Was reading Tremblay’s Cabin at the End of the World but then heard about Head Full of Ghosts and now I’m reading both. Going to be fun what my brain turns these stories into as I read them simultaneously! #booksky #horrorsky #psychologicalhorror
Cover of Paul Tremblay’s novel Head Full of Ghosts. There seems to be an image of the outside of a house with a blurred image of a figure standing nearby. There appears to be a long-range photo of a hallway cast in shadows with the hallway’s end in light. Everything is off-kilter, giving an unsettling sensation to the viewer.

Really hoping this is the real Mike! 😁 I mean, he’s had imposters on telegram so now I’m unsure. 😬

What's upsetting me most here is this isn't just a story about McBride. It's a story about whether we can be equally heard in the literal halls of power--the people's House. I know transgender attorneys, staffers, reporters, lobbyists, and interns on the Hill, all of whom are now labeled suspect.

Sitting here waiting for my 12:15 class and still feeling a tad unwell so no concentration in me to read. Campus internet is down and hoping it won’t be brought back up so I can let my class out early, go home & drink some hot tea. #smallwishes

Howdy to my new followers! I specialize in rhetorics of folk horror, horror, embodied horror, silence, & captivity. I’m usually silent (heh heh), but my goal is to engage more with others. Rn I’m starting with posting the 20 books challenge on #BookSky💙📚

So I did a workshop on mood & tone in horror & offered extra credit to my students. 2 students in different classes met & are totally crushing on each other. Just another example of horror bringing joy! 🤣
