My neighbor is standing on his roof, using a leaf blower to move leaves from gutters to lawn. A new horror every day.

Our annual romp through Kersey Valley Spooky Woods was a delight, as always. Huge fan of Freddy's boiler room set.

Do y'all ever think about how Rowling's "not my daughter, you b*tch" line is just a barely rephrased version of the most iconic line from Aliens? Because I think about it a lot.

I think nearly the entire Horror genre boils down to the idea that it is worthwhile to fight until your very last breath. Even, and maybe especially, when there is no hope.

2025 horror reads so far:
-THE UNMOTHERS: Loved all the lyrical moments in this book. Slow-burn cult horror; if it was a movie, Mike Flanagan would direct.
-THE ONCE YELLOW HOUSE: Deeply weird (complimentary!) & I needed that.
-ROUGE: thrilling, beautiful, & devastating. I would die for Hud Hudson.

Something I have long yearned for is a horror movie (or, ideally, a vampire tv series!) that uses blue gel for blood like they do in maxi pad commercials. I think it would fix me.
