Got to see @tkingfisher.com and @chuckwendig.bsky.social at @doylestownbookshop.bsky.social and listen to them talk about writing! It was awesome.

I’m also now convinced all of Doylestown smells like pork barbecue.

Book 85 - This is the first T. Kingfisher novel I’ve read outside of her Sworn Soldier series, and I loved it! Creepy, funny, great characters and Bongo, one the best dogs in fiction. (Watson was a big fan of Bongo.) So excited to hear her speak @doylestownbookshop.bsky.social next week! 💙📚

Happy Birthday to the Mother of Monsters.

On August 30, 1797, Mary Shelley was born - and with her came the mind that would create Frankenstein, a story that continues to haunt, inspire, and shape literature over 200 years later.

Here’s to Mary, her monsters, and the legacy she left us.

This special edition of The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty is absolutely stunning. It has a glow-in-the-dark cover (yes, really!) and green-sprayed edges.

Originally published in 1971, it remains one of the most frightening and controversial novels ever written.
