On this Halloween, a reminder that a sculptor included a Xenomorph gargoyle during the 1990s restoration of Paisley Abbey

I like to think LInus grew up to be TV's Frank.

If the sole purpose of Halloween was so that It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown could exist, that alone would make the whole endeavor worthwhile.

Young people are so frugal. So many hang out with friends at home, playing cards and stuff.

If you just banked that coffee money every week and denied yourself every other instance of life’s gastronomic pleasures, however small and ordinary, you could save enough to make the down payment on that starter house in [checks notes] five hundred and seventy three years

“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

Why are young people spending so much money?

Illustration of death visiting a home. Death holding scythe, ringing a doorbell and labeled "me trying to talk about ghosts" there is a man sneaking away looking to see if death notices and labeled "normal people"

Halloween is almost here 🖤🍷🩸

Illustration by Abigail Larson for "The Horror Tarot" depicting a seance scene in tones of red. Hands rest on a planchette hovering over a Ouija board. There's a red curtain backdrop, and a vintage brass lamp with a red glass shade lights the scene. Small candles and a red glass water pitcher and goblet are arranged on the table.

An illustration by Abigail Larson from "The Horror Tarot" depicting someone fast asleep in a large green antique bed while goblins with glowing yellow eyes and shadowy hands creep out from the darkness unnoticed.

Illustration for the Horror Tarot of the Queen of Cups card showing a vampire in a Victorian dress drinking blood from a goblet.

This illustration is from "The Horror Tarot" deck published by Insight Editions and illustrated by Abigail Larson. Illustration is a stylized version of "the chariot" tarot card depicting a black horse-drawn carriage approaching an ominously glowing cliff. The horse is rears at the edge of the deep red precipice. The background shows a large tree obscured by thick mist.

Holly wants you to know that bats can eat up to 1,000 mosquitoes in one night. Especially if they taste like milk bones.

Holly the therapy dog, mostly black with a white chest, poses in a bat costume with an orange bowl of candy while volunteering to greet kids at an afterschool program’s Halloween festival.

I flew Virgin Atlantic to London in 2000, and after a lovely dinner with a full carafe sized bottle of wine, they came by with full sized Haagen Das ice cream bars and poured us Baileys.

We went to the season opener in Buffalo, and I kept reading the names of the players showing on the Sabres fancy, new scoreboard, and my husband kept asking, "Who?"

I am required to show off this spectacular cover (artist: Juan Bernabeu) for my near future political novelette coming on @reactorsff.bsky.social on Nov 5.

An older medic with scant resources fights to support her community as they survive life behind the company wall.

Barnacle, Kate Elliott. Washed up on a beach, a big cluster of barnacles holds together while crows flock down from the sky, trying to pry them loose from each other. A truly stunning image by Juan Bernabeu.

The original Wicker Man is fantastic. Christopher Lee is in it, and he considered the role, Lord Summerisle, his favorite of all time. He also did it free of charge. #FrightClub

I am reminded of this:

thehardtimes.net/blog/we-aske...

We Asked John Mellencamp What "Suckin on Chili Dogs" Means but Instead He Showed Us and It Was so Disturbing We Haven't Slept in Days

There is no way to tell John Mellencamp’s story without telling my own. And if his story is really a confession of sucking on chili dogs, then so is mine.
