Let's get wrecked on Reese cups and Dr. Pepper and argue about our favorite portrayal of Lucifer by an actor/actress.

Summer-loving people must be the most misanthropic group because nobody will just let it be summer. June? SUMMERWEEN! July? STILL...SOMEHOW SUMMERWEEN! August? AUGTOBER! Don't get me wrong, as a bystander, this is hilarious to watch, but an obnoxious summertime reckoning is coming.

Why do I feel like I'm expected to apologize to the spider I didn't know was living in my drain? I turn on the water and the thing runs out and stares me down like I ruined Christmas...

I accidentally let myself slip into full HANGRY at a super busy shopping plaza, and then I got stuck behind a city bus, and then my cat puked all over the one carpeted room in my freaking house. Anyway, I ate 11 tacos and now I feel better.

Shave my legs to make someone else happy? Um, no. I shave them because I get DRUNK off of the feeling of sliding into crisp, clean bedsheets with shaved, sugar scrubbed, moisturized legs. The opinions of others does not factor into that particular ecstasy.

The thing about living with cats, is that they will see you minding your own business, enjoying a snack, and think to themselves, "I can enhance my person's experience by sitting really, really close to them and licking my asshole for 20 minutes."

Apologies to the neighborhood dogs for the prolonged, terrified squeal I just unleashed because I was editing with headphones on and my husband thought it would be cute to sneak up and put his big head by my face. We're all deaf now. I'm truly sorry.

Sometimes I read the comments section on my local news groups and check put the personal pages of the angry, uninformed commenters to see if maybe I'm being too quick to dismiss such people. Nope. These people boil Brussles sprouts to death and proudly post pictures of them online. They're monsters.

I woke up this morning freaked out from a dream where my house was infested with spiders that growled and wore coke cans as armor. So, just in case you thought my brain was anything other than a dilapidated county fair, that's what's up.

Horror is a transgressive, punk rock genre that is at times VERY political. And a large component of our audience and community is very, very queer. You don't have to share our politics to enjoy horror, but you sure as shit should share the ideals that everyone has a right to exist if you make it.

Allow me to disgust you: I'm a carb queen in every situation in life except for one. I don't like croutons on my salad. They're fucking impossible to eat with a fork and I'm just trying to hork down my veggies, man. Like a real adult.

#kindle deals are (finally) here! Nothing over $2.99 w/ works by @kozeniewski.bsky.social, @timlebbon.bsky.social, @marysangiovanni.bsky.social, @somercanon.bsky.social, @rebecca-rowland.bsky.social, @davidnickle.bsky.social, @joshmalerman.bsky.social, & more! #books #ad #bookdeals amzn.to/3wZhypJ
Book cover for STRANGE NEW MOONS. The title is on the top half in red, with "Pack Leaders: Dobbs/Kozeniewski" is in red on the bottom. In the middle is a wolf howling...but it's more than a wolf. It looks like it's been modified with steel. A WOLFBOT.Book cvoer for David Nickle's THE 'GEISTERS. Good lord, I don't know where to start. The bottom of the book contains the title and author's name. There's a picture of three (or more) people conjoined like they are playing the most f'd up game of twister EVER. Overlaying them are drawings of creepy ass insects. There's a lot going on here, and it's wonderful.Book cover for Ania Ahlborn's THE PRETTY ONES. The title takes up the top half or so, in red against an orange wall. There is half of a green type writer on a dark orangish desk, and a stack of blank paper to its right. The paper in the typewriter has blood splatter on it. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT HERE. Book cover for Josh Malerman's INCIDENTS AROUND THE HOUSE. The title and author's name take up most of the cover, but there's a silhouette of what appears to be a stuffed bunny rabbit in the middle. Pretty sure that rabbit is up to no good.

Generally, I enjoy being an anonymous citizen, but if I ever make the headlines, it will 100% be because I started a huge brawl at Aldi because some jackwagon decided a slow stroll in the middle of the aisle was a good way to grocery shop in a crowded store.

You learn things about yourself while deep cleaning your refrigerator. For instance, it would appear that I have a deep-seated fear of being saddled with less than 4 different kinds of salad dressings. I also had a jar of banana pepper rings that expired 12 years ago.
