this new story i am working on, informed by dream/nightmare logic, is making me giggle so much to myself that i already know i'm going to have to revise superfluous nods to freud from it. if i'm giggling this much it's my tell that i'm being annoying about psychoanalysis again.

@citymystic.bsky.social is teaching this cool class series & you should consider taking it because, my god, do a lot of people try & talk about folk horror & the witch in media without actually being long-term serious practitioners in addition to scholars. sarah lyons is both! you can trust her!

i think people who want to wield state power and who are found to have done something stupid in the past should have to clear the “Violent J Bar” of how to think and talk about that stupid thing they did, at the bare fucking minimum.

can't think of a more delicious combination of words and authors

is the truth of life just that you're never caught up on emails and you're always forgetting to reply to important ones only to remember exclusively when you are away from a computer or otherwise indisposed?

been using google slideshow for 7 years and i just learned how to use presenter view, so.

going to lecturing from the streetcorner (zoom room) about posthuman gothic philosophy, cosmic horror literature, serpent ethos, and the witch tonight. check the link below for: Antehuman > AntiHuman: The Serpent in Cosmic Horror Literature & Posthuman Witchcraft with Sasha Ravitch.

any day i get to introduce someone to prostitute (the band) is a good day

Hey, it's my 33rd birthday today! My selfish wish is to raise enough money to edit another zine bundle with these themes: -Cunty Horrors -Cursed Concerts -Monstrous Dating Profiles -Batshit LinkedIn Posts -Nightmare Grifters Interested? Donate to Cursed Morsels on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/cursedmorsels

lmao

We're gonna be revealing the first of two cover art brain-melters from @jennacha.bsky.social in next week's newsletter. If you have amazing taste in art—and of course you do, you follow us!—and wanna see just why Jenna is one of our faves, you should subscribe now: sendfox.com/tenebrouspress

actually, angels speak like that—impossibly resonant, booming, forcing your bones to shake terror into your soul like caffeinated rohypnol—cuz they are mouths disembodied, tracheas stretched all the way from the godsourcelungs up in heaven. also cuz they smoke 7 packs a day. in case you didn't know

Joshi (whose quote this is) makes the very common error of mistaking Lovecraft's disdain for the Modernists with a rejection of their project. that's not true at all - he felt that the Modernists didn't go FAR ENOUGH. See, for example, his excoriation of Winesburg, OH as milquetoast pastoral revolt

it's a good week for stories involving arms

tbh, the only eggers film i like is the lighthouse and i'm tired of being afraid to live my truth: robert eggers is goth wes anderson.

we are currently sold out of our first printing. our second, final printing will be at the beginning of november. first priority will be given to folks who emailed for the waitlist; once this batch is gone, that's a wrap on the physical/print zine!

i love him so much, and i cannot overstate how much my heart needs for him to be elected

about to do another round of line edits, but i can comfortably say that this newest piece i have written is now my favorite thing i have ever written.

oh my god

oh shit! perhaps the perfect opportunity for me to write that paper on anita lane's art and how integral she was to the making of great gothic art by the men around her?
