Gramma Zippo @beegeevee.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Especially in horror; widening my perspective on what is or can be "horrifying" has really shone a spotlight on what i previously took for granted, and introduced me to some excellent writers. 020
Gramma Zippo @beegeevee.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I (white, male, cis, het, USA genre reader) made a conscious decision several years ago to seek out more genre work by a wider range of authors (women and also queer writers and writers who aren't white) -- and it's been fucking awesome! 140
Gramma Zippo @beegeevee.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Hard agree with your thread, but I’m actually stuck on “jack hanger”, which I love. It has perfect insult meter but is completely opaque to me; I may have to use it in conversation today. 021
Gramma Zippo @beegeevee.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Just finished The Starving Saints by @caitlinstarling.com and hooo, what a ride! Every time I thought “Oh, this story is like *this*” it changed into something even more interesting.

Gramma Zippo @beegeevee.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I read Dead Weight by @hildur.bsky.social and loved it! Intense all the way through, which I think would be difficult in a much longer book — I’m really digging shorter novels right now. 1102

Gramma Zippo @beegeevee.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Never woulda thought I'd enjoy a novel so steeped in the world of ballet, but stir in some Faustian horror and "I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me" by @wickedjamison.bsky.social was a lot of fun. bookshop.org/p/books/i-fe...

Gramma Zippo @beegeevee.bsky.social · 15/01/2026@agoldman.bsky.social "Brainsquatch" is the episode that finally got me to pay for Hyperfixed. It hit all the sweet spots: a little science, some reportage, a relatable phenomenon, pop culture i'm only vaguely aware of, a Goldman tongue-twister. 010
Gramma Zippo @beegeevee.bsky.social · 15/01/2026The state organized a militia to terrorize Americans, and "responsible gun owners" did absolutely nothing. "Responsible gun owners" and the 2nd amendment can go to hell. 000

Gramma Zippo @beegeevee.bsky.social · 04/01/2026Pinchot’s reading of the (first?) Lowry portion of Absolution is like an Alvin Ailey troupe performance where the dancers are expletives 000
Gramma Zippo @beegeevee.bsky.social · 24/12/2025I loved @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social’s Annihilation, enjoyed the next two. I’m about 1/4 thru Absolution, listening this time - Bronson Pinchot is fantastic! Might have to re-read the entirety as audiobooks. 000

Gramma Zippo @beegeevee.bsky.social · 14/12/2025So I replaced the wipers on the car and the old ones cut my finger, and I said to my wife I said “maybe I’ll get superpowers” and she said “maybe you’ll die of sepsis” 000
Gramma Zippo @beegeevee.bsky.social · 12/12/2025Listened to “The Changeling” as read by @victorlavalle.bsky.social himself. Loved it! Made me miss New York, too. 110

Gramma Zippo @beegeevee.bsky.social · 12/11/2025"The Night That Finds Us All" is a chef's-kiss-perfect weird fiction title, and the novel by @johnhornor.bsky.social does a great job living up to those expectations.

Gramma Zippo @beegeevee.bsky.social · 19/09/2025Oh excellent! Now i can google "demand avoidance" for the rest of the day instead of doing the simple thing i've been meaning to do for three weeks. 010
Gramma Zippo @beegeevee.bsky.social · 18/09/2025Just finished the audiobook of Borne by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social, and it was fantastic. Mord will haunt my daydreams for weeks. Also, narration by Bahni Turpin was excellent! 000
Gramma Zippo @beegeevee.bsky.social · 06/08/2025Eating in a car is depressing, full stop. If I am eating in a car, it means I have failed in some meaningful way. Eating standing next to a car in a parking lot is a life-affirming joy in comparison. 000
