"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of the infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far."
- H. P. Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

More skeletal trees as Black Metal typography. Photos treated using Midjourney AI. These begin to morph into symbolic shapes. The sense of ominous stillness, and languages not forged by humans, is at once very Weird Lit, and the distillation of the Black Metal vibe that band logotypes strive toward.

I finished #reading #AChristmasCarol on #Christmas Eve.

#CharlesDickens is now one of my favorite #authors.

His love for his fellow human being leaps from the text.

In 2023, I'm absolutely going to spend more time reading #ghoststories, #gothicliterature, #folklore, and #WeirdLiterature.

We can find so much of ourselves in great #stories and #books.

#storyoftheweek: THE RIDER, by #brianevenson. published in the incomparable WEIRD HORROR MAGAZINE (@Undertow)

a man in need. a quiet, quiet, quiet suburb. a family, or something like it, settling down for dinner.

a black-and-white, hatchmark-heavy illustration by artist dan rempel. it shows a man in a doorway. he wears a neutral expression, his hands at his sides. seated on his shoulders, half-hidden in shadow, a small boy glares out at the viewer. he has one hand gripping, tightly, onto the man's hair, the other hand upon the man's cheek.
