"In the Hills, the Cities" by by Clive Barker. No link but really I could fill this list with Barker, and I think this one is his weirdest (ie: best). Two cities engage in ritual combat and the scale is absolutely existential, the violence incomprehensible in its scale, when one of those cities dies

I had the very great pleasure of meeting the very great Jane Goodall at a museum event many years ago — where she graciously signed a book for my sister, an environmental biologist. A superb human being in every sense: generous, thoughtful, and inspiring.

Also it’s funny that people chalk up the Jack sobriety timeline being off to the hotel warping time or whatever. Have you ever heard of lying

Also, hey, also. Would y'all want to do maybe a book club? Maybe a readalong? Give me your thoughts. Give me your hearts. Give me your listening ears. If you don't I'll get really sad and messed up about it so get to sharing your thoughts.

@fern-on-here.bsky.social and I have, admittedly, been planning this one for a bit, but, ya know, shit happens. Excited to hit I think our first one where both halves were both a book and film? and were both released within a few years of one another.
