Saw this and thought of @HaileyPiperFights !!

The face of CPR doll "Resuscitation Annie" is based off a death mask of a woman who drowned in Paris in the 1880s. The pathologist on duty became entranced by the girl with the enigmatic half-smile, and so he commissioned a plaster cast made of her face. She became known as "L'Inconnue de la Seine,” or “The Unknown Woman of the Seine.”

In 1955, a toymaker named Asmund Laerdal created what we now know as the CPR doll and based the face off this mask. #histmed #MedMastodon #histodons

@GripTheFox His fiction has never felt “American” to me (although honestly, I’m not sure how I’d define that anyway), but his has always felt so steeped in the ancient, the antiquated, the outré, that it feels more European to me.

Me: I need to get back to writing.

My brain: Now is the time to take the vacuum cleaner downstairs and clean out all the tiny dead flies in the boiler room! And do the laundry!

Me: But..... writing?

My brain: You suck at it anyway, and you're only going to sit there for two hours torturing the poor language so forget it and do something useful. Go vacuum.

Me: Fine....

I feel that Gen X was well trained for the day when an evil rich dude bought the mall where we all hang out so he could demolish it.

This is our moment.

We're gonna need a lot of skateboards. And a scrappy mutt.

And a montage.

My (un)holy trinity of horror #authors is Gemma Files, Laird Barron, and John Langan. I know anything I read by them will be beautifully eloquent & unsettling. And I still have much to read by them, which is very exciting!

Who are your favorite #weirdhorror or #horror writers?
