brunch

an over-toasted bread, browned crisp at the edges, spread thick with butter and strawberry jam

a coffee, piping hot, black, a drip of honey

a book in hand, reads like the poet’s lived a thousand lives

Our Lord, the Flayed one told me to say: sleep tight, don’t let the bed worms bite. We’re coming for your skin in the morn. Night, night. 🖤🪱

Some days, she is a maelstrom. (all chaos and aging disgracefully)

She crushes your skull, ripe as a watermelon, between her thighs, forces its eyes out of the holes in streams, like froth, like whipping cream.

A.L. Garcia @almaandthehorde.bsky.social · Jul 31

Some days, she is the cradle. (all lullaby and sainted grave, sepulcher)

She rocks you in her voluptuous breasts and smothers you into submission, salt, sea, and sweat dripping from the corners of your eyes.

“Disturbing”

“I couldn’t eat after reading it”

“Truly horrific”

“Crawls beneath your skin”

“The cabin scene…”

“I’m going to throw up”

Hinterland, my debut horror novel, is making people sick to their stomachs. As intended 😏

Just saw an ad that said, when recession hits and the markets shrink, smart businesses don’t shrink, they automate — promotion for a-eye — disgusting. Anyway, good morning humans and this poet loves you.

Also my toxic trait is reading/listening to and nodding along with the takes on the “invite me in” thing knowing full and gd well I’m going to torment everyone with it.

Also wanted to say, the success of and general reception of films like Sinners and Nosferatu is truly giving me hope for art and humanity. Vampire movies truly always save us but also and still and always #teamvampire (now, invite me in) 💀🪦🥀
