Horror is my happy place. If you're a fan of good books featuring strong women, all kinds of thrills and chills, and stories told with lots of heart, it can be your happy place too! Won't you join me? #booksky

I think it's really unfair that the only person who can really get me back on track is me. I'm the one who went off roading in the first place!

Don't you think a Victorian gothic ghost story would be a great addition to the recent lineup of successful gothic period pieces like Frankenstein and Nosferatu? Something about a woman tossing aside societal standards for independence? In a remote seaside manor? With two giant dogs??? Yeah, me too.

I spent the last few days being a sick couch potato and binging the new Taiwanese drama, Had I Not Seen the Sun. Sooo good, but so annoyed Netflix cut it into two parts (part 2 releases in December). Ep 7 onward gets very heavy/potentially triggering, so check warnings before watching if interested!

There's a reason I published The Haunting of Wounded Birds on 11th November. For this is the feast day of Martinmas, or old Halloween, a time when autumn is waning and dark winter days are ahead. (continued)

I've never been one to share my marital woes, but...tonight, I went to The Mister with a simple request. Trade lungs. He not only refused, he LAUGHED at me. All I asked for was his lungs and he LAUGHED. My biggest dream is to breathe normally again and he CRUSHED it. How can I move past this? 😭

Q1 has arrived. It's international men's day today, and I thought actually that's a good topic. Not the easiest one to build questions around, either. So if I do not hit the mark I am sure you will forgive me.
As usual, no links, no pitches, not till the end.
