Prepping for an annual-ish meeting at the bank next week and I'm on my Ebeneezer Scrooge type shi. Spent an hour just messing around in Excel trying to get blood from a stone with this budget but I think I have a fun plan figured out for the coming year.
Make your money work for you folks!

Devastating news. I measured my waist since I want to overhaul my wardrobe and it’s grown significantly since when I last bought clothes (high school (10+ years ago)).
I’ll be taking zero questions at this time.

Wasn’t expecting such a hard boiled turn of phrase in an 80s shock horror book but I’m all for it.

The yard was a smoking, dusty deathtrap. At the out-building, the men jumped out, automatic weapons yammering, singing a metallic death song set in .45 caliber tempo.

Also interestingly he seems to have a consistent set of rules for Satan/ followers of Satan in his writing. Not sure if all these stories take place in the same ‘universe’ but regardless it’s a nice touch of continuity.

Diving into the next spooky book by Johnstone. Finished the sample earlier and there is MARGINALLY less sexual violence so things are already going well. A fun sprinkling of gore as well but definitely much more grounded. It’s a werewolf story so I’m super pumped to see where it goes!

A fun way to enjoy this movie is knowing that Mark Hamill based his Joker voice on Claude Rains' performance in this. Once you hear the twang in it you can't unhear it

One of my fav clips man; if you're gonna watch a movie let yourself feel it deeply don't just look at the screen between glances at your phone. Engage with the medium damnit!

Also, yes there is a satanic cow at one point... It's that kind of weird and I'm a slut for it.

Just a warning to any prospective readers this book has all the trigger warnings you can imagine. It’s done in a schlocky way but there is: rape, incest, sacrifices, blasphemy, gore, child murder/assault. Any upsetting thing you can imagine is there so you have to kinda turn your conscious off.

So I ended up buying it and, to be quite honest, this is the most fun I’ve had reading in months. I’m about 90% done and it is by all means the most over the top, at times sickening, shock-horror, B-Movie, cliché story I’ve ever read. And I kinda love it.
3.25/5

One of my fav tropes in fiction is when shit gets so real the author needs to totally change the chapter naming format

In horror I’ve never seen the concept of demons or satanic cults that existed through the timeline of the Book of Genesis and honestly it’s such a compelling idea that I might steal it for my own scribblings 👀

"They're God's failures, son. The devil took them, made them his own. Don't ask me how—I can't answer that. I'm just a man.
Or was." He snarled, the sound coming from his mouth chilling Sam.
"I don't have much time, son. Sam, the Bible doesn't make reference to God's mistakes-naturally. Who was around to record them? Confirm them?" Lucas began to slobber, his jaws growing thicker, the saliva, a stinking drool, began dripping from his mouth and thickening lips. The transformation of this gentle man was horrible to witness.
"They're cunning, Sam. They survived the Flood and everything else God did in His attempt to destroy the evil on this earth. He failed there, too. I don't know why, or how, but He did. You know God rules the Heavens and Satan rules the Earth." He growled. "The Beasts belong to Satan-they answer only to him." Lucas screamed; a roar, the slobber spraying from his lips.
