Really enjoyed seeing Hokum tonight. Damian McCarthy is proving himself a master of weird cinema by not overexplaining his scares and letting the unsettling atmosphere of his setting speak for itself. The weird elements don’t all cohere neatly, but they rhyme in such a satisfying way!
Love this mash up of science and fantasy from fellow Portlander @bugthewriter.bsky.social!
Great resource for reading free stories, including several from the master @lairdbarron.bsky.social

Stop what you’re doing and buy this book. @thomasha.bsky.social has done something really remarkable with this collection!

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

It's Friday the 13th!🩸🔪💀
Uhh...preorder some Weird horror books? Or maybe stock up on some of our titles that your bookshelves are desperately missing?
I dunno, we didn't really think this one out ahead of time.

Happy Women in Horror Month! I urge you to read books by women not only this month, but every month. Let's celebrate and spotlight the many incredibly gifted authors that grace our libraries and bookstores, and shelves. (I've read the top two, here, and am reading the other two.) What you got? WiHM

My preferred AI metaphor is actually Asbestos.
- Seemingly magical properties
- Developed and experimented with to make endless products
- Poisoned countless communities in it's creation
- Everything it was used for eventually becomes a toxic hazard to mitigate & it's in the fucking walls now
