#31NightsOfHalloween Night 1: ALL HALLOWS’ EVE (2013). This year’s going to be a mix of starting and completing series I’ve never seen (such as TERRIFIER), sprinkled through with “random old (-2000) and new scratches (2000+) I’ve yet to itch.”
Holy moly, @sadiehartmann.bsky.social! Just received my Night Worms Bookmark Bundle (ordered at the same time as a new subscription) and it was very packed with many many needful things. Thank you!

Hear that? Is that singing? Or screaming? Or both? In the case of horror musicals, it's both, & if you're curious about the duality of these lovely pieces of art, we've got you. Read The Unattainable Dreams We Kill For: The Narrative Spine of Horror Musicals: www.darkertimes.com/horror-music...

@tricyclemag.bsky.social Hi! As a subscriber, are PDF versions of the issue available? I don't want to read articles from a webpage.
Welp, @readjapaneseliterature.com, the thing I've been working on with others is public now, and I'd love to have you (and any of our onlookers) take a peek, maybe become a reader, maybe a contributor, or maybe just nod curiously: Dialogues of East Asia, a monthly APAzine: dialoguesofeastasia.com
@crossedpaths.co.uk It seems page references in the PDF might be wrong too... on p.24, it talks about DEPTHS being on p.24 (when it's on p.26). Similarly, Basic Rules on 8 says "ITEM reward (pg.26)" but I'm thinking it should be pg.28? Also, same page, Combat is p.30, not 29. Etc.
@crossedpaths.co.uk Hello! In Brambletrek Core Rulebook, p.8, what does "Beating an opponent on the Red table" mean? I see no other mention of "Red table" (or, for that matter, "red"). Does it mean a Hearts event card? Thank you! (/me is planning a Discord-based group game.)
Oh! @readjapaneselit.bsky.social, you might be interested in a forthcoming (candidate) book club in Signum's SPACE for June: "The Japanese Heartwarming Bookclub" of Michiko Aoyama’s iyashikei What you Are Looking for Is in the Library: blackberry.signumuniversity.org/space/module....
@readjapaneselit.bsky.social Question for ya! Looking for Japanese (or East Asian) equivalents to Finnegan's Wake or Infinite Jest that also happen to be translated into English. The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, maybe? What else?
@samreich.bsky.social My gods, just watched Game Changer “The Official Cast Recording” (s4e5) and I have no words. What an amazing surprise. 100% giant grin the whole time. So so good. Wowzers! Someone needs to make this “for real”.
#JanuaryInJapan day 31 with @readjapaneselit.bsky.social: “The Far Shore” by Yoko Tawada: "So I’ve got problems with my lungs. Why couldn’t I have seen that as a good thing?" An unhealthy mix of grins and grimaces with this one.
The Far Shore by Yoko Tawada - Words Without Borders
In Yoko Tawada's dystopian tale, the entire Japanese archipelago is rendered uninhabitable by a contamination of a different kind when a fighter plane piloted by a teenager loses control and crashes i...
