A Discworld message for the rest of us, this Party Conference season
Josh Kirby's illustration of Terry Pratchett's Discworld: Great A'Tuin the star turtle, floating through space with 4 elephants on his back, that are in turn supporting the flat, disc-shaped Discworld 

Caption reads:
Read Discworld.
Because cunts are still running this one.

Was going to lie low for a bit in regards to buying new books, but leave it to @subpress.bsky.social to make that impossible with @midworldpress.bsky.social ‘s signed edition of one of my favorite short story collections of recent years. Just look at it! 😍

subterraneanpress.com/ballingrud-t...
The signed and numbered Mid-World press edition of The Atlas Of Hell by Nathan Ballingrud.

Glad you were able to get one! It looks amazing.
I completely missed it when Mid-World put it up! Glad I’m getting another chance because I sure would have been devastated if I missed out. I love this collection so much!

Boy’s Life by Robert McCammon

Brendan Deneen's coming in hot with some real "Let me speak to your manager" energy this morning with an email to FanFiAddict head honcho over my "particularly (and unnecessarily) nasty review" to let us know that Booklist gave him a starred review.

My thoughts? See fanfiaddict.com/review-trace...

Preordering this, and so should you. I’ve read a lot of bad hyped up books the last few weeks, with a record number of DNF’s for me, but I’m 100% certain that’s not going to happen here because everything Greg Gifune writes is always a gem.

Have you preordered PACK ANIMALS yet? Order your paperback or eBook now wherever you get your books.

I hear Black House doesn’t hide its Dark Tower connections. Talisman felt like a whole bunch of early Dark Tower ideas and concepts done badly. I actually read Black House 24 years ago and don’t remember a damn thing about it. Not sure if that bodes well.

I liked the character Wolf, but that’s about it. Took me a month to get through this book, and I wish I could get that month back.

“The first sin was believing we would never die.” On the Savage Side started with the hardcover. But the story continues October 14th in paperback from @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social If you have read the book already, you’ll know why I carved the spider and web in the pumpkin…

Good afternoon! About halfway through The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang and at the very end of my reread of The Talisman by King & Straub. Also reading old Hellblazer comics by Jamie Delano.

Halloween is up a bit later than usual here at my house, but better late than never. Favorite holiday, favorite time of the year. 🎃🎃🎃

#Halloween
Front window filled with glowing Jack-o-lanterns, and a scary set of pumpkin headed twins. 12 foot tall skeleton in my front yard. 12 foot tall pumpkin headed plant creature with a flaming chest, standing in my front yard. 2 child sized ghosts, hanging out in my front yard.
