I missed your post the first time around, only read it a few days ago. On your recommendation I watched RITUALS and couldn't believe I'd never seen it. Really good, really suspenseful. Thanks for posting!

Canadian rural horror classic RITUALS (1977) is must-watch summer viewing. It's paced like an excellent novel by someone like Peter Straub, and follows a group of doctors, all lifelong friends, going on their annual trip into the remote Northern Ontario wilderness. Only this time, they're not alone.

The group of protagonists at the start of their adventure, wherein surely nothing truly horrible will happen to them.

Two of the main characters struggle, one of the doctors has his hands grasped around the others' throat.

“...both disturbing and hilarious at times--Ann Mason is hysterical--one moment she's shocking the hell out of me with her mania and the next, she's doing something totally out-of-pocket that's wildly entertaining.” - Sadie Hartmann, author of 101 Horror Books to Read Before You’re Murdered

"Nobody does very bad women like Miskowski, and this deeply disturbing story further establishes her as a master at exploring the psychological terrain of the kind of women who aren’t supposed to exist.”

Plenty of nice people are unkind or even horrible, every day. In friends, I'll take something like compassionate integrity over niceness, always.

This is one of my favorite stories S.P. has ever written (until recently out-of-print) and this new edition of DAUGHTERS OF CATASTROPHE, née “Muscadines”, looks like a hell of a Halloween read. 🎃

S.P. Miskowski @spmiskowski.bsky.social · 1d

It's alive! Daughters of Catastrophe (formerly Muscadines, here in a new, expanded edition with cover art by legendary Harry O. Morris) is awake and in the world with you. Treat yourself to a beautiful trade paperback or a pay-what-you-can ebook.

Cool. When we accept that women are capable of terrible things we're a bit closer to accepting women as human beings, not simply creatures who nurture.

Now available in bookstores and libraries everywhere! The October Film Haunt is my debut novel and a love letter to horror films and all of us who carry them in our hearts. And, if I may say so, pretty damned scary.

Sappier stuff after I visit a bookstore.
