The Tell-Tale Heart, The Gift of the Magi, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavaras County, Thank You Ma'am
the box social by james reaney. i remember we all had to silently read it in class, and you would hear the moment everyone reached the Part because some people would audibly go “what”
wHat did I just put my eyes on
“The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury
Not quite a short story, but read in class: “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street” from The Twilight Zone
Harrison Bergeron, Cat and the Coffee Drinkers
“Where are you going and where have you been” by Joyce carol oates
“The Pedestrian” by Ray Bradbury
the lottery by shirley jackson
i can’t believe Roald Dahl’s “The Landlady” wasn’t already mentioned and also it’s not so much unsettling as more absurdist but “The Leader” by Eugene Ionesco definitely made me go wtf
Ett halvt ark papper. I cried so much.
Ночь у мазара, А. Шалимов
A Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury
I Have no Mouth, and I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison
The Lottery by Shirley Jackson
All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury
Some of Us Had Been Threatening Our Friend Colby, by Donald Barthelme
I read Ray Bradbury’s “All Summer In A Day” in seventh grade (it wasn’t assigned, I was just going through my textbook for new stuff to read) and as a bullied kid with SAD, it Fucked Me Up.
An Ordinary Day with Peanuts, by Shirley Jackson
Eh, this was more like community college, but The Star by Arthur C. Clarke
Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl
and this story that I can’t remember the name of and can’t find, though it might be by O. Henry? it’s about a bunch of demons who want to stop Santa Claus from going through with Christmas, and he must travel through the mountains they inhabit to escape their vices? (good christ I can’t remember the name for the life of me)
Ok but the laughing man and a good day for bananafish but j.d. Salinger
The City (195) Ray Bradbury. An intense commentary on colonialism and space exploration. I read it for a sci fi survey class.
Another short story I read in that sci fi class was Vaster than Empires and More Slow (1971) by Ursula K. Le Guin. A commentary on humanity and how human we believe ourselves to be. Also, an interesting commentary on mental health.
In the Woods Beneath the Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom, written in 1947 by Ango Sakaguchi. It made my skin crawl the first time I read it.
Also going to recommend For A Breath I Tarry by Roger Zelazny, a commentary on whether AI can become human in a future without humans: http://www.kulichki.com/moshkow/ZELQZNY/forbreat.txt
whoever posted “The Laughing Man” and “A Good Day For Bananafish” is Correct

The Two Bottles of Relish by Lord Dunsany
A short story about a whole village succumbing to witch hysteria and it starting with someone vomiting up beeswax and bees and ending with an absolutely haunting description of the last of the “witch”’s tendons snapping and crackling in the fire and the people dispersing like waking out of some dream and not like, fully realising or caring what they’d just done to a twelve year old girl. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS STORY AGAIN SINCE 2004. so if anyone can help me I would appreciate it a lot.
God bless Mr Wallace, the teacher of Dark Fiction (the class I specifically asked for from the Creative Writing department). That man knew how to pick a story that stays with you for the rest of your damn life. We also read The Landlady in that class, which was the first I’d read Roald Dahl writing for adults.
Jack London, specifically White Fang and To Build a Fire
The Red Pony, John Steinbeck
There was another book we were assigned, about an orphaned First Nations/Native boy who becomes a rodeo star fueled by rage, and I cannot for the life of me remember anything else about it. Would have been written before 1985 or so.
My silly Good Omens comic!
somebody hug him
A gomen a day keeps the dread of corporeal existence away
gingerlizzard on twitter made a gorgeous kissing gif and I wanted to try my hand at animating a kiss too
Here we are, GO day, 30 minutes before Good Omens 2 airs finally! Grabs your snacks, get comfy and Enjoy the show! I'll see you all on the other side 😉

Happy Watching!
The Fall - (2023)
Inspired by The Lament for Icarus by Herbert James Draper.
Remember that this is not the proof that they love each other
That was a last-ditch attempt from Crowley to get Aziraphale to stay
This is the proof that they love each other
Their love wasn't just made real because they kissed
It always existed
this is so fucking funny. im going to say "here come the locusts" everytime something goes wrong now
"🤨"
girl help the eldritch horrors are organising a pride and prejudice party and making us dance to mirror their forbidden and repressed love. yes there is a michael jackson thriller video reenactment outside trying to get in. no yeah i still want that rare doctor who annual
