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 haven't been active much on here lately as we recently moved and let's just say that life has been pretty chaotic for about 3 months. Been doing some rad events, been looking into the future of the press, been trying to dig out of some time-holes. All in all it's good but stressful.

—the more friends they lose. I hated the ending to that one (complimentary—it couldn’t have ended any other way). Richard’s collection probes the depths of grief and isolation in a way I wasn’t expecting, and made me sad just as often as it scared me. You should check it out.

But by far my favorite is “From The Past Comes The Storm,” a story about 90s queer metalheads that start stealing and distributing DIY HRT drugs, who then escalate to burning down a church in defiance of christian fascism—except it doesn’t stay burnt. And the more times they try—

THE STILL BEATING HEART OF A DEAD GOD by @sammytotep.bsky.social

TSBHOADG is: drunkenly wandering a post-apocalyptic mall mourning your dead wife; cam-girl body horror; a surprisingly touching story called JIZZ CHRIST; a craft beer that will change your life; grief, loneliness, & flesh crucifixes—

Finished this @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social novella this weekend - MUTANT CIRCUIT by Mark Jaskowski. A high-octane cosmic/body horror conspiracy thriller that reminded me of FEVER HOUSE.

Book cover - a smoky, abstract face in grey scale with the title Mutant Circuit in bright yellow, the author name Mark Jaskowski below in white

Book 61 of 2025: Jo Quenell, The Mud Ballad

The Mud Ballad is a completely over the top psychotronic backwoods novella about carnies, black magic, and a murderous little filthhole of a town. Hogs fightin' kids, mimes, conjoined twins, necromancy, lost loves, boy howdy does this one pack it in.
