Hi! I'm Alan, a horror writer from Tasmania. Talking Scared podcast called me "The Lord of Weird Australia" which I've always liked. This is Horror called me, "Australia's master of literary darkness." I like that too! The graphic below shows all my stuff. Learn more here: alanbaxter.com.au

A graphic showing all my book covers and how they interlink (where they do).

I've only read Between Two Fires by Buehlman and that was fantastic.

Mr Laos. Just when you though this year was a bit quiet on the insanely huge, bedazzled, symbolic costumes along comes Mr Laos and blows everyone else out of the water. This is insane, but it's also *so* good.

I want to make it perfectly clear I've got nothing against TRON: ARES. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

But what I want most is for the younger generations to love going to the movies, which means we need more movies for them. Not every movie needs to be for 50 year old white guys.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

The inflatable frog resistance is a stroke of genius really. Co-opting their own lame memes against them and making ridicule of their nazi tactics with it. Inspired.

antifa can usually be recognised quite easily - just check if they're an irredeemable cunt or not. if they're not, they're most likely anti fascism

okay I would NEVER have realised that was supposed to be a paw if you hadn't said so

🌈Dr. Franken Frizzle 🎃 @swilua.bsky.social · 1d

this was on my wife’s timeline and she said to me, how long did it take you to realize it was a paw? and I said it is what

A FB post about a new tattoo that has a hand reading for a paw but the paw just straight up looks like a penis idk
