Book mail! Can’t wait to dig into Midnight Echo Issue 20 (ed. Marty Young) and so excited to have two artworks included! Stunning cover art by David Schembri and I love the eerie, liminal final artwork by Red Wallflower. 🚪👀 📚 🖤

Meet Dumpling, Snowdrop, and Squeaky Wheekers (named by 9yo and 5yo)! 🐀 🐀 🐀 🥰 They are a few months old and very fast so it’s difficult to get a non-blurry photo
Relatedly my current earworm for weeks now is a mashup of Rats by Ghost and Let It Go from Frozen 🙈 🐀 ❄️

Quick watercolour fanart of Dan and Ratty from the podcast Archive 81 by Daniel Powell and Marc Sollinger! Late to the party as always, I absolutely loved this weird unsettling found footage horror. 🎧 Fantastic cast, loved the pivot to Videodrome meets VanderMeer in S2.
