Malka Older’s @older.bsky.social Centenal Cycle (Infomocracy, Null States, and State Tectonics) is cyberpunk for policy wonks and I absolutely loved all three books. Everything about the world Older builds is meticulously thought through and so well-plotted! #booksky 📚🚀 #scifi

saw this in 1981 or 82 as a preteen on some kind of repeater of KWGN-TV from Denver. Saturday afternoon matinees of Universal monsters, Ray Harryhausen stop-motion, dubbed Godzilla movies, and gems like this. My cinematic DNA right here.

I don’t have books to sell (because magazines pay me upfront) but I do love being *read* So, here’s a thread of my short fiction, available in text/audio for free:

I can’t wait to read more of A.L. Goldfuss’ @ghoulpus.bsky.social stuff. “Not Like Other Girls” is a gloriously uncomfortable indictment while somehow also being a triumphant expression of freedom. Whiffs of Stephen King’s “Gray Matter” for me for some reason, but so much more depth and craft.

If you see this, post your mentor
the robot Tom Servo from Mystery Science Theater 3000. He sports a hoverskirt that supports a barrel-shaped torso with springy arms and white hands. His head is a transparent gumball machine globe without facial features like eyes, nose, and ears. He has a beak-shaped mouth that could double as the dispenser for the gumball machine globe just above it.

I got a box for Blatz—found it at a yard sale in the late 80s and it has made every move I’ve made since
a wooden case from the first half of the 20th century with hammered metal sides advertising the Milwaukee beer Blatz,  “The Beverage of Quality.” Likely held 24 12 oz bottles.

my remedy when I get into a rut like that is to find something fast-paced and balls-to-the-wall crazy. May I suggest Coffin Moon by Keith Rosson or The Price You Pay by Aidan Truhen? Seriously could not put either of them down.

#Finished OF MONSTERS AND MAINFRAMES by Barbara Truelove @barbaratruelove.bsky.social and it was wonderful. A fantastic cast of wacky but heartfelt characters navigating a fast-paced plot thrumming with action, humor, and genuine caring. A lovely, crazy-ass stunner! #booksy 📚💙 #scifibooks 📚🪐
book jacket for Of Monsters and Mainframes by Barbara Truelove. There is a spaceship in the upper left corner diagonally facing the corner. A spill of rainbow-colored exhaust winds its way diagonally through the frame toward the lower right corner. The title of the book is splashed across the middle of the cover in 3D lettering that also incorporates rainbow colors. A wide-open mouth with vampire fangs completes the image, with the top and bottom rows of teeth “eating” the title.

#Finished Saltcrop by Yume Kitasei @yumewrites.bsky.social and, as she said, it was a little different from her other books—in the best way. Infused with the warts-and-all realities of sisterhood and brimming with confident and intruiging world-building. Highly, highly recommend! #booksky
the book jacket for Saltcrop by Yume Kitasei, featuring a calm sea and blue sky dividing the image in half. A sailboat sits in the middle, with a crescent moon above and to the left. Bright red, purple, and blue ribbons of color wave through thr upper left and lower right diagonals of the image.

I hope you’ll give the rest a chance, even though nearly all the stories don’t feature characters from the book other than vague mentions of Flagg and Mother A. The stories do inhabit the world and many get to the heart of the prevalent themes in The Stand quite well. YMMV, of course!

Gen X is the "Gifted and Talented" generation. If you look at anything talking about Gen X written in the 90s, it was all about promise and things to come. Expectations we so high for us, and we crashed and burned as a cultural force. And now we just talk about that one time we drank from the hose.

#NowWatching John Carpenter’s ridiculously preposterous yet endlessly watchable PRINCE OF DARKNESS. Come for the laughable exposition, stay for the moody soundtrack and Donald Pleasence Donald Pleasence-ing all over the place. Jameson Parker’s moustache is also worth the watch. WONDERFUL! #filmsky

This book is a jet-black 1975 Plymouth Duster with a 360 V8 and a 4-barrel carb gunning in your TBR pile, just waiting for you ease into the driver’s seat and lay tracks into the night. Could not put it down! Greasy, bleak, and fevered, but somehow also wears its heart on its sleeve.
