So glad to hear this anthology is still spreading seasonal cheer
I realize I'm a bit late to this party, but I am having such a blast reading this one. The stories are different and fun (and include some of my favorites @sgj.bsky.social and @almakatsu.bsky.social.) Reading one of these stories at the end of the day has made the "dark at 4:30" thing tolerable.

Revisions--done! Sometimes you just have to get in there with sharp instruments, grit your teeth and do it.
A brief respite and then it's on to revisions for book #2

When on deadline to turn in a manuscript, you get weird impulses like eating an entire sleeve of cookies or, in my case, wanting to buy a potholder-making kit

Looks delicious!
Beervent Day 6: Darker
Succession + paranormal horror = FIEND, a deliciously sharp novel by the excellent @almakatsu.bsky.social, one of the best working today in *many* genres.
Pair with mystery beer 6, Founders Porter, one of my favorites in the style.

Getting to the bottom of revisions for INCARNATE. It's more mental adjustment than heavy lifting. That means ferreting out all the places were a tiny adjustment is needed. Now looking at the very end to see if the resolution still works.

Watched SALTBURN last night at urging of @sadiehartmann.bsky.social. I know, what took me so long? The most interesting part to me is that it's a 21st century retelling of Brideshead Revisited. Now, I was besotted w/the TV series when it came out in 1981. Completely besotted...

Someone really knows the story
Ain’t no party like a Donner party cause a Donner party don’t stop til most of them are dead and the most hated cannibalistic survivor ends up opening a hotel and restaurant in Sacramento because I guess he really knows how to cook meat.
Donner sure knew how to party.

Next year will be different.
