  1. Heute könnte es soweit sein, dass ich das finale Probeexemplar in Händen halten werde. Sollten sich keine augenscheinlichen Fehler mehr auftun (es wird nie fehlerfrei sein, irgendjemand findet mit Sicherheit etwas), kann ich euch in den nächsten Tagen auch den VÖ-Termin ankündigen.

    2022 habe ich mit dem Konzept angefangen, 2026 wird der Roman endlich in die Welt entlassen.

    Für alle, die gerne #ScienceFantasy, #SpaceOpera, #CosmicHorror und eine Prise #Krimi mögen.

  2. The Pentagon's idea of UFO disclosure: 162 files, 108 redactions, an Apollo 17 photo of three dots. Delta Green's idea: a thermite grenade and a falsified death certificate. Arc Dreams Cosmic Horror RPG bundle at insane prices!

  3. With 25% left in my current WIP's first draft, the next idea is knocking on my door pretty insistently. I've managed to keep it at bay for now, but I am chomping at the bit to get back into world building mode.

    And let me tell you--it's gonna be a weird one.

  4. Let the buyer beware: In author Ava Morgyn's new dark fantasy / cosmic horror novel "Only Spell Deep," a woman finds something ominous in a book store...and things get darker from there. To find out more, check out this exclusive interview.

  5. Everyone has an agenda and nobody's the hero in Spectre Miniatures' Cosmic Horror. Cults, G-men and academics scrabble for forbidden knowledge across 1930s America while their sanity quietly packs its bags... #Kickstarter #CosmicHorror #Lovecraft #Miniatures #Wargaming l.d20.ninja/XYxcZ3

    “The current strength of Scottish weird fiction has its roots in Lindsay’s surreal & stricken work… Lindsay ought to be considered alongside writers like Arthur Machen, William Hope Hodgson & HP Lovecraft as one of the great proponents of cosmic horror”

  7. I've had very limited time to read so far this year, but I did get through John Langan's THE FISHERMAN, which is a pretty stunning piece of cosmic horror.

  9. Went to see Have Fun, Good Luck, Don't Die last night.

    I loved it.

    I hated it.

    I am hoping that if the crazies in charge ARE successful in creating AGI, it is as indifferent to my existence as I will be to its existence.

    Feeling very much like the protagonist of Victor Lavalle's Ballad of Black Tom; I will take the indifference of a cosmic entity that I cannot understand over the open malice of a society ruled by sociopathic oligarchs and technocrats any day of the week.

    I really love cosmic horror, but I am not so sure I am a fan of living it. The closer we get as a society, collectively, to peering behind the veil--the more the idea of madness as the result of clarity and understanding resonates with me.

  10. Death of heaven — NYC big book award winner for horror — is dark, intense, unapologetic. Cosmic dread. Psychological fractures. No easy exits.

    On the day Evelyn turned eight, Werner Twist pushed her into a mudbank and ruined her favorite dress. The black
    and green one, with a foxhead sewn high up on the collar.
    All his friends laughed, egging him on, and Evelyn got so mad she
    popped right back up and bit him on his stupid face.
    No one laughed after that.
    Down went Werner Twist, and Evelyn with him. He was bigger than
    Evelyn, but she clawed her way on top of him and stayed there. Hit
    him again and again until his nose bled and he cried for his mother.
    She didn’t let up. Not until Mr. Wulf, the town’s constable, pried her
    off him by the scruff of her neck and sent Werner Twist and all his
    friends back to their parents.
    “Is this how you plan to go through life?” asked Mr. Wulf.
    “Yes,” Evelyn snapped, brushing a tangle of muddy black hair from
    her eyes.
    “I think you broke his nose.”
    “Good.”
    He fixed Evelyn with an exhausted look. Exasperation and something
    else—perhaps approval. “I’ll walk you home. The sun will be down
    soon, and the stars are set to turn. They’ll be hungry. Who knows
    what manner of creature they will stir up. There are worse things in
    the dark than Werner Twist.”
    Evelyn shook him loose. “I don’t need your help.”
    A long walk home, all covered in mud. Gentle rain and wind
    whipping across the west field. Bright pops of blue olimander and
    yellow cania glittering in sunlight leaking between the clouds. Evelyn
    heard the sharp iron of her mother’s voice in the back of her head.
    *Olimander for fever, ground to fine powder and mixed with water.
    Yellow cania for toothaches or brittle fingernails, applied as a paste.
    Black cania for those who have offended you.* Everywhere Evelyn
    looked, her mother’s lessons waited, ever-present and
    overwhelming.
    She passed Hook Hill and the gouge where Simon Thymes’ stone
    house once stood, before vanishing without trace or explanation.
    Then a shortcut through Farmer Bagsby’s lands, around the stagnant
    pond in which his two best horses drowned themselves. Grimsby’s
    Hollow was known for oddities and strange occurrences. Although
    the townsfolk loved their gossip, they did not often speak of its
    darker mysteries, such as Tinpot Sally’s murder, or the question of
    what flayed the Gottskrieg boys one spring-tide eve.
    Faeries, probably. Or something worse.

  14. Busy days. Went to see Brandi Carlile @ the Xfinity Center on Tuesday - such a great show. For a stadium show, it felt very intimate. In difficult times it's always nice to be surrounded by queer joy--the whole crowd was on their feet and dancing the entire time.

    Last night was an abbreviated writing night. Made some good progress on the story I'm working on; not 100% sold on it just yet, but, better to make progress than yearn for perfection?

    "A Taste of Starlight" - for the curious.

    A work in progress about class, art, and life on Volgstadt's streets.
