My 9-yo and I wrote the cover story for Interzone #303, and we've created this handy synopsis using legos. Pictured: shark wearing a mech suit made of pirate shipwrecks, attacking a surfer on a chainsaw board. Oh, it gets weirder.

Not an educator, but if you personally want to get back into reading books, here's what helped me (thread)

Honestly bless any educator doing battle with modern-day attention spans

I think we’re really going to have to do a lot more of this. A massive deprogramming so that people can read more than ten words at a time without anxiety.

When @hazelzorn.bsky.social sold her coral eco-horror novella to @tenebrouspress.bsky.social I was so excited! I sponsored a baby coral for her🎉

Her book is cool (get it!).

Oh wow, I wasn't aware of the book! I'll definitely put it on my list-- something to look forward to. Thanks so much!

I finally watched Sorcerer last night. What a compelling and intense film. The bridge scene and the clearing of the downed tree have the feel of a dark fantasy quest without any whimsy.

This is one of my favorite pieces he did, because it implied that there was far more than a monster movie going on. It created a mythological, occult element to the aliens.
They shouldn't just be extraterrestrial beings or the result of experiments, they should've been something far worse.

Yeah, absolutely. It would be nice if something like a midlist still existed but it's probably not coming back. Who knows what will change in the future or whether I'll sink or swim. My dedication to the craft is the only thing I can control.
