You too can watch me sniff shoes in LAST NIGHT AT TERRACE LANES... now streaming on Tubi... Directed by my bud, Jamie Nash, and written by other bud, Adam Cesare!

For this month's Horror 101, take a crash course on HELLBOY! From the Right Hand of Doom to the Ogdru Jahad, explore the lore and the ideal reading order for the comics. Article by @ladiazforever.bsky.social #horrorsky #comics @mikemignola.bsky.social

Heyyyyy so about that book with the evil roadrunner god… www.amazon.com/Snake-Eater-...

You're probably familiar with the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin - but there might be more to it than just flights of fancy. Something, you see, may have actually happened in Hamelin many centuries ago to inspire the fairy tale. But what? theghostinmymachine.com/2025/05/05/u...

nocturnalrevelries.com/2025/05/04/b... extremely weird book by a horrible piece of trash nazi

I sat down finally and Frederick flopped down on me. Only because he adores me and not to block his sister and Hammer surely.

Who can really say that a little Branston pickle, raspberry jam, and blueberries don't make tasty moong dal additions? And a pile of spinach for color.

I love this short film by Andrew Foerster very much, and was very happy to be asked to design the titular guy. Check it out!

I finally got to see some of the gorgeous pieces @imc-clay.bsky.social makes during the Open Studios Tour this weekend. I snagged a couple of her beautiful mugs. The details are so cool, and it's a pleasure to drink from. And she even opened the door for me. I... don't knock on doors.

I realized yesterday that I spend far more time with the cats than I do people when I mentioned to a neighbor that I saw him playing fetch with the neighbor between us. Catch, the word I wanted was catch.

I'm the proud grower of some turnip seedlings as of today. Maybe more of the seeds will sprout. I moved my two skelamingos over to the vegetable beds to ward off the sweet looking, but probably shifty, mourning doves.

Thank the heavens above that in these trying times that Allrecipes makes me get a verification code. I'd be devastated if someone broke into my account and saw my saved recipe list. I have more trouble logging in there than I do my credit card account.

Forever free on Itch.io 🖤 💀 🎸

One bed has been filled with the mix of compost, rocks, and Cheetos wrappers I had delivered. I was very sincere, so hopefully the one completed bed will be blessed with vegetables. I'm still a little hazy on when to expect them.

Lazy marketing of the day: I have an Etsy (link in bio)! You can buy my books direct from me, signed, with bookmarks and stickers at no extra charge! (I also have dragon-related crochet items available, because I crochet like a fiend when I'm anxious and BOY have I been anxious lately.)

Pallbearers are out. Give my corpse a piggyback ride.

Spent some time last night watching Forbidden World and Nightmare Galaxy back to back while peeling plastic off of raised bed panels. I correctly guessed that the noise I was making wouldn't detract from the scintillating dialogue.

This is high art

We both work the 1st, so we decided to celebrate our 25 years of being Erotic Companions today with tasty Peruvian food. The last small gift to him is a pretty mug with irises on it to cover the traditional flower. For silver, he installed bidet attachments on our toilets.

Turning 33 tomorrow. So, to celebrate, I'm giving all of my books away on Itchio for FREE. For one day only. So grab my books this Sunday. #Booksky

Thank goodness Frederick has the cat dancer toy to get him up and running around. He did at least capture it on the stairs and take it to the bed. Hammer comes up for bro time, but will only chase the toy when it hides in the rumples. Plus, he's safe from Francesca's ogles there.

Survived Dr Badtouch again, so it's time for doughnuts.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but there are only 186 days until autumn 🎃🍁

Publishing tomorrow!!! Now the nerves are setting in. Hope you all like it! 😅

With apologies to the Irish, mine is more of a brown broth since I only had bone broth on hand. I've failed to make it sound good to anyone I've mentioned it to today, but it's tasty and quick.

Have you ever been good enough at a job that your manager believes your numbers are a system error and your supervisor has to show the data to prove it isn't? Good times. 🫩

First day of some blessed time off. Got up late, ate delicious bad food (which I shared with the cats), and watched 'For Sale By Exorcist'. The succubus exorcism was a riot. If I took a drink every time Susan said some ridiculous figure of speech, I'd be dead. Highly recommended.

Ooh!

I brought a tres leches cake to work, since I wanted some and not a whole pan. The cake is delicious. The reception has been interesting. So far, none of my coworkers have been familiar with it and one said "ooh, a French cake". Anyway, I have some PTO coming up and thank goodness.

Got my neck stitches out this morning. The tech removing them told me not to go to the gym. So firstly, thank you for pretending like I go to the gym. And secondly, I didn't hear an end date so I have an excuse not to go to the gym in perpetuity.

Disembodied is such a fun movie. I like Connie Sproutz, she mostly keeps to herself and enjoys her hobbies. I can't help seeing this as a strange live version of a Richard Sala story. Weird science, weirder detective-scientists, beautiful women kicking ass. vinegarsyndrome.com/products/dis...

Horror is Queer. Duh! 🖤 🏳️‍🌈 🖤 It doesn't get more obvious than this. But as a gay therapist I couldn't resist putting my own personal spin on the topic. Check out my newest article on why I find the link between Queerness and horror so powerful. #horror #horrorsky #mentalhealth #queer #gay #lgbtq

My favorite Valancourt titles, a 🧵...

Will you help us out and RT this out into the world? We could use as many eyes as possible on this!

The good news is that I've got Francesca napping in my lap. It's rare for her to want to be on me and it's so sweet. The not as great news is my mobile is about to die, my coffee is stone cold, and my books are out of reach. I think she's finally worn out from playing fetch. 🐀 🐱💤

Frederick took over the cursed recliner! Maybe they are finally getting used to it. He's got a knitted swatch in orange and green that's much older than himself. It's been a bookmark and cat toy for years. Francesca decided to chase Hammer rather than reclaim the seat. #caturday

To celebrate the upcoming Mage Errant Illustrated Omnibus, the first three Mage Errant ebooks are free until March 5th! Tell your friends! www.amazon.com/dp/B07PHPLHX5

Some quick #caturday pics. It's still weird to be down to three cats. Francesca spent a few minutes on the cursed recliner with her mousie down here this morning. Frederick prefers to play with the ribbon or cat dancer. Hammer mostly avoids the whippersnappers.

Sending an anniversary bouquet a full month early just to mess with him. Happy 24 years 11 months! 😏

Francesca is trying out the cursed recliner this morning. She wore herself out after throwing herself against my legs while I was getting ready.

RIP Penny. Official least favorite cat, mother of Hammer & Thyme, and expert mouser, who surprisingly finally ran out of lives. She's buried next to Chester now. She adored him, he begrudgingly let her. We'll miss her, and I know Hammer will. Bye, Penelope, aka Penny Poo. 😿
