So when the gods accept human sacrifice, it's fine, but when they leave and a woman takes matters into her own hands (& knife) to call them back, suddenly it's a problem 🙄

NO GODS FOR DROWNING hits exactly 3 months from today from @badhandbooks.bsky.social

In the running for my favorite matte painting in cinema
From the end of Gremlins (1984). A man walking down a snowy road. Around him sits a neighborhood of snow-covered houses, their windows and Christmas lights aglow, and the world is bathed in blue by a full moon amid long strips of scattered clouds

How come reply guys, when called out, always resort to "couldn't resist a joke" or "just a joke"? There's no humor, nothing funny, just being a pest.

I wrote a story about guys being pests, and it starts with "just a joke." It doesn't end with a laugh though. Their interactions never do.

Incredible cruelty from a celebrated author. Look what you've done to them:

LibroFM has a bunch of books discounted, BUT ALSO linking your account to an indie bookstore (either local or a long-distance relationshop) sends some of the sale their way instead of Bezzy Boy 🖤

also, ALL THE HEARTS YOU EAT is part of the sale. Ends Dec 2nd 🫀

A screenshot from Libro.FM showing All the Hearts You Eat by Hailey Piper, art by Julia Lloyd, narrated by various narrators, is half off. It has vampires and is set by the sea, as demonstrated by the oceanic colors and the fanged creature rising from the waves

I've had 3 stories edited by Samantha Kolesnik, which makes them special. Those anthologies went out of print years ago.

But thanks to @datlow.bsky.social @manylittlewords.bsky.social & @nefariousbatpress.bsky.social, the stories are back in new books 🖤 hopefully Sam's novellas will follow someday.

Miss Piggy knows how to handle disrespect
"I urge you to consider my needs as a person very carefully," Miss Piggy says. "And very quickly." She raises her fists. You should probably do what she said.

Success: Signed books at different Barnes and Nobles in the DMV 🎉

Failure: Forgot to take photos at the Exorcist steps while in Georgetown 🫠 sigh

But nevertheless, books!

And a cockroach

villains.fandom.com/wiki/Megalon
Megalon is one of the main antagonists of the Godzilla franchise. He is a cockroach-beetle hybrid daikaiju with the ability to spit geothermic napalm bombs. Megalon was both controlled and worshipped by his people, the Seatopians, whom he'd defend from what they perceived as transgressions by the surface world.
