It has occurred to me that reading Lovecraft is not altogether unlike reading Seuss at times. The gugs in the gulf, the web-footed wamps, the glibbering of the ghouls, etc. If Seuss had written dark fantasy/horror, I imagine it would've sounded like that. #Lovecraft #Seuss #SFF #Horror 📚💙 🩸📚

To this end, highly recommend Bassem Youssef's memoir, REVOLUTION FOR DUMMIES: Laughing Through the Arab Spring. He was a doctor who started a YouTube satire called Al Bernameg ("The Show") in the vein of The Daily Show, taking Jon Stewart as his model. 📚💙 www.harpercollins.com/products/rev...

Laughed with several colleagues this week about the absurdity of our dystopian survival horror, which I think we all needed. Satire is such an important tool for times like these. We can laugh our way to a re-mythologization of our present and a better future. Nolite te bastardes carborundorum. 🤘

I know it's hard to write when the fear of book bans & soft censorship looms over all BIPOC & LGBTQ writers. Especially middle grade authors who can't get into schools to promote their books anymore. Book bans are doing exactly what they want-stopping us from writing. DON'T LET THEM! KEEP WRITING!

Someone asked: "So... public domain cosmic horrors that aren't Lovecraft. What do we got?" The tradition that gave us Lovecraft & co. is rich and deeply weird. While they aren't all cosmic horror, they all informed it. So. 1 like = 1 public domain weird story that isn't by H. P. Lovecraft.

School Librarians Are The Heroes We Need!!! We must protect them, respect them, and celebrate their vital role in schools. While we're at it, let's work to ensure that every school in America has full-time, certified, professional school librarians. ❤️📚 @slj.com @penamerica.bsky.social

Lila Shapiro reached out to 300+ people and re-read Neil's backlist for the piece. How did she do it? Psychoanalysis five days a week and the support of a professional team willing to have to her back. Thank you both, @drewsof.bsky.social and @lilashapiro.bsky.social.

Survival struggles, factionalism & descents into chaos are absolute staples of the genre—not original concepts that one creator can claim as their own. There’s even a fancy French term for this: scènes à faire—situations/incidents that naturally flow from a particular premise. tinyurl.com/yc8mvseu
