We’ll have more to say about this—obviously—as the year progresses. In the meantime: support independent art & the humans who make it; they’re the day pass that lets us out of the madhouse for a bit. And in every way you can: support each other. 🖤☠️

“What ultimately qualifies this writing [Varney the Vampire] as horror is the description of fear as a physical, embodied experience…” — Royce Mahawatte, “Horror in the Nineteenth Century: Dreadful Sensations, 1820-80” And, you know, the vampire.

Some time back I started watching What We Do in the Shadows, but quit 10 minutes into the pilot. Last night I decided to give it another chance, and I’m glad I did. It’s not great art, but it’s good farce.

Recently watched: The Velvet Vampire (1971). Takes the “predatory lesbian” trope very literally. Too much nudity to get an MST3K treatment, but otherwise it would be a prime candidate.

I meant to post this this morning but a late shift change meant I had to get up at 2 am. This review has been almost six months in the making, and it's taken me that long to feel confident that I did this the justice it deserved. gnofhorror.com/preaching-to... @jamesbennett.bsky.social

Recently read: Mexicans on the Moon by Pedro Iniguez. Primarily science fiction poetry with some horror elements. Plenty of humor and anger and playfulness and pain and thought. Some of the standouts for me: “Perish and Live Forever,” “The Payphone,” “Last Act of a Doomed Man,” and the title poem.

I always have three books I’m reading at once: one nonfiction, one fiction, one poetry. Right now, for once, none of my current reads is horror-related. I don’t know how that happened.

Recently read: Thank You For Joining the Algorithm, edited by Alex Woodroe. This is an anthology of stories, poems, art, and hard-to-categorize works dealing with AI and the other algorithms that threaten our humanity. The breadth and depth of creativity here is inspiring.

Recently read: What Moves the Dead, by T. Kingfisher. A Ruritanian reimagining of Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher,” featuring linguistic invention, zombie hares, and heroic deeds by an aunt of Beatrix Potter. As always, Kingfisher is imaginative and entertaining.

Earlier this year, I floated the idea of editing a "Quiet Horror" anthology. People seemed to love the idea. Well, it's happening... We open for submissions in the new year. I can't wait to read your stories. More details: matgost.substack.com/p/submission... Please share far and wide!!!

I recommend you watch A Warning to the Curious (1972), made from an M. R. James story. And I recommend you watch it in a dark room, with no captions, and the sound off.

Early science fiction writer Edison Tesla Marshall, born in 1894, must have had interesting parents.

Recently read: The Black Guy Dies First: Black Horror Cinema from Fodder to Oscar by Robin R. Means Coleman, PhD, and Mark H. Harris. Saga Press, 2023. Thoughtful, richly informative, and entertaining. My one complaint is the lack of an index, because I'd like to use this book as a reference work.

Recently read: We Mostly Come Out At Night, edited by Rob Costello. An anthology of queer monster stories—as in, the monsters are queer. YA. I wish books like this had been available when I was a young adult, and I wouldn't hesitate to give this to a young adult in my life.

A popular horror creator made a post about women doing the damn thing in horror this year. Yet not one Black woman (or any woman of color) was included on her list. So I compiled one. Here are 20+ Black women doing the damn thing in horror this year #BlackSky inlovewithhorror.com/blogs/news/1...

Went to a terrific poetry reading at a local bookstore I’ve never been to before (Flagship Books in Kansas City KS) and might have found a book while I was there.

I’m not sure what tiny frights will become. Creativity is important, connection is important, and I love the communities around horror, writing, and art. I don’t know what role I’ll have in those communities in the future, but I’m holding on to the domain name and social media accounts.

tiny frights is ceasing publication. No more podcast episodes, either. I don’t have the psychological resources for it. Much gratitude to everyone who’s been a part of tiny frights. As much as possible, be safe and be well. (I plan to keep the past issues and podcast episodes online.)
