Buy a copy of the new anthology, edited by S.T. Joshi, One of Cleopatra's Nights: Tales and Poems of Egyptian Horror. My poem is a retainer buried with the weird pharaohs—Clark Ashton Smith, Edgar Allan Poe, Robert E. Howard, Robert W. Chambers, and Lord Dunsany! www.amazon.com/dp/B0GX25P4VL

If we bring about world peace, replacing bombs with books, guns for food, missiles for spaceships… Then we can finally set time aside to build rovers to take aesthetic landscape shots of all the extraterrestrial mountains we can find… (It will be like Ansel Adams, but for other worlds!)

If you wanna support an indie press: post about em on Reddit (apparently)! This has been up <24 hours & our webstore is cookin', w/enough crossover of the pictured books that I can confidently track the surge to this post. Anyhoo: Talking about the things you love wills more of 'em into the world🖤☠️

"DREAMERICA" is my still-life photography series, a response to Trump's All-American Fascism. Shot on Yoru 400. #Trump #Amerikkka #bnw #35mm #monochrome #photography #satire #filmneverdie

One cannot ignore Trump's malignant narcissism and personal criminality, but what is the point of posing the breakdown of Capitalism through individuated psychology? Trump is America's Hitler. But it is still ideological to view the state of things through Great Man Theory.

Everyone should read “Second Variety”! It’s on Project Gutenberg for free, but I recently read it in this, and was blown away.

Obligatory read. To reckon with the fascist toilet we find ourselves in, we only need to look at Tommy Ruggles Pynchon Jr.

Don't forget to check out @thedeadlands.com for some excellent stories. The skulls demand it! :-) Here is a pair of covers I illustrated- oil pastel, acrylic paint and digital colour. Fun to design a themed set! #art #horror

Thank you so much to @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social for selecting my short story, amongst many other fantastic short stories, for Reactor's Must Read Short Spec Fic! I wanted my short story to be an imaginary ekphrastic piece, which would not reproduce the cliches and formulae of the horror genre.
