Ursula K. LeGuin’s “Nine Lives” had me sobbing on my dinner break a couple of nights ago, and then I proceeded to get choked up thinking about it two more times before my shift was over.

I swear I’m not just saying it because I’ve got a piece in here, but I totally agree, not a bad story in this anthology! Gabriela Santiago’s “I Don’t Wanna Go to Mexico No More, More, More” was stellar and probably my favorite of the bunch.

Supreme bummer how many Born Against songs are still relevant 35+ years later

Truly honored my story “Elizabeth By the Pea Patch” was included in this great anthology, and even if it wasn’t I’d still be singing its praises!

@ericjguignard.bsky.social did a fantastic job curating this; I honestly can’t remember the last time I read such a consistently strong anthology. I‘m still over the moon my story was included in it!

Highly recommend the Indigenous black metal band Pan-Amerikan Native Front. Here they are playing a killer set at KEXP in Seattle!

This falls on my birthday! 2am on my birthday, but I still grabbed a ticket and will stay up for it. I’m due to reread some more Aickman, so this is a good incentive to do so over the next month or two.

Glad to see Antrum get some love! The wraparound mockumentary detracts a bit from the experience for me, but the film itself is fantastically eerie. I recommend the Vourdalak on Shudder if you haven't seen it. It’s one of my favorite horror films of the last few years!

2 has some cool stuff going on; it explores the lore, which is interesting, but I prefer the suggestion the first leaves us with. 3 is standalone, sort of an “elsewhere…” situation, 4 picks up after the events of the second film.

J. Edward Gregal @jedwardgregal.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

The first movie Is one of my faves! 2 is okay, but it lacks the frantic claustrophobia of 1. Worth watching, though. I struggled with the rest. 3 is a comedy, 4 is more action-oriented, both are skippable.

Same here! I’ve always wondered if “The Broadsword” was inspired by Leiber’s Our Lady of Darkness and/or Klein’s “Children of the Kingdom”. And man, “Mysterium Tremendum” is a contender for my favorite short story ever.

Characterizing the divide between what the right wants and those who oppose fascists wielding state power to commit violence against the marginalized as a “disagreement“ is, frankly, a bananas take, Senator.

My brain started melting trying to decide if it’s “Siamese Twins” or “Doing the Unstuck” or ”Love Song” or “Catch” or “From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea” or “A Forest” or “Burn” so I’m just gonna say “Just Like Heaven”

we have an authoritarian leader who is going full duterte, and that’s just *one* reason it scares me how happy liberals are to use dehumanizing language about addiction to attack others. you’d think we’d learn something from all the ICE concentration camps going up, but we haven’t learned shit

K.W. Jeter sounds fantastic! I know I owned Mantis at some point, have to check to see if I still have it when I get home. Synchronistically, I’m reading PKD’s Valis and it turns out the character I’m vibing with in that book is based on Jeter!

It changes with every reread, but “Probiscis” was my introduction (via a dude called a dude called Death Metal/Dahmer Dave who photocopied it from a Year’s Best collection for me) so it holds a special place in my heart. “Hallucigenia” really stood out in this last reread, too.

I had a poster from a magazine for the first movie on my wall when I was young. I remember poring over every little detail, the tech, the weird fishnets, everything, and speculating about it endlessly. I still don’t want to be told about any of it.

Been listening to The Cure’s Pornography a ton lately. “Siamese Twins” is one of my favorite Cure songs, and this fuzzy black and white video with warped sound, ballet dancers, and string accompaniment is just mesmerizing.

I rented Zeder as a teen and found it less awesome than its cover. I’ve been meaning to revisit it now that my tastes are more refined. Speaking of refined tastes, stoked to see some Polonia brothers on here! I need to add them to my list this year, too.
