Wittens was not in any of her usual napping spots. I went to make my bed, and who did I find? A whiskered interloper! #catnap #catlover #cats 🐈‍⬛

I just watched Mike Flanagan‘s “The Haunting of Hill House” miniseries. I’d avoided it because it’s not a direct adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s brilliant novel but an ‘inspired by’ story. The series is superlative on its own - Timothy Hutton is great - but the novel remains my dark true love. 🖤💙📚🎥

Finally got around to watching "The Conjuring". Yeah nah... nah. Not for me. Trope after trope had me swinging from that rope. I love a good haunted house tale but "The Conjuring" gave witchcraft a bad name and I can't go for that, no can do. 🎥🖤 #horrorfan #hauntedhouse #horrorfilms

Opshop Dark Victory! After years of searching, I found the third book in The Passage trilogy. And now, my journey through these books can begin. 🖤💙📚💀 #horrorcollector #horrorbooks #vampirebooks #horrornovels

I really enjoyed this crime thriller by Michael Bennett. The whole way through “Better The Blood” I kept thinking, ‘This is so much better than it has to be.’ It’s certainly of the cop thriller genre but it’s got heaps of depth and insight. 💙📚🇳🇿📚 #aonzbooks #aotearoabooks #nzbooks #booksnz #thrillers

The Scooby Doo Gang makes a Faustian bargain with a fire breathing dragon in Joe Hill’s “ King Sorrow”. Some fantastic set pieces in this epic, modern, dark fantasy. Is it Joe Hill’s best novel? I think so. 💙📚 #horrornovel #horrorfan

‘The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off’. RIP Gloria Steinem. As a teenager in the 70s, my mother pointed me to Gloria Steinem. She wanted me to understand that 51% of the population deserved equality... and still do. www.rnz.co.nz/life/people/... Image: Barbara Alper

I was an American teenager who experienced the Iranian revolution. I loved living in Iran, and when I returned to the USA, I was confused and heartbroken. Marjane’s “Persepolis” was not my story but spoke to me. I will always be thankful for her strength, spirit, and honesty. RIP Marjane Satrapi.💙📚

Great wrapup by Steve Braunius. It was my first Featherston Book Festival but it won’t be my last! I was at the thriller event when the chainsaw kicked off - savour the flavour, I reckon. 💙📚🙌🖤🇳🇿https://newsroom.co.nz/2026/05/11/featherston-wins-again/

Final Day at the Featherston Book Festival: 3 modern Kiwi thrillers, and my second favourite Bradbury (for only $2). Got to meet Bryan Walpert and Michael Bennett after attending their Blood and Empathy talk. Great way to close out my weekend in Featherston. 💙📚🖤🇳🇿💀🔥 #featherstonbookfestival

Finally got around to watching '28 Years Later' and 'The Bone Temple'. Riveting horror and exactly what I want - dark, layered, character-driven, beautifully shot, exquisitely acted - and with no punches pulled. Elevated dark fiction on film. How's that? 💙🎬😱 #horrorfan #horrormovies #apocalypse

This might sound like a strange comment coming from a old atheist, but if I’m gonna see Jesus Christ Superstar, the dude needs to look like a California hippie circa 1972, and Pilot must have a snooty British accent. Can’t escape my programming.

I just finished Joyce Carol Oates' "FOX" - repulsive, mesmerizing, and brilliant. It's about a monster who hides in plain sight, and how expectations and internal narratives are as good as blindfolds. Humans will believe in almost anything, or anyone, right up until it's too late. 💙📚😱 #darkfiction

I was 17 in 1978, an American expat living through the revolution in Iran. I listened to this song a lot. Wandering the streets of Tehran, stoned on cheap hashish, oblivious to the world around me. ‘Downed, downed, out of my head.’ Yep. Takes me right back there.

Got a horror mate who loves his 80s slasher films. Not a reader so I loaned him “My Heart is a Chainsaw” by Stephen Graham Jones. He came back with a set of Friday the 13th DVDs. I reckon I’ll watch the first one and the fourth one? 🖤💙📚😱 #horrormovie #horrornovel #stephengrahamjones #fridaythe13th
