In her latest review, @pematson.bsky.social writes about a slightly spooky story, Eden Royce's upcoming Psychopomp & Circumstance. "... less about the fantastic and much more of a coming-of-age story..."

We're going to soldier on. Internet should be more stable (we hope).

That means rescheduling some missed shows. Since we have a regular schedule, we're probably moving last week's Torture Cinema to a special day.

Deets coming as soon as we know what they are. Wee.

We are so sorry to do this, everyone, but we'll have to cancel tonight's live show.

With the producer's Internet being unreliable + some of our crew being exhausted from travel, the writing seems to be on the wall here.
