I'll probably get a thinner mat at some so it doesn't cut off as much of the art but I lurve it so much. Also, please ignore my wonky photograph skills...I was trying not to be reflected in the glass 😆.

I watched THE FIRST OMEN on #Hulu last night and it was rad. I thoroughly enjoyed it- it's well-done, creepy, disturbing, and surprisingly artful in a lot of its imagery & cinematography.
It also has me pondering a question:
Would the Catholic Church be pro-abortion, if the fetus in question was proven to be the Anti-Christ? 🤔

My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror#books far & wide.
💙📚 You may presume you'll know the story that unfolds in I THINK I'M ALONE NOW, but you'll be wrong as hell. I read this novella in a single sitting: Ali Seay has written a thoroughly enjoyable, vivid, violent, deliciously dark chunk o' horror set in the 80's that's, like, totally rad. (Grindhouse Press)
2024 marks the 45th anniversary of sci-fi horror masterpiece Alien, which was released May 25, 1979.
The first time I saw it I was pretty young, it was on TV and censored. We actually had it recorded on a VHS from TV, which is something my family did a lot. I only saw the full uncensored version years later! 😂
Thought I'd share these images from THE SHINING: A VISUAL AND CULTURAL HAUNTING, put out by Rough Trade Books. It's a fantastic collection of analysis, ephemera, trivia, and photos.

💙📚 THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH by Paul Michael Anderson is a compelling collection w familiar tropes that go to dark & unexpected places. Full of cosmic horror goodness, with dashes of folk & creature horror for extra flavor, this novella & 4 short stories will keep you entertained & satiated. (Cemetery Gates)
Eight-year-old Bela is the only child in a dysfunctional family full of secrets. Bela has also been keeping her own secret from Mommy and Daddo. She's been talking to an entity that hides in her closet. Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman brought back all of my childhood nightmares. I had to step away from this book more than once because it was scaring me.
