31 Days of Horror, Day Two: Obsession - Unquiet Things

I liked Obsession more than I thought I would, even though it's actually quite gross and upsetting.

The October Marinade is up over at Midnight Stinks! Ok, so there is a loose theme here, but it's more to be found in my impressions of these perfumes, rather than the perfumes themselves. If that makes any sense! Well, you read on and let me know 😉 www.patreon.com/midnightstin...

It is October first, so you know what that means over on the blog: 31 Days of Horror! First up is Marrowbone, a film exactly like I Know What You Did Last Summer in zero ways. unquietthings.com/31-days-of-h...

31 Days Of Horror, Day One: Marrowbone - Unquiet Things

I went into Marrowbone knowing nothing about it except this poster: four pale, solemn young faces crammed together over the title, looking for all the world

Scent(s) of the night: This is an exceptional combination. Sharing it side by side with my review for this fragrance, if’n yr interested.

On the blog today, a gathering of thoughts on all the perfumes I have sniffed lately! Featuring feral prunes, a Hot Topic rose, foraging Hokkaido snow fairies, a rootin'-tootin' vanilla varmint, and the Jenna Maroney-est of musks. And other smells! unquietthings.com/september-pe...

Friends and readers, if you could find the time and energy and bandwidth to share a review for my new book on goodreads and/or Amazon, I’d be very appreciative!

My feed is overrun w/ people fretting re: baffled baby readers who can't tell depiction from endorsement, who read satire as sincere, who need every book to announce its moral. Fair! It's concerning! But Robert Frost was fretting about the same thing in 1930:

I am watching Halloween for the gazillionth time, and I just noticed there's a James Ensor poster hanging over Laurie Strode's dresser. Ensor almost made it into The Art of the Unknown.

If there's a thread running through everything I read, it's people desperate to be seen, and the terrible things they'll do to get there. Also, at least three protagonists who should have called the police and pointedly did not. unquietthings.com/third-quarte...

In celebration of my book, The Art of the Unknown, the fragrant fabulists & alchemical aesthetes at @bpal.bsky.social have gathered up a handful of the book’s visuals & distilled them drop by drop into perfumes as rich and curious as the artworks themselves blackphoenixalchemylab.com/collections/...

Although I have been writing and journaling since roughly the womb, the creative practice of artsy-fartsifying the pages a page becomes an objet d’art, is fairly new to me. So I,I created a handful of fragrance-focused perfume journal prompts about it. www.patreon.com/midnightstin...

As many incredible artworks as I was able to include in The Art of the Unknown, there’s twice as many that ended up on the cutting room floor! Seems a shame not to share these incredible artists (and also I mean I wrote thousands of words to accompany them and I hate to let them languish!)

I am very slowly recording two decade’s worth of perfume reviews into some of the blank journals I've got gathering dust on my shelves, while at the same time trying to use up this stash of crafting materials I have collected (and also practice writing with all my new fountain pens!)

Every book I write has a secret twin: the phantom edition that contains all the art I wanted to include but couldn't acquire. Here’s part one for As Not Seen In The Art Of The Unknown unquietthings.com/a-secret-boo...

Today The Art of the Unknown is released into the world! This freaky, phantasmagoric artbook was a joy to write from its nebulous beginnings to its equally inscrutable end, and I hope you have as much fun reading and exploring it as I did writing it.
