My currently reading. Only 14 more books til I reach my goal of 100 for the year! Stand out so far is @emmaemurray.bsky.social ‘s The Drowning Machine And Other Obsessions. Really beautiful, poignant, and graphic writing—one of my favorite combinations. 🌊💚
Stack of books on a wooden table. Books are: We Love You, Bunny by Mona Awad, The September House by Carissa Orlando, The Drowning Machine by Emma E. Murray, Mouth by Joshua Hull, Found: An Anthology of Found Footage Horror Stories, and King Lear by Shakespeare

This part of We Love You, Bunny is cracking me up. Short fucking stories is right.
Excerpt from the book We Love You, Bunny by Mona Awad. Text reads: Of course we never did that, did we, Bunny? Put our desks up here. But we didn’t know that then. We actually still thought, back then, if you can believe it, Bunny, what we were going to write things. Short fucking stories. Novelettes. About who knows what? Ghosts who were also lovers. Erotic sentient mists. Being alive on all its perils. Click, click on a typewriter. Scratch, scratch with a little Japanese pencil. These were the sounds of our future,

I love when my currently reading matches 💅🏻💖💛🖤

Bunny is a re-read and I’m loving how creepy/disturbing The Black Lord is so far 🧌

Watching the final episode of Mad Men bc I love to suffer, but this line is imprinted in my brain. I think about it everyday. Also I forgot how much halloween decor this last episode has.
Man Men episode 14 of season 7–Peggy Olsen played by Elizabeth Moss speaking on a black rotary phone with tears in her eyes. She’s wearing a black and red crossed pattern dress. A jack o lantern decoration is behind her almost off screen. Subtitles state: What did you ever do that was so bad?

I like to stare at these little guys when I’m in a writing slump (they’re my muses, I guess you could say)

Pretty sure this was the book
Children's book Poetry for Young People Edgar Allan Poe edited by Brad Bagert Illustrated by Carolynn Cobleigh. Depicts a raven roosted on top with his beak open, perched on an ornate bust carved into wood with winding accents on the side, orange and red vertical striped wallpaper behind, showing the Raven's shadow.
