Community theater stage manager for multiple decades. I lost count of the times I had to fight the impulse to call large parts of the cast to the stage and then set fire to it.

you ever randomly scroll across the theme song to Gullah Gullah Island and feel your whole body activating like the Terminator

in insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...

What Gretchen looks for in a book + I could NOT agree more

20. Sensual feeling, interesting renditions of interior thoughts and memories, unsentimental endings and structures. Gay.

15. @boneysoups.bsky.social's THE RED SACRAMENT, the definitive vampire novel of our century, a genius borderline satirical gothic story of immortal theater kids crashing head-on into modernity

The Good Place had a very nice romance in it.

today in reader responses to the red sacrament: the girls who get it get it

tales from the beach: someone’s dad says “who wants to see a dead seagull” and the kids all holler ME and follow

Next week is the book launch for DEVIL INSIDE at The Strand Bookstore. Rachel Harrison and Nat Cassidy will be joining me to chat about the book. If you’re in NYC and looking for something to do, it would mean a lot to me if you joined us. You can register here: bit.ly/4ebO5LT

oh and if you need something to keep you from going completely cold turkey feral post-lestat, @boneysoups.bsky.social's THE RED SACRAMENT is every bit as good as everybody was saying, the most gorgeous writing i've come across in ages + all the bloodsucking you crave

New Yorker forced to concede yet again that Michigan very beautiful

does anybody know why magic tricks / stage illusions IN PARTICULAR so often have, like, crazy misogyny in the mix

Tag yourself I’m “has to be brought or carried over the threshold” 👰🏻‍♀️💅🏻

I am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…

The operatic debut from Sara Hinkley is a decadent, shimmering dive into 1869 Paris, where a vampire theater company faces dangers both personal and political. Sexy, scary, and dazzling, this gorgeous horror novel will have readers in its grip. @titanbooks.bsky.social

the nod of solidarity I share with the cousinhusbands on the family vacation I’m on…………..yes we all married into this situation. we are strangers in a strange land

whole movie’s a flop if we don’t see the wicker penis imo

got a house/catsitter coming and I think my apartment is the cleanest it’s ever been? I took out the interior pieces of the fridge and individually washed and dried them and put them back in. I would literally never do this for myself

I bet Lumiere FUCKS

more reading on witches: I came across Lyndal Roper's The Witch in the Western Imagination during book research and absolutely loved it. Super engaging read + totally load-bearing, now I'm a Roperhead for life

Witch in the Western Imagination

In an exciting new approach to witchcraft studies, The Witch in the Western Imagination examines the visual representation of witches in early modern Europe. With vibrant and lucid prose, Lyndal Roper...

this and I also thought the way Nolan shot Athena so we see her imperfect tooth was very beautiful

Jamie@jayelharris.bsky.social · 7d ago

I found the final reveal of Athena/Zendaya so incredibly moving. It can be interpreted as literal, they massacred Athena that day, but also metaphorical, that there is the Holy Spirit in all of us, and as result everyone has value.
