@haileypiperfights.bsky.social, my daughter was playing with slime today, and all the unicorns got sucked into the amorphous blob, and you know what I just couldn’t help but think of?

Do you need something to do this Valentine’s Day??? Do you love weird dark fiction…possibly of the ecological variety??? If so, join me at Weird Providence to celebrate the release of my eco-horror short story collection, Haunted Ecologies, with @christaqua.bsky.social and Sam Edwards!

BooksRead2025 #10 @christaqua.bsky.social delivers a tension filled, gothic banger of a story here. Chock full of Providence RI history, Edgar Allen Poe, and even some Lovecraft lore, this book slow burns its way to a harrowing end sequence that made me sweat. I absolutely loved this! #booksky 📚📚📚

Sometimes I become so ingrained in the habit of watching horror films that I forget other films exist… so glad I gave this one a chance tonight. 🐌🔥🖤 youtu.be/Ehc8cc7g31I?...

New favorite way to handle the funerary insurance spam calls I’ve been getting inundated with is to lead them on for long enough to let them know that, as a vampire, I’d appreciate a new casket, but as someone who will never die, I’d like to pass on all the other services.
