  1. CW: spoilers: The Dark Is Rising

    @liztai

    "fight battles  to get more strength levels"

    I'm very over this approach - so many hours playing Diablo computer game?

    Strangely the earliest example I've found is a British mytho-fantasy book series called The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper that first appeared in 1965.

    Otherwise excellent, the repeated, inevitable victory by the books' main characters becomes increasingly irksome.

  2. Mastodetiquette seems to suggest I introduce myself, so... By day I'm a figure skating music editor @skatingmusicguy, in my spare time I make #hauntology #electronicmusic using #folkinstruments #kantele #xaphoon #saxophone #analoguesynths #modularsynth #Lyricon #oscillators #vintagemusicalinstruments #bitsofoldrubbish and #randomitemsIfoundinaskip. My album #TheDarkIsRising (radiophonic 1970s-ish soundtrack to the #SusanCooper book) came out on #cassette 2018, digital 2019, and on vinyl v soon!

  3. Here's my #bookstodon (first) post, of my most beloved, foundational, formatively lifechanging fav sff authors, some of whom (most recently McKillip, & Lee) have headed off to unknown destinations, leaving me re-reading like crazy, doing my part to keep them in the world.
