There is power in imposing an ending, even an arbitrary one. Things don't properly "end" in real life, they just flow into the next thing, but we are storytelling animals. We need things to end so we can begin something new.

Happy New Year’s Eve everyone!

I surpassed my reading goal this year! It was a lot to do in between work, my PhD, and the state of the world as a whole, but I’m glad I took the time to try out new and exciting books and authors!

Wishing everyone a wonderful New Year!

October may be over but horror is a state of mind that lasts all year long. Pick up my lore-heavy vampire novels, LETIFER and SKIAMAKHIA to keep the bad times rolling as the weather gets colder and the nights longer!

October may be over but horror is a state of mind that lasts all year long. Pick up my lore-heavy vampire novels, LETIFER and SKIAMAKHIA to keep the bad times rolling as the weather gets colder and the nights longer! LETIFER is a 500 page vampire crime thriller exploring the unlikely partnership of a Detroit beat cop and a vampire investigator teaming up to take down a supernatural serial killer loose in the city. For fans of slow burn romance, short king tops, big buff emo bottoms, and snappy dialogue, you'll adore this dark, grungy read well into the night. SKIAMAKHIA is a treat for fans of Vampire: the Masquerade, toxic family dynamics, NBC Hannibal dialogue, and relationships built on foundations more competency-based than romantic. A transmasc CEO has worked hard to build a company based on longevity amidst the short half-lifes of the other dot com companies around him, and diligence like that attracts attention. Corporate takeovers are the least of his worries as he learns just what lies in wait beyond the firelight in a 90s era Detroit. Both titles serve as standalones in The Dark Vagaries, an expansive universe growing by the hour. For the best experience, read them together for a deeper understanding of the machinations at play. You can check out these and other titles at https://www.tdcloudofficial.com

I Was a Teenage Slasher, 50%: I truly wish I'd discovered Stephen Graham Jones sooner. His writing is a hoot! This book is another fantastic tale, rooted in the slasher genre, but so creative and thoughtful. And fun, in a dark, slasher sort of way. #horror #StephenGrahamJones

Going into November with some solid hopes that I can get through a THR successfully lol. I have a long list of things I own but haven’t read, and I’m trying to work my way through the month without buying (too many) new books.

#booksky #tbr #NovemberReads
The title of the image says “November TBR”. The image has book covers for 6 different books. The books in order from top left to bottom right are: In Memoriam, Monstrilio, The Lamb, How to be Eaten, Moon of the Crusted Snow, Fate’s Bane.

Tor Nightfire does Stephen Graham Jones readers a solid, releasing a freshly designed edition of his novella NIGHT OF THE MANNEQUINS on Feb 24! The trouble starts where I suspect a lot of @sgj.bsky.social's best trouble does: at the movies🍿 Preorder now! bookshop.org/p/books/nigh...

I miss traditional watercoloring.
I want to be in the same headspace I was when I was casually creating artworks like these.
These are all #OC's

Traditional watercolor artwork. Two men share a gentle kiss. Traditional watercolor. One man kisses the other on a forehead. The one being kissed , smiles happily. Traditional watercolour artwork. Two guys eat a pizza and talk, laughing and flirting, while they sit on a floor in a nice cosy European apartment Traditional watercolour sketch. To guys ride a motorbike. The one on the back sit has his hands spread in a joyful movement.
