Literally laughed out loud at this dude being tortured in hell in one of the shitty Hellraiser sequels feeling compelled to make sure his demon knows that he caught the totally obvious reference.

Freddy Krueger: “I have a dream, BITCH!”
Victim: ”AIEEEEE! MARTIN LUTHER KING JR!”

Despite the fact that I owe my whole professional (and much of my personal) life to blogging, I haven't actually had a personal blog for nearly two decades. But galvanized by @kissane and @beng, I'm now officially back on my bullshit.

"Everyone has that weird uncle growing up, don't they?

The kind who tickles you until you cry. The kind whose giggle is so high-pitched, it can only be heard in the sound of your ear cells dying. The rickety-stickety kind, with hands are like daddy longlegs all tied together.

Everyone has that kind of uncle. Right?"

My #Weird #Horror story Handy Longlegs will be orated live by @lovecrafttapes at 9PM ET tonight here:

"A psychedelic sci-fi epic that reads like James Joyce wrote a book about a time-traveling torturer who becomes the Messiah after eating the brain of the Emperor of Earth."

"A multi-reality, multi-timeline fever dream birthed from the mind of a Roman Catholic bibliophage who has mashed up every story he has ever heard into a single narrative that is all stories at once."

If those elevator pitches appeal to you, it's time for you to discover #GeneWolfe's The Book of the New Sun (#tBotNS).🧵

#Introduction #Intro #Introductions

I'm John Brownlee, an editor, journalist, scofflaw and ne'er-do-well who lives outside Boston with his family.

You might know me from my work at Fast Company, Wired, Boing Boing, Folks, Kotaku, The Consumerist, or dozens of other places where I have worked.

I founded Folks, a magazine about amazing people living with #disability, and in a previous life, Ectoplasmosis, a weird art and culture blog.

I also write (and occasionally publish) weird #fiction.

Please say hello! #introduction
