Congratulations to all of the nominees on the final ballot for the 2024 Bram Stoker Awards! What a fabulous list!

Sneaking a few favorite horror books into my miniature bookstore (including my own). Made tiny versions of books by @spillinggrace.bsky.social @ericlarocca.bsky.social @mariaabrams.bsky.social @wnwagner.bsky.social @brendatolian.bsky.social @jawmccarthy.bsky.social and more 🖤

I love that my boyfriend will let me show him all these horror movies. 🖤

My boyfriend and I are three minutes into watching Companion and I already love it.

Saw this today!

My boyfriend got a plant and I named him Lionel.

This week has been a lot.

My boyfriend and I just saw the documentary "No Other Land". It was devastating. I've never seen a theater so quiet after the lights came up. Just heartbreaking.

The miniature bookstore I'm working on now features the tiniest inkwell and it is so cute. 😊

Phoebe would like you to know that she owns me and that this ownership is legally binding.

I started work on a miniature bookstore kit. Going to add some gothic touches as I go along.

The money and the power go to the wrong places over and over and over and it makes me want to scream.

OH MY GODDESS I MISSED YELLOWJACKETS SO MUCH!

I saw a bumper sticker today that said "normalize gazing at the moon" and it made me smile.

I want to find a remote job I actually care about that pays a living wage and includes benefits. I know I'm asking for a lot, but I'm determined.

My dog and I are having a movie night. 😊

I'm rewatching The Menu because it's one of my favorites and has become something of a comfort watch for me. It's so exquisitely written.

I decided to paint a seashell. The outside is a metallic gold and the inside is a swirl of color. A little task, but working on it was good for my soul.

Phoebe is pleased we have returned to her. 🥰

Anthony made me a beautiful candle and it smells delightfully of lavender ❤️

We got lunch, went to an antique store, found tarot-themed tea light holders, and I got Anthony to resign in chess 😜🥰

If someone wants to bequeath my boyfriend and me a haunted antique store...we'd be into that.

Sometimes you re-read something you wrote and it has an entirely different meaning than when you created it. Finished proofing GIRL IN THE CREEK this morning, and the ending, which used to feel simply fun, felt a lot more insightful and important than it did a few years ago.

This is one of my all time favorites! Don't miss out!

I made some earrings!

I made my boyfriend a jewelry box while he made dinner. I stained the wood, cut the dowels, glued the fabric, and made a metal wire light bulb design for the lid, to the best of my ability, because Anthony loves electric wiring. ❤️
