“What do you believe in?” “What’s around me,” said Kim’s father instantly. “Not politics disguised as panaceas, not poets trying to be philosophers. This house. My job. Reality.” https://library.hrmtc.com/2026/05/13/what-do-you-believe-in-whats-around-me-said-kims-father-instantly-not-politics-disguised-as-panaceas-not-poets-trying-to-be-philosoph/ #aroundMe #believeIn #book #disguised #FantasyAnthologiesShortStories #HorrorCollectionsAnthologies #HorrorFictionClassics #house #job #panaceas #philosophers #poets #politics #quote #RamseyCampbell #reality #tryingToBe -

One of the great things about reading anthologies of horror fiction is spotting the bit in the story where the protagonist has a choice to make and makes the patently stupid one; in the case of a story I finished recently it was replying "Why yes of course" to some randomer saying "I see you are reading a book about witchcraft - would you like to come back to my place and take part in a real life magic ritual?"

Literally & metaphorically, the Sun is gaslighting us. We're in a relationship with a bi-polar Solar partner. It gives us light but also makes shadows. There's light we can't see! What's Sol hiding? We're told to fear the dark, but Night is when we rest! What to do, what to do..?

Latest read, Find My Name (2013) by Ramsey Campbell, from Fearie Tales. A grandmother must save her orphaned grandson, as his birthday approaches, from a monstrous dwarf in this excellent, frightening variation of Rumpelstiltskin.

Hallo und guten Tag, ich bin auf dieser Instanz #NeuHier. Ich bin zwar nicht von meinem “Heimatserver” berlin.social weggezogen (dort drüben bin ich als @FrauBluecher unterwegs), habe aber vor, hier einen Schrebergarten für Gelaber über Musik und Literatur einzurichten, welches dann doch mehr als 500 Zeichen pro Post benötigt. Dafür wird mein mangels Interaktion brach liegender Wordpress-Blog schlafen gelegt.
Den ständigen Empörungsmodus von Twitter möchte ich hier definitiv nicht weiter pflegen, deshalb tröte ich seit meinem Umzug zu Mastodon bewusst unpolitisch − und sehr viel entspannter. Gute Musik, horrible und fantastische Literatur und Handygeknipse sind bislang meine Themen, und meine Nerven danken es mir. Auch aus diesem Grund werden Leerdenker & Co. ohne weitere Diskussion geblockt, sobald sie sich zu erkennen geben, ich habe keinen Bedarf, Lebenszeit mit sinnlosen Diskussionen zu verschwenden.

Hello and good day, I am #NewHere on this instance. I haven't moved away from my "home server" berlin.social (over there I'm @FrauBluecher), but I'm planning to set up an allotment here for banter about music and literature that requires more than 500 characters per post. In exchange, my Wordpress blog, which is lying dormant for lack of interaction, will be put to sleep.
I definitely don't want to continue the constant outrage mode of Twitter here, so since moving to Mastodon, I've been deliberately tooting non-politically - and much more relaxed. Good music, horror and scifi literature and mobile phone photography have been my main topics so far, and my nerves thank me for it. Also for this reason, "empty thinkers" aka covidiots, right-winger & co. are blocked without further discussion as soon as they make themselves known; I have no need to waste life time with pointless discussions.
Extra viel Liebe für / extra love for:
