Leviathan is a bad town. Long days that burn like sin. Horrid, watchful eyes. Long claws reaching from the dark. And for Kristen Singer... a last homecoming to a place of monsters.

A red-feathered hippogryph and a pink dragon fly with looks of worry through dark, storm-ridden skies. A wolf creature with black fur and a unicorn horn smirks evilly.

A white and gold unicorn clashes magic with a red-feathered hippogryph against a grey and gold backdrop. A villainous unicorn in armor looms overhead.

Sakura lives a split life. Loving parents, good friends, a talent for guitar. High school behind her, the world ahead.

Far as she knows, she is also the world's last kitsune. When the meteors fall & the supervillain rises, that'll have to be enough. AMERICAN KITSUNE. #furry #scifi a.co/d/8xOveZC

A white-furred kitsune woman with two tails leans comfortably against the side of an open barn door. She is dressed in jeans and a jacket and has long black hair. She is looking down at her phone and smiling.

Hope y'all had a great Halloween season. I spent mine writing what's basically a book-length essay series on my favorite horror movie, HALLOWEEN.

Boosting this one more time (for now) because I'm extremely proud of it.

Commercials Are Stealing From You

By Darci Meadows & Ember Blake. Ads used to be culture. I know that sounds like a strange statement and, don’t worry, I plan to explain myself, but I thought a little bluntness might help…

Capitalism destroys all culture with advertising. It destroys our outdoor spaces with advertising. It destroys interpersonal interactions with advertising. It destroys our ability to trust others with advertising.

There has got to be a human right to avoid ads.

Began the long, slow work of reading through a printout of the three Wolf-Lord novels with a revision pen in hand for the hardback release next year, and I swear that was the most relaxed I have felt in what feels like years. The old, familiar practice. Words, story, characters found again with joy.

Seth Meyers is going to end up being the first celebrity execution and it's going to be b/c his "Unless [Trump] thinks 'The Blacks' are a family of white people, I think he's mistaken" joke in 2011 was too good.

The other day I saw a commercial for a Harry Potter-themed Food Network cake baking competition hosted by the Weasley Twin actors. The nostalgia is so forced.

Your art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now.

We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.
