One of the best readings I've ever heard: the rage, the heartbreak, the overwhelming wave of terrible imagery. I was shaking. I am convinced that Joe is a once in a lifetime talent.

Incredibly grateful that I experienced this in person.

This weekend at Voidcon 3 I walked the battlefields in Gettysburg before the festivities experiencing an unexpected sense of outrage & loss, and shared a piece of writing about war that terrified me to speak. The creators I met inspired me and gave me the courage to do this reading. Thank you all.

Read @horrorsong.blog's 'How to Fuck a Genocide' in GCJ5!

"Ascending into a conglomerate, hand over hand, these instantaneous eunuchs devour fetal tissue to build a new city. All roads converge and fail to provide access or egress. All time is an accident."

I spent all weekend surrounded by friends, engrossed in conversations about writing, publishing, creativity, forging a truly diy approach, shit-talking, friend-praising, and more. Honored to call these fucks friends, and to have made new ones.
I took zero photos but made the front page of a paper.

I feel like an apparition.
Hollowed out.
Bones rattlin around in an empty tank.

If you were one of the last ones standing on any night of VOIDCON I both love you and hate you and I hope to see you again soon.

THANK YOU.

So very validated in my choices.

Die Laughing Magazine @dielaughingmag.bsky.social · 16h

The Void has spoken! With 32 votes, a consensus was reached:

Fuck - Klaus Kinski (Nosferatu the Vampyre, dir. Herzog, 1979)
Marry - Max Schreck (Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, dir. Murnau, 1922)
Kill - Bill Skarsgård (Nosferatu, dir. Eggers, 2024)

Thanks for playing! See ya at the next one!

"Three tiny plastic cauldrons on the steps of a wooden ladder against a wall, placed on alternating sides. Each small cauldron has an image of the actor in his role in his respective Nosferatu film, and stuck to each is a blue post-it note with the handwritten verdict, underlined.

Top step: Klaus Kinski (fuck).
Middle step: Max Schreck (marry)
Bottom step: Bill Skarsgård (kill)."
