The Suitable Surroundings is a fantastic, classic, piece of horror. The Resurrection of Chilton Hills is more subtle. You might wonder if it’s even horror at all. But, really, is there anything more terrifying than being so busy you can’t stop? The residents of Chilton Hills didn’t think so…

Oct 8th 1984 - After catching their first ghost at the Sedgewick Hotel, business quickly picks up for the Ghostbusters with more paranormal sightings. On Oct 8th they were featured on the front page of USA Today.

📽️📅 Ghostbusters (1984)

3 Screenshots from the movie "Ghostbusters" (1984): First, the Ghostbusters, wearing their iconic uniforms with proton packs, stand in a lavish hotel interior, engaging in a serious discussion with a man in a suit. Second, a woman with curly hair sits in a living room, watching a news broadcast about the Ghostbusters on an old-fashioned TV, with a cityscape visible through the window blinds. Third, a newspaper headline "Ghost Fever Grips New York" features an image of the Ghostbusters team.

As today is World Octopus Day I’ll again mention that a Spanish equivalent to “like a fish out of water” is como un pulpo en un garaje. It means “like an octopus in a garage.”

Great piece: "Anything can be rejected, and for any reason, and there is pretty much nothing you can do about it. Certain rationales for rejection are forever beyond your control."

Yes! I have to send out a lot of rejections and there are So Many reasons, and none of them are personal. Keep going!

As a writer, I have been rejected thousands of times, and it initially led to shock, denial and anger. Then I accepted it. Here’s what you can gain from doing so too

Random shout out:
"The Old Lady" by Eleanor Scott (vintage tale on Pseudopod: 1929) read by writer/ed/VOA Kat Day; a fun tale managing to be very traditional (old manor house, Oxford students, creepy families) w/ some freshness. Some, I think, via the female POV. 1/5
