Fascism was bad in the 1930s and 40s. Could it be better this time?

Something old, something new -how I started 2024.
One of my favorite reading traditions is saving the new Stephen King book for my last read of the year. This year will be You Like it Darker. I’m excited to finally dive in!
Do you have and reading traditions?

I’m refreshing my time in Proofrock by listening to Chainsaw and Reaper before finally diving into The Angel of Indian Lake.

Do writers feel like other writers know what they're doing, or does nobody know what they're doing? Does anybody know what they're doing?

I love coffee and I love Anna!
📖Meet the Reader Monday📖
Reasons we would be friends:
- you love coffee
- you hate E.T.
- you enjoy long opinion pieces on books
- you don't mind chaotic TBRs
- you enjoy The X-Files (I know, ironic)
- you're into a weird mix of music from grunge to 80s alt to pop
- you like your horror with heart

You know the saying- your vibe is your tribe?

I get all the feels when someone follows me here and I see a delightful pinned comment that makes me think we’d be friends irl.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you accomplish this weekend is reading a riveting novel cover-to-cover whilst drinking multiple kettles of tea and consuming a scandalous amount of croissants, then you will have accomplished more than enough.

Happy book birthday to my very own feminist horror short story collection, I Do Not Apologize for My Position on Men!

CMC is making me think about my feelings.
Eww, gross @claymcleod.bsky.social
(Please don’t stop)
What is the last book/story that made you feel something? What piece of writing, fiction or otherwise, elicited a genuine emotion from within you that wasn't there before reading it?

I’m watching National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.
Clark’s tirade after receiving the jelly of the month letter is glorious.

Ooo, I need to start keeping a list of short stories.
What's a short story that encapsulates your favorite author? If we were putting together an author sampler, what would be the distillation of your most prized writer?

Pink horror? Female rage?
Count me in!
Something is to be revealed on Friday, 11.22.24 but what could it be??

Let @claymcleod.bsky.social convince you to stay on high alert—you won't want to miss this unsettling surprise lurking just around the corner.
