Yeah, looks like the beginning of a funnel to the left(?) Was it rotating?

Few books have pulled me into a protagonist’s entire world like @ericlarocca.com’s Wretch. This is is a down-and-dirty, hallucinatory, no-guardrails sprint along a narrow and bumpy ledge. It bends the grieving psyche into a new shape, and so rethinks the mechanics of haunting.

I’m there—along with Schoenberg, Derbyshire, Stravinsky, Riley…

F.M. Scott @fmscottauthor.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

Who knows—maybe it will have taken a dumb, weak, overprotected hatemonger to (finally!) kill that worthless centuries-old cult and its influence on a nation founded by white slaveholders. But the people will do this. Not some fictional sky daddy with a male pronoun. You’re welcome. 😄

F.M. Scott @fmscottauthor.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

Really dug this one! Plenty weird and intriguing in flash space. Well done.

I’ll go with the steg. Ornate and more compact, but it can slice you with its tail.

And they’ll do anything to spin the language toward the belief that lazy “writers” are a persecuted class.

Fresh drabble on @horrortree.com So I’m celebrating the arrival of Spring by giving Winter one last laugh. But don’t worry, it’s not at your expense. Fun fact: the title is a slightly altered Zombies song lyric. horrortree.com/trembling-wi...

Trembling With Fear 3-22-26 - The Horror Tree

F.M. Scott @fmscottauthor.bsky.social · 08/02/2026

I cannot begin to imagine the shitty attempts at dialogue, exposition, and voice—let alone a credible fuck scene—resulting from a few pushed buttons. Generative AI is yet another rock our dumb culture has turned over—“Come on out, chuds, it’s okay ‘cause I’m a loser too.”

Happy to be in another fine mix this week with my drabble, “At the Seams”! A fond farewell to EIC @laurenwrites.bsky.social—best wishes on all your pursuits! Welcome, Jane Morecroft and Angela E. Zolner, to the helm!

F.M. Scott @fmscottauthor.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

That always summed it up for me.

F.M. Scott @fmscottauthor.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

Yeah, if someone’s appearance isn’t plot-critical I prefer to describe it in passing—e.g. “he/they lugged his/their stocky frame down the sidewalk” or “her/their neck-length hair lapped against a cheek in the breeze”.

F.M. Scott @fmscottauthor.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

Well done in general but I thought it was at least a half hour too long.

F.M. Scott @fmscottauthor.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

“Hey, yeah…Have you considered asking them what’s really bothering them—I mean someone who does that has to be hurting inside… ‘Does anyone want to have coffee with you? Did you get anything for Christmas?’ Or maybe, ‘Do you have 15 minutes to talk about Cialis?’”

Trembling With Fear 1-11-26 - The Horror Tree

F.M. Scott @fmscottauthor.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

But I’m sure it provides an amusing ambient track.

F.M. Scott @fmscottauthor.bsky.social · 31/10/2025

Agreed. It’s called community.

F.M. Scott @fmscottauthor.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

Truth! I think I’ve seen a few on YT; the Brits do not fuck around. 😈🖤

A mysterious old man. A sudden and inexplicable act. And from there, a small town becomes the epicenter of violence and bloodshed driven by poisonous bigotry and hate. @ericlarocca.bsky.social weaves themes of loss and trauma against the search for an ever-absent god. @clashbooks.bsky.social

OPUS is a thinker film on the subject of post-Jonestown cults. Ayo Edebiri is unafraid and compelling, and Malkovich is superb in his creepy charisma and treachery. (Think: the fantasies of Elon Musk as articulated by Right Said Fred.)

The year is approaching its 66.6% mark, and I’ll say that WEAPONS is the most engaging new flick I’ve seen. Director Zach Cregger ups the ante on themes from BARBARIAN (2022) with a narrative whose lines cross (literally?) from slow-burn batshit to full-on paroxysmal batshit. Tons of fun!

When you want Ripley in power but to put Ripley in power you have to deploy Carrie.

Good article! It’s naive, indeed, to deny centuries of religious evolution and ignore the things that faith, whether real or appropriated, makes people do. The novella I’ve queried to one publisher is steeped in these things. And the homework was easy because of the environment in which I grew up.

F.M. Scott @fmscottauthor.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

As a person who had religion stuffed into his young head—eventually rejecting it at age 13—I’ll say that HERETIC was a refreshing deconstruction. Grant’s performance=metal. The film’s greatest stunt, though, was that it was fair to believers too. I mean, somebody had to take the booby prize home.

We’ll be waiting for you. 🌘

F.M. Scott @fmscottauthor.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

Listen, I want to make something good and goddamn clear regarding trump and his cult: If you’re a “no eye for an eye” person, a “turn the other cheek” person, or other comparable idiot, GET OFF MY FEED, NOW! You are not my friend. Did people go soft on the nazis? It’s no different in principle.

F.M. Scott @fmscottauthor.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

Oh, I hate his motherfucking guts. Make no mistake about that. You should, too. He’d see you or me dead or naked in the street first. As for “owning”, who wants to own complete and worthless trash? Do you? Destroy M*GA! Zero sanctimony here. 🖕

Same, but “Father’s Day” was funny too.
