Book mail from @filthyloot.bsky.social! Strange Spells by Edwin Callihan.

Strange spells by Edwin Callihan. A pin that says filthy loot and a yellow sticker with a pink book that has legs and arms, with its tongue sticking out, holding a knife. Says books are evil, filthy loot. Misfit fictions est. 08.

IN

sniffing glue
being well
being your boyfriend
being a good boy
shock treatment
having something to do

OUT

going down to the basement
walking around with you
being a pinhead
being buried in a pet semetary
growing up
you

Good news. @sjxsjc.bsky.social appeared to me in a dream. I put a hand on his heart and one on his forehead and felt the spirits that animate him. Then he walked back into the sea.

The manuscript is complete.
