“The air itself is desperate to hold me back, because I can break it, because I am the tip of the spear. The pain-sharpened blade.”

My Roommate Is a Vampire by Jenna Levine

«Sam and Scott would take me in. Getting them to believe my roommate was a vampire might be difficult, but— No. Getting them to believe my roommate was a vampire would be impossible. Sam was a lawyer, and Scott was an academic. They didn’t have enough imagination between them to change a light bulb. And I’d always been the eccentric friend. The one who could throw killer bachelor parties and collected existential crises like Pokémon, but who was perennially messing up in most important areas of her life. They’d probably think I was delusional if I told the truth.»

And, yes, okay, he was a vampire. That did present some legitimate challenges. But that didn't change how good he was or the fact that I wanted him more than I'd ever wanted anyone in my life.

first-time caller by b. k. borison

i like that. thinking that I’m worth paying attention to. something ordinary made extraordinary by the person you’re sharing it with.

New commission, just off to the printer!

I’ve only read one of these I’m afraid (Wilde) but I loved drawing this, good colourful covers and I’m pleased how it turned out.

“I think books are sexy,” she says very seriously. “No one at school has quite lived up to Aragorn yet.”

“What do you think, Samantha?” Fosco asks me. That it’s a piece of pretentious shit. That it says nothing, gives nothing. That I don’t understand it, that probably no one does and no one ever will. That not being understood is a privilege I can’t afford. That I can’t believe this woman got paid to come here. That I think she should apologize to trees. Spend a whole day on her knees in the forest, looking up at the trembling aspens and oaks and whatever other trees paper is made of with tears in her languid eyes and say, I’m fucking sorry. I’m sorry that I think I’m so goddamned interesting when it is clear that I am not interesting. Here’s what I am: I’m a boring tree murderess. But I look at Vignette, at Creepy Doll, at Cupcake, the Duchess. All of them staring at me now with shy smiles. “I think I’d like to see more of the soup too,” I hear myself say.”
