Cosy Witch Book (Brutal) pages 1-4. Watch the website! Your new favourite uncomfortable romance comic😊🌙✨🔫🙍‍♂️🖤

A house built all mish-mash, by a road, at night. A car’s on the road

The car’s parked in a lane by the house. It ends at a small wood. A man’s got out and he’s opened the boot

Sounds at night—sounds at daybreak—sounds in daylight. They sound like this: CHK—frrr

Man’s sitting on a log, all puffed out. Has a drink, wipes his face, slaps his gloves. Seems to be a shovel just behind him, maybe

That’s… kind of crazy to imagine

Good Old Claire @illusclaire.bsky.social · 3d

Jsyk Alfie (1966) is a movie from men to men saying hey. If u measure success only in pussy units and shine u’ll be a failure As A Man. It could be marginally clearer but I wish it wouldn’t need to be

Watched the Alfie remake this afternoon. Really bad

An uncomfortable romance for the dark months🌙

Eugene exits the woods, and is surprised by a greeting

Eugene pulls ani’s glasses out of the brambles. Oh, is that blood on his hand?

Eugene does not lick the blood that he says is not on his hand and refuses help with the wound—it’s healed, he says. Ani invites him in anyway. For soup. Bc he’s been out there for so long!

What if…

Taste the Prog of Dracula @rhidaneelolivaw.bsky.social · 5d

What if I opened a play in a tiny little bar theater and it was about the nuclear apocalypse and the Simpsons and how pop-culture is weird and so on

And it opened with a two minute soundscape exactly like this one?

WHAT THEN, FOLKS

They’re so good

Asher Hellbein @asherelbein.bsky.social · 5d

Actually, I'm going to throw my hat out: would anybody like to have me on their podcast/newsletter to talk about Appalachian pulp, folklore, witchlore, and the benefits of weirding historical fiction? I think these stories are good, and I want to talk about them!

Asher Hellbein @asherelbein.bsky.social · 8d
