cogs and gears to fall into place, while so many voices grow silent. "Soon. Soon." Change can never come soon enough.

I always think of that concept / art from @cinemaminddavid.bsky.social that updated the Fatal Frame series to be heavily inspired by Shiraishi and 90's Hideo Nakata J-horror stuff. A camcorder instead of a cursed camera. It looked amazing.

I’ve gotten requests for free work “for exposure” my whole life, once from a literal billionaire. Luckily less so in recent decades. But using the “for exposure” excuse with TAYLOR SWIFT? Truly warped. There’s a whole class of business shitheads who really think no artist *deserves* to be paid.

On June 2, 1991, flight 283 from LA to Newark lost all contact with ATC. The aircraft never landed, and no remains were found. Ever since, rumors of a "ghost plane" have spread among aviation enthusiasts, who claim to have seen flight 283 attempting to land at airports across the world.
