They didn’t even have to give them eyes. Coulda just skipped the eyes. But they didn’t skip the eyes and now we have googly-eyed friends to cry about

the tapestries are SO important but personally i’m still crying over this candle. this candle is HUGE. and it’s not even the entire candle, because the candle was used! so it’s melted down!

a Spanish candle circa 1450-1500, burned every Easter. it is a huge candle set atop a huge candle stand

How To Survive This Fairytale

If you'd like to read How to Survive This Fairytale because it is now an award winning book, you can ask your local library to order a copy, walk into your local indie bookstore, purchase an ebook, or buy direct from Ingram (I make more money on sales with this link): shorturl.at/0Aeyl

shorturl.at

A queer fairy tale romance tinged with the horror of reliving your story over and over again, perfect for fans of The Everlasting and Harrow the Ninth. That can't be the way this story ends. Try agai...

So many people have reached out to tell me that they love this book. That it healed something in them. To write someone's fav book is an honor. It's BECAUSE readers told me how much they loved this book that I worked *very* hard to get it re-released ASAP after the original publisher shut down.

Truly honored to have received not one, but TWO awards during the Indie Ink Awards. This book released shortly after my mom was hospitalized. After she passed, @rainbowcrate.bsky.social reached out about a special edition. Readers reaching out, loving this book, got me through that intense grief.🧵

Book 73 of 2026, @smhallow.bsky.social's The Halls of the Dead What a delight! We've got Victorian-esque heretic necromancers rebuilding a repository of occult knowledge, soul eating, abusive ghosts, ghouldom, and a whole lot more. This is gonna make my best of the year list for sure.
