If you've ever read my 2022 #HorrorNovel HELL SPRING (and made it past the first chapter), you'll understand why I immediately snagged this old calendar page at The Great Junk Hunt event in Nashville today. #Marilyn #MarilynMonroe #1954

Curious about the novel? Visit my site via the link in my bio.

Read WOLF WORM by T. Kingfisher if you love stories about the desperation of starting over, being in the woods, the mind of an artist, obsession, mysteries, creepy crawling bugs literally everywhere, folktales & rumors, art supplies, questioning reality, Devils, body horror & really good biscuits.

Read EAT THE ONES YOU LOVE by Sarah Maria Griffin if you love losing everything & starting over, lush greenery, decrepit shopping malls, impersonal digital spaces, empty & eerie backrooms, inescapable histories, decaying ecosystems, something rotting, something growing, something watching you...

Just read a couple Jennifer Thorne books back to back. I really like her writing style. She does amazing dialog and interpersonal conflict.

Lute was especially great. So good that I immediately decided to see what else she'd written.

Diavola got off to a fantastic start, but petered out a bit after the midpoint. Still worth a read, but I personally connected with Lute more.

Travelling companions on the train to dad today: Philip Fracassi's quite excellent The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre, and some Dave Brubeck on the headphones.

There was a brownie too, but it has been munched already.
