The dirty secret is that rich people need to live in politically stable regimes in order to keep their wealth. They will piss and moan about taxes, but they will not flee en masse. They like paved roads and not being kidnapped too much.

For the first time ever, all the amazing author events at Telluride Horror Show have an official name (and logo). Introducing the "To Hell You Read Horror Book Club"! And I'm so lucky to have been the Crypt Keeper-style host all these years. It's seriously the best.

Here we go! THS 2026 (Oct 16-18) and the "To Hell You Read Horror Book Club" are so excited to welcome Tananarive Due, Steven Barnes, Nat Cassidy, Eric LaRocca, and CJ Leede! Crazy film line-up, too, including a Fango Q & A with Ernest Dickerson and a screening of Demon Knight. Can't wait!

when a two star review truly understands your soul better than most five stars. make it the blurb. THE MARIGOLD.

No. Noooo no no, did not like. Characters meh. Didn't care what happened to them. Glacial overwrought pace. Prosey AF. Felt like I was wearing a grey sludge patina over my soul for days while reading. Nearly DNF. Need several dozen hot showers and a good fantasy novel to shake the feeling of being sunk neck deep in neverending dull Scottish muggy moors for a week under a doomsday sky, alone. Not even birds. If soggy ancient grain bread were a novel.

I feel like portions of the guy with C4 exploding in his butt in Man on Fire may have reached an ignition point. p.s. I don't understand C4.

Chinook salmon have recolonised 88% of their historic range on the Klamath River, with more than 13,000 fish passing the old Iron Gate Dam site in 2025, up from 7,700 the year before. Two years after the dams’ removal, it’s going better than anyone predicted. buff.ly/pToC9gB #ShareGoodNewsToo

Oh yeah - the books on ghosts, hauntings, and unexplained phenomena were right there too! I only really left that section to find SLUGS, THE STUPIDS, and Shel Silverstein stuff.

I can remember the exact shelving of this book series at the Deschutes Public Library in 1984. And the best books about sharks were on the same row!

All the Wrong Ideas by Jeremy Robert Johnson - stories and a novella, all completely different tho most range from creepy to horror, readable and memorable, overall some of the most messed up fiction I've ever read, and I loved it! @jrjisprobable.bsky.social's mind is a wild and wondrous place

SO FOR THE FUTURE (LITERALLY) WE'RE NOT ACCEPTING AI POSTERS OR FLYERS FOR THE PUB.

We're right next to Ireland's biggest Art College, lads. It's not a good look.

WE UNDERSTAND BANDS CAN BE SKINT BUT RELYING ON SOME EARTH KILLING APP FROM SOME PAEDO ISLAND BILLIONAIRE IS NOT THE WAY. WE GOT BY WITHOUT IT AND WE'LL GET BY AGAIN.

It has been such a tremendous honor to see my books and so many books written by my peers featured prominently in various Pride posts for the past day or so. Queer Horror is thriving and you’re missing out if you’re not reading Alison Rumfitt, Paula D. Ashe, Judith Sonnet, Hailey Piper, etc. 🏳️‍🌈🖤

The best apocalypse tales do more than warn-they force us to reassess our place in the food chain. @jrjisprobable.bsky.social's Extinction Journals nails it, reminding that "you're the only one who will ever truly know you were even alive." Read it. If you end up wanting a new suit after, it worked!
