I’m going to be using Blue Sky as my main social media platform. I miss talking ska and horror with people!

What’s going on everyone. Going to be posting here more for a while.

Here at PBR, we love a great variety of horror, weird, and transgressive fiction. One of our favorites (and also an award-winner just like us) is Kathe Koja's The Cipher. Crack open a tallboy and join us in the funhole...

What’s going on blue sky people. I’ll be posting here more often now!
