Do you guys remember the dates your first book was released? As in, either think about it on the day, or celebrate or note it in some way the way you'd think about a birthday or anniversary?
Just wondering.

"There was a crack in the Lake House. The Marmonts had let the lake in, but the water could not flow."

I'm proud to debut my sophmore effort from @fangoria.bsky.social on ALAN WAKE 2 where I bridge the game's deeper thematic underpinnings with the philisophical theory of Hyperstition.

In ALAN WAKE 2, players are at times both creator and victim, exploring the concept of “Hyperstition” in a horrifying way, making this perfect for a Halloween season playthrough.

Me and my dad used to quote Palpatine lines from Return of the Jedi back and forth. I have a real fondness for that character’s portrayal… except in ep 9 which is a complete dogshit movie.

In Chicago I was at the corner of the cube and it was maybe my favorite concert experience ever. In CLE I had floor seats but it was like 7 rows back. Seemed like if you’re going to spring for seats, that row is the way to go

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.
