www.bookpage.com/reviews/atom... Lovely stuff from Laura at BookPage! Thank you!! "A brilliant mix of Tom Clancy and Ridley Scott, Atomic Coffin is a claustrophobic thrill-ride that will leave you guessing." ⚛️⚰️

Book review of Atomic Coffin by Benedict Anning

Atomic Coffin combines the creeping dread of Cold War brinkmanship with the terrifying unknown of cosmic horror.

Happy Public Lands Day! All four of these images were taken on straight-up public land - not National Park, Monument or Wilderness. There's so much out there, and our formal protected categories by no means cover all the amazing places. #landscapephotography #publiclands #idaho #nevada #newmexico

Landscape photo of steep snowy mountains and tawny hills at sunset, with a complex pattern of dappled golden light mixed with shadow.

Photograph of two high desert peaks under an orange sunset sky. The larger peak in the distance wears a lenticular cloud on its summit. The closer one has sparse trees around its base, with steeper rock outcrops higher up. They are separated by a broad and empty yellow plain.

Vertical photograph of a landscape of very steep granite cliffs and crags, with just a tough of warm light on the highest formation.

Landscape photo overlooking a sparsely timbered valley in autumn, with warm low angle sunlight shining in from the upper right, illuminating green shrubs and red ground flora.

Spooky boat book day! Jubilation! Many happy returns! 🚢👻 Read a splendid early version and called it a "delicious slice of the historical, brimming with wit and mystery and vividly drawn characters you cannot help but fall for."

A copy of the book THE FLESH I WANT by Todd S. Jordan. Man, it looks so cool. The text beside it says, “Available now on NetGalley. Titan Books.”

Confessions II is a great follow-up not just from the production angle but on account of how the contemporary vernacular rlly sets it aside from Madonna's catalogue "don't be a vibekill" "I don't fuck with it!" You tell 'em, grandma

looking back through POV2's threads in Part 2 after finishing POV1's thread for Part 3 and trying to re-engage that other part of the brain before arranging new content for POV2's incomplete thread for Part 3 while simultaneously balancing a structure for Part 3 overall so both POVs work together

We stood on the cusp of a hazy fairy tale, picking flowers in the Ochre Meadow as we tried to catch the whispers of the ghost stones. The presence of Summer was at our sides, but the cold of Winter was all around us

A graphite pencil drawing of a winged creature walking through a forest with ancient ruins. A unicorn person walks at their side, holding a basket of flowers while a mink person watches the two of them from atop a crumbling stone fountain. The fountain is shaped like a bull's head and water spurts from its throat.
