How Hookland Works – you all own it, fill you boots. Now updated to reflect how AI means Arseholes Involved. #Hookland

Oh holy shit this is good news I didn't for a second believe we'd get.

"The government begins excavating the bones in late February" The Squatters, by Shawna Yang Ryan Narrator: Rebecca Wei Hsieh Host: Kat Day Audio: Chelsea Davis pseudopod.org/2025/11/07/p... This story originally appeared in the 2025 Anthology, Silk and Sinew

I just heard a disco version of the opening of Sweeney Todd. What in the actual fuck?

The fifth(?) version of Star Trek 4 finally being killed and the Kelvinverse crew being benched is one of those depressingly stark moments where you realise that the entire franchise is, in some ways, a Kobyashi Maru scenario.

Is that the scent of churros in the air?

Today, the veil between the living and dead is thin... and so is my patience. Not to play on stereotypes, but ghosts are poor house guests. Tonight is guaranteed to be one botched, poorly timed, and predictable jump-scare after another. Worst of all, I have to pretend to be scared, or they cry!

Yes, 1000 motherfucking episodes!

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Tomorrow is Halloween. At this spooky time, we need to be vigilant. Remember: boots BEFORE corset. Thank you for your attention.

Had something unusual happen at the supermarket. Out of the blue, a woman came to me and thanked me for my work with the Mickee Faust Club. It was quite nice… and incredibly weird.

Clocks go back in the UK tonight. They change in the US on November 2nd. Welcome to the Week When No One Knows What Time It Is 😆

If you promote your new book with an ‘AI trailer’, the only thing guaranteed to happen is that a lot of folk will think: ‘AI equals arseholes involved, I’ll never read this book’. That and the fact I will block you.

Ok weird thought that popped in my head for @hookland.bsky.social. If it’s too silly, please ignore. What did Hookland at the time think of The Wicker Man?

Last night, I hoped I helped a young man who was going through some shit. Which I find ironic considering my own less than secure hold on my life.

8 days to Halloween…

This hits hard because I have been that people pleaser wanting to help.

Surreal animation from 1930, a kinda forgotten Vincent Price/Peter Lorre TV pilot, and a horror western! 32 Days of Halloween--something for the whole family!

I have heard rumor of a grey market in @hookland.bsky.social for ghost glass. Glass from demolished building said to have images of the past or other realms when looked through. You can tell because dealers have very good gloves. Cuts from this glass can lead to… problems.

Implant a device with electrodes in the brain? Merge someone with a computer? WHAT could possibly go wrong? Well, it's 32 Days of Halloween, so safe to say SOMETHING did...

Tonight: Lovecraft, a surreal beach scene, and a cursed reptilian! Sounds like the punchline to a very, very strange joke.

A shot of me from the latest Mickee Faust Club show, Faust Festival of Fears. Just standing there… looking at you.

Morgan Freeman as a vampire? Cosmic horror where the Dayball turns off? Oh yes...plus THE SKULL! Hooray for 32 Days of Halloween XVIII Day 19!

There is an old prayer much favoured in Hookland which I offer up today for my friends in America: Protect us from the tyranny of troubled spirits and make them as smoke upon the wind. #NoKings

Joe Dante, Tubular Bells, and The Haunted Palace. Nothing but a party for Day 18 of 32 Days of Halloween XVIII.

32 Days of Halloween XVIII, Day 17 brings horror history, Karloff, and DREAM NO EVIL!

32 Days of Halloween XVIII hits its halfway point. And hits it with a log splitter. Not that anyone will ever be able to prove ANYTHING.

32 Days of Halloween XVIII marches on with Day 15!

Coffee enough to stay awake and watch the show? Check. Coffee enough to format this into a coherent review? Lacking.

Oooh! Congratulations, dragon! @podcastle.org 🐉

If any publisher wants to publish this experiment light novel …

In case people need something to look forward to, I have the honour of collaborating with @hookland.bsky.social on a light novel. Initial discussions began in a necropolis and then moved onto a pub. Will begin in earnest early 2026.

‘Kill James Bond’ took to the red carpet last night at the ITV bCreator Awards, repped by me and my cohost Devon. The podcast we do with November Kelly has 8.5 million downloads and still going strong babyyy Trans rights, free Palestine, and as always, Kill James Bond! 🔫✊

Legend is female Druids of the county did not disappear during Roman occupation, but instead melded with the forests to become its Green Ladies, its Moss Maidens.

New ep! TRAINWRECKORDS: "Eye of the Zombie" by John Fogerty! Yes, zombies. No, I don't know what the album cover is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cjxh...

Just watched V/H/S Halloween. Not terrible. First was standard but put together well, second had a nice setup but not sure it made the landing, third tried for horror comedy and miss the mark bad, fourth was nice but my suspension of disbelief wasn’t strong enough,

We must refuse the idea that modernity in any form is a protection against haunting. The ghost is an artefact of our living as well as our dying. The 20th century apartment block as liable to house spectres as the 19th. No style of architecture is spook free. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

It’s seems that’s it’s my birthday today. Happy birthday to me!

32 Days of #Halloween is here! A cursed stump! A Book of the Dead! And CAT-WOMEN OF THE MOON! www.needcoffee.com/2025/09/30/3...

I see that transmaxxing has entered the discourse. As someone who researched this last year for a skit, I am so sorry for you.
