INCARNATE by @almakatsu.bsky.social comes out tomorrow! It's horror, but it's just my speed (which means it isn't too gross or scary!). Stories don't get much more timely than this one! Check out my interview with her and then grab the book tomorrow! circulatingideas.com/2026/07/30/3...

Yes, I had stumbled upon the first appearance of The New Teen Titans by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, but I was so focused on the image on the left that I missed the historically significant image on the right.

I guess these Rocco twins who did some vocal work on that initial "All or Nothing" album are now performing as Milli Vanilli?? If so, who's the person pictured on the Freedom 250 flyer???

Yay, my hold came in for FIEND by @almakatsu.bsky.social! Over centuries, the Berisha family has ruthlessly amassed wealth and power, but at what cost to themselves? Will the next generation continue under the dark cloud that follows the family, or can they steer their legacy in a new direction?

The book, "Fiend" by Alma Katsu, laying on a desk, partially on a keyboard. The book cover has a gothic building in a cityscape with a dark cloud above.
