BLACK SHEEP x HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE There is a hunger that can never be sated, save by the spilling of blood. The people of Winnepa know it well. An ache dulled only by the beat of swift footsteps through the Appalachian forest. Nearer. Louder. Famished. #1stlinepit #wip #q #na #h

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Forever upset that Kaos didn’t get a second season @netflix.com . I can’t be the only one who needs more Jeff Goldblum as a temperamental, tantrum-prone Zeus.

Hi #booksky! I’m a thriller author working with my lit agent on my debut novel about a private investigator tasked with finding two missing kids after a mysterious note shows up at her door. I’d love to connect with more writers, especially thriller authors. ☺️

We will need the catharsis, and of all sorts: splatterpunk, weird, cosmic/eldritch, folk/cult, Gothic, and bubblegum, to name a few. Horror contains multitudes. Horror can heal.
