Do you like silly sci-fi novels?

Look no further than Tales from a Mall!

Physical copy | Ebook + Sneak-peek | Masterpost

Come explore the Fresh Malls, a 22nd century establishment where ferrets have mechanical attachments, people have tails, and there's no shortage of products to buy!

Just ignore the radioactive rat infestation and the fact that people have started to disappear... There's nothing to worry about at all :)

This good boy finally calls out a hit on Cruella.

According to a disreputable source, James Williamson, the underground publishing magnate and visionary avant-garde pornographer behind Creation Books, tragically passed away in his Bangkok hovel last month.

Williamson died from complications arising from a perforated colon after spending the night with Mistress Nong Champain, lead performer at the illustrious Club 27cm. The attending physician Dr. Benway (who unsurprisingly was left unpaid) is quoted as saying "He died like he lived: full of shit."

Contemporary weird fiction reading list

A chart of New Weird books and other bizarre, unsettling, and uncanny literature published in the last 30 years or so. This is a follow-up to my previous chart of classic weird fiction and another selection from my list of over 200 works of weird literature.

guys have I shown you my favorite evil book yet?

random numbers are missing from every page

I found this at the Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur, which tends to carry a lot of obscure indie books along with reprints of classics. This was sitting on the piano (?) all by itself, no other copies and nothing else like it. The chaos glut in me couldn’t resist the siren call of a cursed object lol.

Inspired by the Area X trilogy (or Southern Reach trilogy).

I'm sure some character has gone through this transformation at some point in the story.

I made a list to collect the truly weird books I've been collecting on my TBR! (suggestions very much accepted!)
