Another great article from Dr. Janega, you should read it: "They believe in the glory of the Roman Empire and its inherent good because they themselves currently live inside a violent empire that exists to funnel money to a wealthy elite."

yet another useful, clarifying piece from @doctorow.pluralistic.net "I don't think you can solve this as a consumer, because this isn't a market problem, it's a political problem, and shopping isn't politics" pluralistic.net/2026/06/11/l...

what else... I read Dathan Auerbach's Penpal. It's interesting and beautifully made. It's similar to Triana's Gone to See the River Man in that the story isn't that unusual or out of the way (for horror) but the way it's told is extremely effective. #horrorlit

I think you're correct in having your characters feel cold, I felt cold for a long, long time. At first it's shock, so that's definitely accurate. I also felt numb and sort of underwater? Like everything was in slow motion.

I love monster stories 👹. Best of luck finishing your book, I hope it goes well! 💙

My friends who were right under said they were so focused on getting themselves and others out that they didn't really register much else. Sorry I couldn't help. What are you working on (if you want to say)?

I wasn't right under the towers, I was about a mile away, saw it out the window. When we were evacuated it was still just a beautiful September day. Later I could smell it and that really freaked me out. I was numb that whole week. I felt cold but I think that was shock?

More trans horror! Willow Heath's short story collection Managing and Other Lies is excellent, eerie and unsettling. You can watch Willow's entertaining, trustworthy book reviews on www.youtube.com/@WillowTalks.... I love her so much 💙. #horrorlit

these people are so damn goofy. Evil, but also goofy as hell.

Moira @moiragentry.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

Samantha Allen’s Patricia Wants to Cuddle is pure goofy fun, absolutely adored this. I looooooved David Sodergren’s The Haar. Sheer perfection, highly recommended. Elias Witherow’s The Black Farm is, like, Boy’s Own Adventure extreme horror. It’s kind of goofy. #horrorlit

The two best short stories I read were P. H. Lee’s The V*mpire (I sobbed my face off, holy shit), read it for free on reactormag.com and Laird Barron’s Tiptoe (when I tell you this story sneaks up on you yiiikes. I’m still scared wtf.) Read it for free on electricliterature.com. #horrorlit

LOVE IS REAL buckaroos! I read 2 Chuck Tingle novels: 1.) Bury Your Gays, a scary, funny adventure, and 2.) Camp Damascus, with an autistic protagonist 💙. He's a great writer, warm, witty, heartfelt, occasionally gory, and sincere, which I love. #horrorlit

Did you know there’s such a thing as cozy horror? John Wiswell’s fantasy Someone You Can Build a Nest In is a particular joy to read if you’re neurodivergent and I absolutely adored it. Very fun read. I’m not a big romance girlie, but the romance in this story is LEGIT. #horrorlit

Moira @moiragentry.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

Speaking of trans horror, Judith Sonnet’s short story collection Something Akin to Revulsion is wild, vile, & SO gross. There’s something gleeful & furious about the grossness & extremity. I highly DO NOT recommend. Only I kind of do because Sonnet is awesome. #horrorlit

A new writer for me is Andrew Joseph White; I read You Weren’t Meant to be Human and… yikes. More trans horror (a bit too close to home for me: forced pregnancy NO THANK YOU), it really got me. It’s very well written, clear, vivid, and a page-turner. #horrorlit

Moira @moiragentry.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

One that sticks in my mind is Alison Rumfitt’s anti-fascist haunted house Tell Me I’m Worthless. This is another trans horror story & it’s GRIM, super uncomfortable; toward the end it explodes into a howling misery of stream of consciousness. Memorable & affecting. #horrorlit

Moira @moiragentry.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

I’m afraid to read Tananarive Due, her work is terrifying and haunting, but she is the actual best and I love her. Her writing is precise, vivid, & honest. The latest Due I read was The Reformatory. It’s a difficult read but worth it. Highly recommend. #horrorlit

2.) The Buffalo Hunter Hunter, I don’t even have anything to say about this book except it’s perfect and you should read it immediately. (It is easier to read than his other stuff.) #horrorlit

Moira @moiragentry.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

Also Stephen Graham Jones’ 1.) My Heart is a Chainsaw. A brutal slasher (with ghosts!), it’s a grim gory epic with an appealing, sympathetic protagonist. If you can handle Graham Jones’ dense, complex prose (& detailed, lengthy descriptions of extreme bloody violence), a must-read. #horrorlit
