Another gem from the Op Shop bargain bin. They called him a ‘futurist’ in his day but he remains one of the greatest speculative fiction writers of all time. H.G. O.G. Simply, the best. 💙📚🚀

Having a listen to Florence + The Machine's 'Everybody Scream'. Damn, I love this witchy woman and the spells she casts. 🖤💙🎹 #altrock #gothic #darksongs youtu.be/3sNJQAdEUD4?...

I’m a helper! #catlover #cats

I don’t believe in manifestation though I have that power. Last week, I thought I was amiss having never read Justin Cronin’s “The Passage”. Then I found a pristine copy on my next Op Shop visit. Yesterday, I thought I should read the sequels, and today I found “The Twelve”. 💙📚😱💙 #horrorbooklover

Five years of scrubbing your social media just to enter the USA? Is this to help bailout AI's Mount Everest of debt? Or justify their data centres sucking up massive amounts of water in a time of escalating climate crisis? Or just another beatdown? #dystopia #fascism #workingfortheclampdown

Going a little different for a Christmas tree this year - Aotearoa driftwood. I dig it down to the bone. #happyholidays #christmas2025

Are you still massively against me breaking into your home and stealing all your stuff so I can sell it or have you moved more towards acceptance?

The Dude Minds: There’s no such thing as an alpha male. It’s just sophistry to justify being a fascist asshole.

"The old world is dying, and the new is slow to emerge, and in this twilight, monsters emerge.” Antonio Gramsci

Reading the international news here in Aotearoa NZ. Oh, deary dear. Let’s have a cup of tea and some old punk rock instead. ‘Yankee dollars talk to the dictators of the world. In fact, it's giving orders, and they can't afford to miss a word!’ youtu.be/2D-l1MauBmM?...

Count Pink, the Floydian Vampyre 🖤 🧛🏻‍♂️

Remembering Julee Cruise, born this day in 1956 who collaborated so memorably with Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch, including her single "Falling" in Twin Peaks.

Yes, Wednesday does culturally appropriate, but then, she also burns the mutha down. 🪶🔥 #NDN #WednesdayAdams #thunderbird

RIP JIMMY CLIFF. One of the world’s great performers has left us. His cover of “I Can See Clearly Now” is inspirational beauty for the soul. ❤️ #legend #reggaemusic #music youtu.be/3fcDVeGKdiQ?...

Wellington on a damn fine day. The view from the back yard, a few steps into the bush. #homeview #photo #wellingtonnz

I'm at my writing desk and hear a muffled scream. It's my 21 year-old son shouting from downstairs. I fly across the house, down the stairs, and bang on his bathroom door. "ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" "What?" "I HEARD SCREAMS!" "Singing, Dad. It's just me singing in the shower." "Oh. OK... Carry on." 💙😱🎥

Had a read of Robert Bloch's classic "Psycho" from 1959. All the bones are there for Alfred Hitchcock's film. IMO: Anthony Perkins made a far superior Norman than the schluby character in the book. A rare case of the movie is better? 💙📚😱🎥 #horrorfiction #classichorror #horrorfan

I love cats and dogs, but a dog is always looking at you, and a cat is always looking out the window. 🐈‍⬛ 💙🐈‍⬛ #catlover #cats

Off of my deck is a stone staircase that leads up into the bush. The farther you go, the wilder it gets. At the top is an overgrown greenhouse. Nobody’s been up there for years. I’m curious but not that curious. I’ve read horror stories. I know how they start. #darkfiction #horrorfan #newzealand

Life-long horror fan. Since 1987, my favourite vampire movie has been NEAR DARK towering far above the rest. It now has a companion in SINNERS. Damn. What a terrific horror movie. THAT is how it's done! 💙🎥 💙😱 #horrormovies #vampires #horrorfan #theblues #chicago #mississippidelta

"She, Laura Willowes, in England, in the year 1922, had entered into a compact with the Devil. The compact was made, and affirmed, and sealed with the round red seal of her blood.” 🖤💙📚😱📚 I'm gonna have to read this now. Thank you, @publicdomainrev.bsky.social publicdomainreview.org/collection/l...

Oh man, you don’t know you need it so desperately until you see it. Raven atop the Christmas tree. Be still, my shuddering black heart. 🖤🖤🖤 #christmasgloom #horrorfan

7:57 am. Aotearoa NZ, somewhere near the Cook Strait. ALL CATS ON DECK! WHISKER WATCH IN EFFECT! 💙🐈‍⬛ #cats #catsoftheworld #catlover #catsofnewzealand

FRANKENSTEIN. James Whale's "Frankenstein" and "Bride of Frankenstein" are the classics but Guillermo Del Toro's film earns its place in the House of Frankenstein. It's opulent, violent, gorgeous, and gothic AF. Hopefully, it inspires some viewers to read Mary Shelley's brilliant novel. #horrorfan

The Dark Lords have laid their cursed hands upon me. $2 at a local thrift shop for a book that’s been on my list for years. I rise from the shadows victorious. 🖤😱💙📚 #horrorbooks #darkfiction #horrorlover

Joyce Carol Oates can write brilliantly about anything (and does). 'Zombie' is that quiet dude that lives down the block. You think he's weird. You have no idea. I won't say I enjoyed 'Zombie' but it took me places. Not good places, but places. Do your thang, JCO. 🙌🖤 #horrorfan #darkfiction 📚😱📚💙

Penny Dreadful and Hannibal. RIP. Still in mourning. The darkest and most despicable sin is that these two shows didn't have long runs when scads of 'Hormone Island' abominations play 24/7. The horror... the horror. 🔥🔥🔥 #horrorfan #darkfiction #horrortv #evagreen #madsmikkelsen

‘The Willows’ by Algernon Blackwood. A classic short story deserving of its reputation. The gloomy atmosphere and creeping dread warms my dark little heart. Absolutely loved it. 🖤🖤🖤🖤💙📚 #shortstories #classichorror #darkfiction #algernonblackwood #legend
