πŸ“š August 2025 Reads πŸ“š

Work was super busy this month, so I didn’t get through as many books as usual, but what I did read was fantabulous!

5 ⭐️

πŸ‚ The Good House by Tananarive Due πŸ‚

πŸŽ₯ Black Flame by Gretchen Felker-Martin πŸŽ₯

Both very creepy, strange, and horrific πŸ₯€

Sooo good!

We can win.
The last 10 months have been horrifying. But we didn't give up. We didn't cower.
Tomorrow there is still so much work to do but we got this.
Tonight celebrate our wins big and small.
Hold onto the hope you're feeling right now & roll up your sleeves!

WE FUCKING GOT THIS

If you ever need a second pair of eyes on that substack email, or a beta reader who will give honest, thorough, and kind feedback, or a sensitivity reader who knows all books can benefit from sensitivity reads, I hope you’ll consider booking with me β™₯️ forms.gle/2HWY6s2YhNYb...

Phew managed to make it another day without getting a nazi tattoo. It’s hard out here. Just nazi tattoos roaming the streets attaching themselves to people. Stay woke

My heart is swelling at the show of community today! I can hear the chanting, yelling, horns honking from my new balcony and see soooo many people marching down the street just a couple of blocks away. I’m moving today, otherwise I’d be there joining in!

I didn’t grow up reading books and live a life as an avid reader just to not do anything today at 49 years old. I'll be in my State's capitol with fellow Americans and then to a library event celebrating HORROR! πŸ“šβœŠπŸš«πŸ‘‘

It's cool and sexy to read books and hate fascism.

Gee, I wonder why people went from calling me a queer horror author to a cosmic horror author.

The fun part is how few were on purpose (Worm trilogy + Game in Yellow) vs how much is cosmic by accident because I'm a weirdo (the rest of it πŸ˜…)

Nonetheless, make horror gay AF 🌈 including cosmic horror
