Well now that you've said that, I'm pretty sure I have no choice. πŸ˜‚
#Bookmail today! My preorder of @michaelwehunt.bsky.social's "The October Film Haunt" came in from Little Shop of Stories, and I'm so excited to #read this during October. Thank you for the personalization, Michael! ☺️

I #read "Transcribing Moonlight" by Skylar Kay. I was so moved by it. A most intimate collection, it encapsulates the facets of being a trans woman from a uniquely personal experience. Pick this book up if you want to see through new eyes.

Samantha's review of Transcribing Moonlight
5/5: I met Skylar Kay in passing at a few poetry events in Calgary. Eventually we actually spoke to each other and I started to learn more about her, including that she wrote a collection of haibun ca...

I #read "My Soft Response to the Wars" by RC Weslowski. A wonderful #collection of #poetry that will make you feel the full spectrum of emotions. Hilarity wrapped up with everything else, much like it is in life.
I wrote a poem as my ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #review. Read it here: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Samantha's review of My Soft Response to the Wars
5/5: I got to see RC Weslowski perform at the Calgary Poetry Slam on August 11th, 2025. It was dynamic, hilarious, and heartfelt. It felt like he filled those special moments with his vivid lifeforce,...

I #read "The Other Passenger" by John Keir Cross. I think he and I would have hung out and discussed body horror at length if we had lived at the same time. A fine collection of eerie tales.

My ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #review is now available on GoodReads: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Samantha's review of The Other Passenger
4/5: I found a little piece of myself in John Keir Cross' writing. Some parts were a bit slow for me (probably because it is written in the early 1900s), but it also has a surprisingly modern tone tha...

Really cool. I'll certainly be thinking about the multitudes that make us all up with a little more appreciation.

Art sure is something, isn't it?

I felt myself tearing up at the scene where Chuck danced to the drums; it was such a charged moment, rife with gratitude and a real sense of what it's like to be alive, be present, be wonderful. Cont'd
I just #watched "The Life of Chuck" #movie for the first time. I absolutely loved it. I think @mikeflanaganfilm.com captured the essential beauty that @stephenking.bsky.social puts into his work so well. Cont'd
I'd venture a guess that it's the opposite of a "Honey Do" list, even though I absolutely cringe at that too. πŸ˜‚

Anyway, was it a good movie? I do like the cast (and director)!
Awesome!! Adding it to my list 😁
Please report back your findings, good sir! πŸ˜€
@sgj.bsky.social is in my city this weekend and I just want to take him around and buy him good food and talk about slashers. πŸ₯°πŸ–€

P.S. I'm dead serious! DM me on Instagram if you are willing! I know you've just got breakfast plans tomorrow. 😁
I #watched "Sinners" the other night and I've got to say, that was a lot of fun. I haven't seen anything like it. Music was fantastic, ominous undercurrents made me feel like I was in danger, which was awesome. Great acting, incredible music, satisfying #horror. I loved the hell out of it.
I #watched "Presence" last night. The whole movie is from the perspective of a Presence in the house, watching the occupants. It was super eerie, melancholic, and I truly enjoyed this point of view. It made me feel like a ghost. I'd give this a 3.5/5 ⭐ rating.

Biggest congratulations, @craigwallwork.bsky.social! So exciting - you rock!! πŸ–€
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: New Author Signing!⁠
⁠
Author of BAD PEOPLE and HUMAN TENDERLOIN Craig Wallwork's THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL TO BEING A VAMPIRE, submitted to Truborn Press, for publication in the Spring of 2026.⁠
⁠
Welcome to our weird Truborn family @craigwallwork.bsky.social
It certainly was! These guys are killing it with their movies. 😁
I #watched "Bring Her Back" tonight. The Philippou brothers have done it again. "Talk To Me" was one of my favourite movies of the decade, and this one is an easy second. These horror movies make me afraid to go to sleep without the lights on, and manage to make me cry because they're so emotional.
I wanna see what your insides look like! πŸ”ͺ

*ahem* with that out of the way I'm glad you don't need surgery and I wish you speedy healing!
Man, I'm so thrilled that I got to see Amigo the Devil live today at the Calgary Stampede! What an a wicked show. After, Danny was signing stuff beside the stage & I was lucky enough to thank him for his awesomeness, shake his hand, & my fiancΓ© got his cowboy hat signed! Bucket list item checked. βœ…
I #read "Victorian Psycho" by #VirginiaFeito in quick fashion. A Cutting, hilarious, and female-forward #horror #book. Thank you @paultremblay.bsky.social and Virginia Feito for inspiring me to read this after the Zoom meeting promoting it!
Here is my ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
I just #watched "The Ugly Stepsister" on #Shudder for the first time. It's Norwegian, so there are subtitles, and it was SO good and SO effing gross! An amazing take on the Cinderella fairy tale. Definitely check it out. WOAH.

I watched "Final Destination: Bloodlines," I really enjoyed it! Some things were over the top, it was funnier than the rest I think, but the gore and anticipation were all great. Tony Todd's last appearance, gah, I'm missing that guy! Hope I can follow his suggestion and live life to the fullest. πŸ’œ
