Recently found (thanks to a Reddit thread) a book I remember reading and loving in the fourth grade. Found a copy online and just finished reading it. Have to say, it’s actually pretty good and enjoyable. Lots of fun monsters make an appearance. Very glad I was able to find it after all these years!

Question for you, horror hivemind: do you recall an older episode of the @thenosleeppodcast.bsky.social with a deer like this? I want to say the story was called Edith? Charlie? Pretty sure the deer talked whatever its name was.
We keep finding each other in strange circumstances.

Just finished my second novella-length project of the year. Exhausted but happy.

Hopefully I’ll feel the same way when I’m through editing it haha.

In the meantime, cake 🍰

BREAKING NEWS: they cracked the code and deciphered what this mummy had to say. Unsurprising (to us) it said: “READ MODERN MUMMIES!”

Learn more about our latest horror anthology here: www.cateyepress.com/modern-mummies
when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet

Saturday morning cartoons are great, but Saturday morning *books* may be even better. Especially if they’re about mummies, like our latest horror anthology is. And it’s ready for immediate download. www.cateyepress.com/store/p/mm-e...

Read my story, "The Lingering Oil," about an absolute loser trying to fix up his family's burger restaurant while confronting ghosts--both literal and figurative--of the past. Plus a bunch more horror and some great recipes!

Very excited that my cat demonic possession is now out in the wild! Go on and give it a read! 😸
Nothing can really prepare you for the realities of pet ownership. From fancy food to vet bills, new toys to demonic possession, anything is possible with a cat! Wait, what was that last one?

Did you check the kitchen drawers? Under the bed? Are you absolutely sure? Prepare yourself for anything by reading "The Tunnel People" by @lilliekoi.bsky.social. You never know where they could be hiding.

Oh yeah. Was reading Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House alone in my first apartment. Heard a noise from outside the room and immediately locked my bedroom door. Damn good book.
The #Reading Void is back with another question for you all: has a horror story or book ever frightened you enough that it made you make sure your doors were locked?
