Instead of scaring your neighbors with fireworks this year, why not scare them the old fashioned way? Grow out your antlers and fangs, cultivate a thunderous beard of moss, haunt the night, and become a terrifying creature of legend and lore.

You don't have to wait until Halloween to dress up as a mummy. You can just do that now and wrap yourself in bandages and wander around and vomit swarms of scarabs on people. You don't need October for that. You can turn their blood to black ichor with fell magicks in July. You're an adult, it's ok.

I listened to this at 2am, in bed by myself with the house creaking whilst settling. I didn't sleep until half an hour after it ended. Sublime.

If you enjoy sand, going to the beach, or golf...you're going to LOVE this amazing Rom-Com! (disclosure: It's NOT a Rom-Com (like, AT ALL)) It's still a neat story, though!!

I had the privilege of reading both the short story that led to Sunbathers, and an early copy of the novella. It’s fabulous. Pick up a copy if you can! ☀️

Pride in the UK isn't just one month. It's usually from the start of May through to the end August. But I am in firm favour of July being Wrath Month. This definitely needs to become a universal thing.

Little things can have big impacts on your life. A single butterfly's wings can change weather half a world away. A little knowledge of dark magic can change all of your rivals into newts and ferns.

Do you love her or just the way her eyes bleed to black like wine on linen when the trembling thrum of dark magic emanates from the ancient tree you are gathered around, scarred deep with eldritch runes?

Always be your true self. If the timid townsfolk hide behind closed doors as you float past with your raggedy Muppet hair, a tattered cardigan, and wrapped in a gloom of your own making, so be it.

The year is 2029. Your shower auto-shuts off after 35 seconds; water is reserved for the Lies & Plagiarism Machine. You go outside into the heavy heat of winter, where six cops immediately beat you for appearing in public and send you to the processor farm. Rich people need your skin for new hats.

💙📚 It's Robert Aickman's birthday (BOTD in 1914)

If you haven't read his uniquely odd, strange #horror stories, full of nightmare-logic and weird ambiguities that unsettle, you should definitely check him out.

1) I suggest you only include pubs/authors that condemn/disavow the use of LLMs/AI

2) I made a List of horror pubs that do exactly that, which you are free to use, if you'd like:
