Causal Nominated for the Philip K. Dick Award: I’m a bit Flabbergasted
I woke up this morning to some exciting news: Casual has been nominated for the Philip K. Dick Award. What followed was a few hours of shock and excitement and a whole lot of not working at work. (Sorry, I'll make up for it). Followed by a lot of anxious "how do I say thank you to people for showing their support and excitement about this?" I decided I'd write a little blog to say thank you to everyone who posted encouragement about the nomination.

I read two books over the weekend and enjoyed both a lot:

Moonflow by @bitterkarella.bsky.social is a delirious delight and so gross (complimentary)

The Night Ship by @alexwoodroe.com is a deeply strange tale of 1980s apocalypse and life under fascism (plus weird tendrils)

The book that I mentioned on QAA by @alexwoodroe.com is Whisperwood. I can't recommend it enough. It's a solid piece of folk horror, a kind of Romanian Witcher. Alex even has a new book, The Night Ship, out next week. You can follow her here: alexwoodroe.com

4.5/5⭐

A unique end-of-the-world setting in 80s East Bloc Romania as the world literally disappears out from underneath their feet (and wheels!)... eerie and terrifying...

So living with my parents abruptly became unsafe (mentally/emotionally) and I'm leaving ASAP. I have somewhere to go, but it's out of state. I'm packing now but I have to register my car before I go and that's $500. Anything helps. 🫀

Just finished THE NIGHT SHIP by @alexwoodroe.com (out 1/20/26). 5/5⭐️. I don’t want to give away too much, but it gave me feelings of Stranger Things, The Last of Us, and The Thing at different times. Also, pretty righteous nautical horror feel despite there not being an actual boat. Sequel, please.

New Year, New Terrors inbound!

February brings @kristalstittle.bsky.social's KAYAK, whose DNA can be traced to the classic survival novel HATCHET as well as A QUIET PLACE & THE WALKING DEAD, but spun into a unique, impossibly tense alien invasion sci-horror.
