The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux

Another Phantom! But this time, it’s a rebind for a friend. I experimented with inkjet canvas. It feels and looks pretty legit. I sprayed the case down with varnish to seal and protect the colors. I added these metal corner protectors that have bats on them because bats are one of their favorite animals.

This was also my first time adding a pocket to the end paper of a book. I was asked to preserve the front of the original soft cover, so now it has a spot right inside!

The cover art was originally painted by artist Annie Stegg Gerard.

@sherbertilluminated there's a line somewhere in Ursula Vernon's Digger that goes something like "it is difficult to be metaphysical around the truly geologically minded"

lowkey one of the most affecting sentences i have ever read. I have never been able to get it out of my head and i dont understand what it is trying to convey at all.

I told myself that if I ever need anything to paint I should pick the first photo I see on my dash and paint it and this was the first one so I committed.

Shout out to thriftbooks because not only was I able to find an original 1987 printing of communion, but this insane newspaper clipping was inside it! 🤯

I love having a little piece of paranormal history, its why I collect vintage paranormal books in the first place. This is so damn cool, I have half a mind to laminate it to keep it preserved lol 👀🛸👽

I've never loved anyone as much as I love Ursula Le Guin

Ok I guess if you want to get really absolutely technical about it, I guess Martin Luther's 95 Theses were a zine. I guess. I suppose.

does ringo starr still have the elf stones or did he return them to the silverwood? i know there was a pressure campaign a few years back

[beemovieerotica]

obligatory I'm Not An Elf but the pressure campaign always struck me as well-intentioned but misguided - like at a certain point it veered somewhat into an overzealous application of cultural appropriation without recognizing the context in which he came into possession of the elf stones. *generally* if I come across a human with an elven artifact then I'm side-eyeing that shit hard, but Ringo was very deliberately gifted the elf stones in a gesture of goodwill and cultural exchange (plus gratitude for everything he did!!!). I know 2016 was a different time altogether but idk I think about that a lot.
