Pilgrimage of a 45+ #HorrorAndYoyos enthusiast. Metalhead and coffee lover. These are simple musings from a simple reader. Apologies if my opinion of your book has soured our friendship.
So, I’m doing something I’ve never accomplished successfully, organizing a 2024 reading schedule. I’ll be accepting/ soliciting review requests as well as purchasing/ scheduling books that my soul needs.
I am Zakk Madness, The Eyes of Madness, and I am reopened for business.

It’s a dark and stormy morning, the kids are off to school, and I am reconnecting with Clive Barker & the Hell Priest.

Well, shit didn’t get as bonkers as I was expecting, and that’s ok. I loved the ending. The Last Haunt was a great read from start to finish. Get some before Gus gets you.
Stupid work! I’m at 86% and I feel like shit is about to get bonkers! Sorry pal, you’ve gotta take an eight hour intermission… The Last Haunt by

Scanners is basically an X-men film directed by Cronenberg in the early 80s.

I’ve always known this. But right now I’m really wishing he had directed an X-men film in the 80s. Just all weird mutant sex and wolverine skeleton claws body horror.

A lot of my friends with Bluesky accounts still mostly post on Twitter because they get more engagement there. I get it. No judgment. But I urge again: It takes 5 seconds to copy and paste those posts here. If you do you will *build* that engagement and make it easier for people to quit Twitter.
