It’s October which means it’s been a year since I emailed @kithbooks.bsky.social and went “hey what do you think about a short story collection?” I for one think now is the PERFECT time of year to pick up YOU ARE NOT YOUR BONES if you like queer shit and hauntings that aren’t always literal :)

“Stas, what did you do?”
“I told you,” Stas said, looking
up at his sister with a
perfectly calm expression.
“I chose myself this time.”

the cover of You Are Not Your Bones & Lesser Misfortunes by Alice Scott overlaps an old paper library book slip. on the cover a person stands in front of a moonlit window, their skeleton projected in moonlight down their front. the text on the book slip reads: “Stas, what did you do?” “I told you,” Stas said, looking up at his sister with a perfectly calm expression. “I chose myself this time.”

Saw The Running Man last night and I can tell this is one of those things like Repo that was probably satire/exaggeration when it was written but tbh I feel like we’re only a few months away from Mr Beast trying this exact scenario

GDT's Frankenstein was awesome. Gothic and delicious.

Ofc I now have to peddle my Indian Frankenstein book for those of you who, like me, wonder what would happen if Victor was a teen girl.

Local Notacule continues tradition of refusing to dress like they’re all going to the same place
Me, AJ, and MJ in front of the marquee for a sold out Halsey concert. MJ actually looks dressed for a concert, Aj is in camo, and I’m in a ruffly blouse and suspenders that make me look like I should’ve been lurking in the background of the critical role Halloween episode

a handy dandy venn diagram, perhaps. If you will.
A Venn diagram titled “Ever wondered what two married authors have in common?” On Alice Scott’s side: “All adult, short stories; Lots of magic with very minor horror elements; Fun and hopeful and otherworldly and defiant and sweet; SO many cute little metaphors.” On AJW’s side: “Mainly YA w/ some adult, all novels; LOTS of horror; "Angry injured animal backed into a corner" vibes; Well that was fucking gross.” In the overlap: “Look at all these trans people; It's just so gay; SFF, spec-fic; ASD, ADHD, & anxiety rep.”
