I have a story in Aurealis, Australia's Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine. (Issue #182) "Land of the Long Black Cloud" is set in Wellington, NZ, 160 years from now. This Oklahoma Cherokee never imagined he'd be writing down-under SciFi. "God is Change." O. Butler aurealis.com.au/store/aureal...

I don’t believe in manifestation though I have that power. Last week, I thought I was amiss having never read Justin Cronin’s “The Passage”. Then I found a pristine copy on my next Op Shop visit. Yesterday, I thought I should read the sequels, and today I found “The Twelve”. 💙📚😱💙 #horrorbooklover

Five years of scrubbing your social media just to enter the USA? Is this to help bailout AI's Mount Everest of debt? Or justify their data centres sucking up massive amounts of water in a time of escalating climate crisis? Or just another beatdown? #dystopia #fascism #workingfortheclampdown

Are you still massively against me breaking into your home and stealing all your stuff so I can sell it or have you moved more towards acceptance?
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

Reading the international news here in Aotearoa NZ. Oh, deary dear. Let’s have a cup of tea and some old punk rock instead. ‘Yankee dollars talk to the dictators of the world.
In fact, it's giving orders, and they can't afford to miss a word!’

Remembering Julee Cruise, born this day in 1956 who collaborated so memorably with Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch, including her single "Falling" in Twin Peaks.

I'm at my writing desk and hear a muffled scream. It's my 21 year-old son shouting from downstairs. I fly across the house, down the stairs, and bang on his bathroom door.
"ARE YOU ALRIGHT?"
"What?"
"I HEARD SCREAMS!"
"Singing, Dad. It's just me singing in the shower."
"Oh. OK... Carry on."

Had a read of Robert Bloch's classic "Psycho" from 1959. All the bones are there for Alfred Hitchcock's film. IMO: Anthony Perkins made a far superior Norman than the schluby character in the book. A rare case of the movie is better? 💙📚😱🎥 #horrorfiction #classichorror #horrorfan

Off of my deck is a stone staircase that leads up into the bush. The farther you go, the wilder it gets. At the top is an overgrown greenhouse. Nobody’s been up there for years. I’m curious but not that curious. I’ve read horror stories. I know how they start. #darkfiction #horrorfan #newzealand

Life-long horror fan. Since 1987, my favourite vampire movie has been NEAR DARK towering far above the rest. It now has a companion in SINNERS. Damn. What a terrific horror movie. THAT is how it's done! 💙🎥 💙😱 #horrormovies #vampires #horrorfan #theblues #chicago #mississippidelta
