Thanks for being patient while enduring the wait! I have a re-stock of all new Mini-Altar kits available now in my shop!

A nice mix of burled maple and willamette walnut! Eight (8) total.

Each kit is a mini-altar, a wood support that slots in the top, and a object of mystery!

I don't like to burst bubbles, but this is from the Mar 1938 issue of WEIRD TALES, and was in a letter from Gertrude Hemken (1912-1992). Who was not a teenage girl, but one of the prolific letter-writers in WEIRD TALES during its initial run (1923-1954).

I miss the good old days of reading endless spooky stories every Halloween, so we interviewed Texas historians and ghost tour guides — and combed the internet — to round up the scariest ghost stories from across the state. Thanks to those of you who contributed!

I apparently made this photoshop 8 years ago. Why? I have no idea.

The famous image of Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald except Oswald has been replaced by a Porg from The Last Jedi. Yeah. I don't know why.

Serious question for anyone who has done it recently, how much does it cost (in total) to produce an audiobook?

Last night, I finished THE ESSENTIAL HORROR OF JOE R. LANSDALE, a new collection out this week from @TachyonPub.

What a great collection! Every single story was superb: engaging, skillfully told and a little bit weird. Lansdale is simply a masterful storyteller.

I'm a "glass is half-full" kinda guy, so let's look at the upside of the Riyadh Comedy Festival: We never, ever have to even pretend to take any of these "anti-woke" "free speech warriors" seriously, ever again.

I've really been enjoying whatever @newmadras.bsky.social puts out on Rascal, but esp this piece that describes the state of itch.io extremely eloquently. itch has issues, but its platform - and the service it provides - is extremely unique in today's age of technofeudalism

Rascal News @rascal.news · 5d

What do technofeudalism, Chinese restaurants, and struggling game platform itch.io have in common? @newmadras.bsky.social has some thoughts, especially about the "platform" part.

Itch.io isn’t like other platforms

It’s like a 3.5 star Chinese restaurant.
