I found him both obnoxious and highly relatable (to teenaged me).

Good morning. Before you plunge your face deep into the overfull bowl of our clogged collective news toilet, cleanse yourself with an apple review! Today: the ORLEANS REINETTE.

Apple Review #15: Orleans Reinette

Why is it that sometimes you eat well-regarded apple but find it terrible? Or, the reverse: an apple that sucks is, to you, in that moment, good? There are, of course, a lot of things going on. Som…

Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads. I ditched it awhile ago for other political reasons, but this might tip your hand.

Thanks for the heads up @chuckwendig.bsky.social.

It's Book Quote Wednesday, and nearly Halloween, so... here's an excerpt from Hummingbird

(If you imagine the dog-collar studs are metallic gold, it's *almost* a keyword fit...)

Grab it direct from the Batstore here: payhip.com/b/Ed5bX

They were mannequins, or seemed to be: ghost white, bald and featureless, their straight-hipped bodies life-size and their expressions uniformly blank. Six of them in total, bound to the osseous branches above by heavy-duty string and suspended in mid-air like the cast of an obscene puppet theatre. All were clothed: four in brown hessian sackcloth fashioned into dirty, bloodstained tunics, another in a Ceno-bite leather and dog-collar getup that wouldn't have been out of place in the window of an old-school Soho sex shop, and the sixth covered from shoulder to ankle in something like chainmail. The face of one was obscured entirely by a black hood fixed around its neck with hangman's rope; the head of another was entirely absent, its body not only decapitated but dismembered and its absent arms and legs piled in an untidy heap on the floor below.

Promo image for Hummingbird showing:

A. Book cover - a humanoid skeleton with antlers and a body taken over by tree roots and branches

B. Strapline: "Small Town. Big Evil"

C. Blurb from Hailey Piper, calling Hummingbird "a Pulp Fiction-esque horror show"
