Does crocheting multiple Cthulhu stuffies feel like an act of devotion toward The Great Old One? Kinda. A little bit.

I'm not entirely sure what this means, but I suddenly feel like everything I've been led to believe is wrong.

A six of clubs reads: Radiation Exposure ; Exposure to gamma radiation DOES NOT cause contamination!

4/5 undead seals in tutus agree! Kevin The Vampire is a delightful romp!

A greenish crocheted seal in a red tutu on a shelf gazes at the pages of Will Madden's novelette, Kevin The Vampire. On the cover, Kevin is a silhouette sitting on a church altar with spikey hair, visible fangs, and colorful nail polish. He wears knit socks with brightly colored stripes. A stained glass window behind him has an argyle pattern.

Is there literally nothing so bad they won't publish an article telling you actually it was good?

"Anakin and Padme's awkward love story is the best part of the Star Wars prequels"

You ever get the feeling that all Calder is trying to do is explain some of the more convoluted cases of thesis, antithesis and synthesis?

What's better than a Free Churro? Nine free churros! Today is the ninth book birthday of The Killbug Eulogies!

Cover of 2017's The Killbug Eulogies by Will Madden. Broken human bodies, insect parts, and retro sci-fi military gear.

"Why would anyone be killed?" "Because you call it a frolic. Frolic means killing, does it not?" "No. Frolic means play." "I do not understand," said Sledge. "You have said, 'Frolic does not mean to kill, it means to kill.' The translator must error." But of course there was no error. In the language of the slaw locust, "kill" and "play" were the same word.

When I think back on all the people I've known, saints and bastards both, that murdering shit eater stands out the most warmly.

This, apparently, is the shape your body takes when startled by a divine presence.

What if you were writing to someone and "Crocodile on the Roof" was a letter?

This is Zeus and Hera. Thunderbolts used to be represented as a fist full of weird dicks.

When I die, please bury me in a sarcophagus covered in babies who look incredibly guilty about the shit they are stealing.

My partner and I argued about what this strange animal on a porcelain cup might be in a painting I saw at the museum. We've narrowed it down to a deer or a flamingo.
