My is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular far & wide.

💙📚 HOT DEMON BITCHES NEAR YOU from J.E. Erickson is an exuberant blast of gore & grue. The Horrors are heavy here, but balanced with deliciously devilish delights & a LOT of heart. (Lots of OTHER body parts, too.) You'll be disturbed, delighted, horrified- but also cackling. HELL, yeah! (Self-published)

WHEN THE DEVIL is a novelette from Emma E. Murray that packs many horrors inside of its compelling, feverish intensity. Libby's world is dark and cruel, and any peace, joy, or deliverance comes with a price. Devils abound, but sometimes the fruit they offer makes the damnation worth it. (Shortwave Publishing)

The family trauma that pervades THE DAY OF THE DOOR is horrifying enough, but coupled with the intensely creepy events that occur, this story encapsulates "HORROR" in a masterful, terrifying way. Laurel Hightower has written a beautifully dark story about the Things that haunt our hearts. (Ghoulish Books)

It's Gemma Files' birthday and she is my favorite of my Unholy Trinity of Cosmic Horror Writers. (The other two are Langan & Barron, btw. I still have to check out Evenson, and Ligotti is great but a tad too depressing 😆)

Give her a birthday gift (and do yourself a huge favor) by picking up ANY of these fantastic, dark books that will linger in your mind and fester.

@astroPug @horror @horrorbooks @bookstodon Yay! I'm so glad!! That book really hits all of my favorite things - cursed media, film history, and the politics and underbelly of the "art ecosystem," as you aptly put it. Plus, reading that book made me realize I was autistic, I identified so much with the MC & it took me on a deep dive of self-realization. So, yeah, it's a special one for me, and I'm very happy you read and enjoyed it!

Hailey Piper calls CRANBERRY COVE "bleak," and although it is filled with numerous Horrors, I don't think it is. It's dark, but rings true: ultimately it's about persevering and fighting (both despite and IN SPITE of) the Darkness hiding everywhere that threatens to engulf us. A GREAT read. (Bad Hand Books)

THIS WRETCHED VALLEY by Jenny Kiefer is one of the most satisfying and scary "survival horror" books I've read. Innocent adventuring quickly ricochets into a Thin Place nightmare where weird wilderness & horrors run amok. It's creepy, fast-paced, and a fantastic, fun book to get lost in. (Quirk Books)

Jobob , to ActuallyAutistic group
@Jobob@mastodon.me.uk avatar

So, a question for undiagnosed late realised @actuallyautistic folks.
Your work makes a change and it saves them money but plays actual havoc with all of your traits that you're still learning to recognise as autistic. You tell them about the impact it has on you and they completely dismiss your complaint, saying its fine for most people.
If there was a diagnosis it'd basically be indirect discrimination. But there isn't, and no prospect of one any time soon.
What do you do?

stina_marie ,
@stina_marie@horrorhub.club avatar

@Jobob @actuallyautistic In corporate America no one would care, you'd be forced to adapt or learn to navigate, and likely would eventually be fired or quit in a meltdown. And they would blame it on any other reason they could pin it on so you'd have no recourse.

(This was literally the cycle of my employment history/life until I was fortunate enough to not have to work anymore. And I live in terror something will happen to make me have to go through it all again.)

stina_marie ,
@stina_marie@horrorhub.club avatar

@Jobob @actuallyautistic I'm very glad for you. It's obviously a struggle and not easy wherever you may reside, but at least you have SOME protections. I hope you're able to find a solution that keeps you healthy and happy.
