Makes me kinda glad I'm not in it, tbh. Jon has me speechless, dude. I had to stop three times while reading. It's-- See, I can't. I just can't.

But dude, you can't compare yourself. He's amazing at his thing, and you're amazing at yours. I get what you're saying, but you have to punch that thought in the nose.

Yeah, you’re right. I’m doing better on that score, believe me. One of your stories helped a ton with that, actually. In any case, two stories in, absolute gold. Can’t wait to see how Lance kicks the bucket!

So proud of all y’all!!! Can’t wait to read, although I’ll have to be patient until I get out of the negative fundage zone. But am very happy and wish this book all the success possible (times infinity ♾️! 😊) The cover of absolutely an inspired piece and I’d even love to see prints of it as artwork. So good!

Just ordered. Looking forward to the wonderful strangeness. This is my second Substack author purchase. It’s a thing.

Thanks, Guy! ❤️ You rule the school! What was your other Substack author purchase?

Yeah, for sure!

My focus has been poetry, so it has been enlightening to see the intricate techniques all of you excellent horror writers use to tell stories.

I dig how the genre of horror (done well), can provide the experience of spinning, or the feel from the tightening of physical spaces, and how by staring into the void, it offers cathartic exercises to feel more calm, and naively, I am most surprised by its ability to so readily provide frames to share social commentary.

The zaniness too, (it’s a carnival); it’s hard to beat.

I bought Dylan T. Bosworth’s “What the Shadows Take,” which is 🧨

Now, I need a Substack row in a bookshelf. Think I’ll throw out all the boring and outdated business and health books.

How many books on Superfoods do I need?

Blueberries. I get it.
