I have lived east and west and while the west coast mountains will kill you through indifference to humanity, they are brash young mountains. The Appalachians are the home of things whose names humanity has never known, and they resent us as newcomers and take us down into the dark when they can.

I highly recommend that everyone follow artists. If you do, your feed is filled with art every day. Real, original art. It's bonkers that you can even have this. Amazing. Undeniably cool. And then support those artists, when you can, because that helps the delight continue.

Shintaro Kago works in a genre called Ero-guro nansensu (Erotic/Grotesque Nonsense) which plays with the obscene and offensive for the pure joy of it. In an era where they are trying to police our morals, wouldn't it be great to give comics' highest award to the most offensive work nominated?

Everything is either unbelievably terrible or breathtakingly transcendent right now. A perfect time for episode four of Goths! This one features a very special guest.
Four panel comic of crows talking while a woman in a black dress talks to them. 

The title of this episode of Goths is “The Poser”

Flying crow: it’s the lady who gives us peanuts 
Woman: hi, friends!

Crows on the ground eating peanuts: “I guess she’s okay. But the way she’s biting our style? The black clothes?”

“I like her.”

“It just seems like she’s trying too hard. “

Crow with mouth stuffed with peanuts: “mfk hwm mmny”

Woman: “bye friends!”

Crow: “its’s sad, really.”

On February 28th, the prologue for Under the Furious Sun will be sent out to newsletter subscribers! Interested in apocalyptic dark adventure fantasy with a side of spice? Here ya go. #CuPit #WriteSky #fantasy #apocalyptic #books #BookSky #reading Sign up here: stats.sender.net/forms/av2k18...
There is Rustrock and Lava Town, and there is nothing and no one else. Not for many miles, unless you consider the countless  ruins and the deadly and diseased creatures that infest them,  or the occasional peddler coming to deliver tales of distant civilizations. But here and now, there is only Rustrock and Lava Town. It would be best if they got along. They do not.

  The Queen, the active volcano that Lava Town takes its nickname from, looks out over all of them.  The seasons are harsh. Cass may not have been born in Rustrock, but her loyalty to it is absolute. If she can prove herself by helping the struggling town survive, perhaps she can even earn the reputation that the rumors of her origin give her. But Lava Town's flock of flying marauders seem to be there to thwart Rustrock at every turn, and her secret connection to their leader only complicates things. When mysterious strangers from the north turn up, however, it may be a grand opportunity or an omen of worse things to come.
