I know the blog is kind of dead but do you think there are enough John Cleaver fans to keep a Discord server from dying? I am seeking my fellows

you never know! let's see what the stats are - if you would be into a JWC discord, comment, like, reblog, etc.

You can never have too many posters, especially when each is so different. This one is by my friend David Wyatt and I’m so so happy with it. Feeling like a French Bande Dessinee comicbook and how fantastic would IANASK be as a French comicbook?! David has illustrated Tolkien books, Terry Pratchett books, Philip Pullman ones, and many many books like the Mortal Engines series, The Larklight Trilogy as well as incredible paintings of Dartmoor where we both live. 

Tintin meets Rear Window. 

This is going on my wall along with Marauder’s one.

As the weeks turned into months, the investigation continued, but eventually they realized that the killings had stopped for good, and Clayton County slowly crept back toward a semblance of normality. Still, speculation was common, and the theories grew wilder with time: maybe it was a drifter or a thrill killer; maybe it was a hit man harvesting organs for the black market; maybe it was a devilish cult that used the victims in unspeakable rituals. People wanted the explanation to be as big and flashy as the killings themselves, but the truth was far more terrifying: true terror doesn’t come from giant monsters, but from small, innocent-looking people. People like Mr. Crowley. People like me.

““Killing is its own reason,” I said. “There’s something inside of a serial killer that’s hungry, or empty, and killing is how they fill it. Calling it murder makes it … cheap. It makes it sound stupid.””

— John Cleaver,  I Am Not A Serial Killer by Dan Wells (via ksmisfittoys-blog)

“But I’m good now. I promise. I’ve killed, and whatever blood-lust I used to have is sated. I wake up in the morning and I go to my tutor and I go to my counseling and I go to my job with the FBI, helping to track down other killers, and I say the right things and I do the right things and nobody’s afraid of me and everything is good. I watch travel shows. I cook. I do logic puzzles to keep myself occupied. And then sometimes at night I go to the butcher shop and I buy the biggest roast they have and I bring it home and I cover the room in plastic and I hack the meat to pieces with a kitchen knife, slashing and ripping and chopping and grunting until there’s nothing left but scraps. Then I roll up the plastic, meat and blood and all, and I throw it away and everything is clean and calm again. “Because I’m good now. "I promise.”

— John Wayne Cleave, The Devil’s Only Friend by Dan Wells

John: Hey, Mr. Crowley! How would you like to take a walk nowhere in particular while wearing a blindfold?

Mr. Crowley: Meh, beats just sitting around being old.

“ Adolescence can be a difficult time. It’s normal to be drawn to death and murder, but you can go too far down that road, too far away from normal.”

13 Iirsh Horrors: Day 4/13

I Am Not a Serial Killer (2016) is a little (horror-themed) brother to Donnie Darko, with a similar Midwestern setting and a similarly alienated protagonist. Also: Christopher Lloyd!

I almost dressed up as my mother, but I was worried about what my therapist would say.

Nathan: It’s my birthday, the most fun day of the year, something you wouldn’t understand because you’re not programmed to feel joy.

John: Yes, but my software is due for an exuberance upgrade.

Nathan: You know, when you play along with the robot jokes, it kinda ruins my enjoyment of them.

John: Yes, I know.
