WHY didn’t any of you TELL ME that there was a VAMPIRE in #BaldersGate3????? I feel betrayed by you all, you vampire hoarders - I could have bought this last year! 🧛♂️🧛♂️🧛♂️
Got to my meeting an hour ahead of time; you will all suffer for my boredom:
Blessings on Lammas! First harvest is here, let us encourage the fields to fruit so that we are assured of plenty over the long winter.
Gladiator: Russell Crowe's Hand in Wheat Field
Alt: Someone walking through a wheat field.

I'm mostly through "Wickhills" (excellent fantasy spy-thriller) by @premeemohamed.com - out in September - & just got approved for "From the Library of Jurgen Leitner" (Magnus Archives tie-in, yissss) by @premeemohamed.com & Jonathan Sims! :book addict shriek of joy: Thanks, @netgalley.bsky.social!
Hear the chanting of the villagers coming for you? Oh, don't worry, it's just tonight's #HorrorWatch of the 1971 classic "Blood On Satan's Claw" - a tour de force of blood, sex, and the finest folk horror. Join us! (Or mute that hashtag, baby.)
OMG this week's #StrangeNewWorlds was like a love letter for all the horror fans. 💀♥️ :hugs spooky-ass episode to my bosom: Oh, Star Trek, how I lurve you!
Today was our End of Summer Reading party - I got to hold a very cold Ball Python, who immediately snuggled into my neck under my hair and sucked out every ounce of my body heat. (The reptile presenter went over very well indeed.) #SummerReading #Sneks
My current thumb arthritis is interfering with my video game habit, and I'm pretty miffed about it. I just bought a couple of new spooky games, and I want to play them, dang it!
Hell, yes. A workout video I will definitely be using.

This month has sucked, so far. Oldest in hospital for days, Mom in hospital twice - it’s only been two weeks! Please tell me Mercury is finally direct?
Half an hour till #HorrorWatch is borne aloft on the wings of MOTHRA! Join us for the beautiful WTF that is a movie about a giant moth. This film has the dubious distinction of being the very first film I saw at the drive-in - Mom & Dad put me in PJ's, & made me up a bed in the backseat. Bug+Tokyo=♥️
Take a trip with #HorrorWatch to the Kaiju-filled Saturday afternoon TV movies of the 70s. Tonight we bear witness to "War of the Gargantuas"! Men! in Rubber Costumes! Fighting for soundstage dominance!
I decided to find a new mystery series for binging this week. If you want a kind of addictive old-fashioned mystery set in the Elizabethan era (the detective is a falconer for a country knight), you might want to look into @johnpilkington.bsky.social's "Thomas the Falconer" series. #BookSky
I have to work tomorrow. Yes, I'm serious. To say that I am NOT PLEASED is an understatement. (City Hall employees get a 3-day weekend. Library doesn't, because we're apparently the red-headed stepchild of the City.) #Dammit
The joy of a new doctor who hears you say that you're exhausted all the time, no amount of sleep is enough, and says: "Um, your heart rate is in the 40's. Maybe we should dial back on this one medication that lowers your heart rate." Best. Doctor. EVAH.
Been 17 years since my dad died. He was infuriating, but instilled a love of reading in me. He was a blowhard, but he taught me to stand up for myself and not back down. He was conservative, but encouraged me to read *everything*, and question *everything*. I have complicated feelings. #FathersDay
One hour until #HorrorWatch settles in for some spooky scary storytelling, courtesy of the anthology "Kwaidan" (at least the first half - second half is next Saturday!) Join us around our metaphorical campfire or mute that hashtag! youtu.be/YadApPG8W7Q?...

"The Deep Dark" (aka #GueulesNoires) was well worth the rental price! Super-claustrophobic (most of it is in a coal mine), spooky, a sprinkling of Lovecraftian mythos, & strong-hearted men. I'm really glad I finally got to see it! (Now if they would only release it on DVD.) youtu.be/W0Wpm0VdZlg?...

My plans are set for tonight! Finally, *finally*, "Gueules Noires" (aka "The Deep Dark") - a French film about miners who disturb something terrible - is available for streaming! (on Prime) :squee: Now to manifest a streaming site for "La Ermita"! #Horrorwatch #Movies
Finally got around to watching "What Happened to Dorothy Bell?" and really enjoyed it - quietly creepy, plays into unreliable memories, mental illness, the trauma of mentally ill family, etc. Solid 4 stars. #SpookyMovies
45 minutes until we wander all unknowing into the Icy Realm of "The Snow Woman" (Japan, 1968) Join #HorrorWatch for this Japanese folk-horror trek, or smash that hashtag like the Samurai Tailor.
Not that you're likely to, or anything, but please don't add me to group chats. I already have way too many methods of communication that I'm ignoring guiltily. Just saying.
Finally watched "Hokum" - it was pretty good. A little slow at the beginning, and not at all what I expected going in; but the atmosphere in the Honeymoon Suite was top notch. The Oddity reference made me snort. #SpookyMovies #Horror
I NEED to see “Cold Eternity” by S.A. Barnes. It would be so frigging good.
☀️ Starshine@starshine.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhat’s your white whale tv/film adaptation that needs to happen
Yesterday, Marjane Satrapi & today Anthony Stewart Head. I hope they know how much their work was loved. 😢
UGH. I have to go back to work this morning. Dreamt last night that the Director made us all go cover Summer Reading at a different library, even though we're understaffed at ours, & refused to let us close our library, so you can guess how I'm feeling about the end of my vacation. #LibraryLife
Finally caught up on #WidowsBay, and I continue to be entranced by this show. Spooky AND funny, and Deep Underlying Weirdness that is going to explode in everyone's face by the end. Daaaaaaang. :so good:
