I’ve received my copy of Widow’s Point!! I’m so ready to start this beauty today. The dust cover is slightly textured 🤩 I think this is my fourth Chizmar novel~ It arrived wrapped in a sheet of other indie book recommendations, too, which is cool! I added the blurb in the first image ALT text!~
#👑🍒📙
Front cover of Richard Chizmar + W.H. Chizmar’s novel: “widow’s point, the_complete_haunting” center of cover has a distant, blurry lighthouse with a REC (recording) set up to show the photo as if in a black and white camcorder. Other text on the cover is a quote by Stephen King, whom the book is dedicated to. Quote reads “Creepy as hell and totally original, the perfect scary story for a dark and stormy night… as long as the lights don’t go out.”

BLURB BELOW:
“Longtime residents of Harper’s Cove believe that something is wrong with the Widow’s Point Lighthouse. Some say it’s cursed. Others claim it’s haunted. 
During its construction in 1838 three workers were killed, including one who mysteriously plunged to his death from the catwalk. That tragic accident was never explained, and it was just the beginning of the terror. In the decades that followed, nearly two dozen additional deaths occurred in or around the lighthouse, including cold-blooded murder, suicide, unexplained accidents and disappearances, the slaughter of an entire family, and the inexplicable death of a Hollywood starlet who was filming a movie on the grounds. 
The lighthouse was finally shuttered right in 1988 and a security fence was erected around the property. No one has been inside since. Until now. 
Told across two harrowing incidents from 2917 and 2025, those who enter the Widow’s Point Lighthouse searching for supernatural proof and the next big thing find themselves cut off from the outside world. And although no one has recently stepped foot inside the structure, they are not alone. 
In this remarkable collaboration, fathers-and-son writing team Richard and W.H Chizmar combine forces to tell a terrifying ghost story that will make you think twice about what’s waiting for you in the dark.” Title page of the novel itself, and beneath the title are the signatures of both authors. The signature reads ‘for [my real name] with best wishes!’ And it is dated for the day they signed (September 28 2025) I asked for the date specifically 🧡

love is insane you feel like you're always subtly asking "do you still love me even though i'm flawed" and the answer just keeps being yes

Been sleeping early and sleeping in much this week. Still tired. Work and other things drain me quickly. Hoping to get some more creativity flowing soon! I actually started something last night but it won’t be done for some time~ It’ll be worth the wait! Messy, but worth it!

March of the Pumpkinheads continues… day 9: Jack in detail.

Thank you, it is hard!! I think sleeping helped a lot in the beginning, napping when I had intense cravings etc~

Today is my one year of no nicotine! Admittedly I had a few slips, but I never fell down the slope to fully picking it up again and buying a new vape! In the words of London Tipton: Yay me!

Whenever drink makers add just the right amount of everything in my vanilla-pumpkin-caramel drizzle frozen drink, it tastes exactly how the store my mom and I used to go to that sold candles and small figurines and "angel mints" smelt. It is EXACT. Other times it just tastes like pumpkin ice cream.

My yellow fabric gnome-ish hat and yellow lined nurse cape were absolutely worn to watch OtHW btw. I had a yellow Wirt fit, rather than red. (I do have a red lined cape but not a red hat….yet)

Please indulge this spooky season and watch OtGW for the first time, as I did. I can’t believe it took me so long to watch…
Poster for the animated series Over the Garden Wall. Wirt, a teenage boy, is dressed in a red dunce cap and a red lined nurse cape. Greg, a young boy, runs beside Wirt while talking to his frog (whose name changes a lot) and wearing an upside down teapot on his head. They are in the woods, with a bluebird above them. Wirt seems on edge. 
Text reads OVWR THE GARDEN WALL 2014
Genre: dark adventure fantasy
Directed by: Patrick McHale
Produced by: Pernelle Hayes
Starring: Elijah Wood, Collin Dean and Melanie Lynskey Wirt leading Greg, the frog and bird into an old-style town.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 189:
There are many different ways to be a writer. Being a professional writer is only one of them. All are valid.

Happy National Poetry Day to all those who celebrate.

This year’s theme is ‘play’ so here’s a poem which plays with some letters. It’s called ‘The Problem of Writing Poems in the Shape of Deciduous Trees’.
The Problem of Writing Poems 
in the Shape of Deciduous Trees

[The poem has been written in the shape of a deciduous tree with letters (or ‘leaves’) missing from the text]:
 
a comm n
pr ble  whe  writin
p ems in the shape of decid o s 
trees is t at once t ere ar ives the fir t
sti rings of  he new aut mn breeze,  he 
 oems will begi  to shake  hemselves
 ge tly  ntil their letters loos n
d 
like leaves, an   
they 
start                                    
to 
float 
down
then

[The missing letters from the tree have landed on the last line to form the phrase]

[The final ‘d’ is floating down to complete the phrase.]

I finished this beautiful story yesterday and I don't think I ever have or will read something like this again (unless HS2 is green-lit!!) ((crossing my fingers)) I adored the characters and the art is stunning. If you can, you should treat yourself to Hello Sunshine this spooky season.

Cover of Hello Sunshine featuring Alex laying in a red flowers with blue eyes. red hands reach up from the ground to touch him. In the background the other four kids and Cass the dog stand side by side in a line in a field of daisies. Text on the cover reads "Hello Sunshine - Alex is missing, but is he really gone?"

Guys if you're seeing this take it as a sign to redraw vintage pin-ups and pulp art with your OCs and favorite characters bc you don't know true joy untill you do
basementheist.bsky.social
I've been considering it heavily ever since I saw you mention it tbh~

My partner and I finished the Catching Fire audiobook (2/3 of The Hunger Games) and I’m so excited to have him know the whole story. I can show him the movies and the memes and we can talk about it all with a mutual understanding at long last 😭😭
