My favorite reads for the month of January include:
T. E. D. Klein's novel, THE CEREMONIES,
Junji Ito's graphic novel, REMINA,
"N" by Arthur Machen,
"Ruminants" by Kay Chronister,
and "Flying" by Julia Elliot.
My complete reading list for January is here: www.weirdmurmur.com/p/reading-di...
A new murmur about Junji Ito's REMINA. Ironically, cosmic horror can show just how *significant* we are in terms of the terror and suffering we are capable of inflicting.

Here's a murmur about a wonderful Mark Samuels short story, "Apartment 205." Samuels reveals the maddening, terrifying truth, but the story still retains all of its horror.

I liked all of the movies that I watched in December. A good dose of ghosts and rural gothic:

A murmur about a great short story collected in Michael Kelly's The Best Weird Fiction of the Year Vol. 1, @undertow.bsky.social. Among other things, Charlotte Tierney's "A Woman's Place Is in the Haunted Home" reveals things about anxiety that only fiction can.

Here is a short murmur about a new story that is one of my favorite weirds of the year!

A murmur about Robert W. Chambers' prequel to "The Yellow Sign": the short story "The White Shadow."

As I was thinking through the cool monsters in Erdelac's stories about John Conquer, the comparison suddenly struck me: Conquer is Silver John set in Harlem 1976!
Looking forward to the book, and I'm happy to see Hiron Ennes' "Our Best Selves" in the TOC! That and their story "The Breath of Kannask" were two of my personal favorites from 2024. @hironennes.bsky.social
Hello?? THE WORKS OF VERMIN is one of Lit Hubs Most Anticipated books of (the rest of) 2025--"Truly on par with Vandermeer and Miéville, an absolute thrill to read."

I love how you take the Hodgson/Houdini controversy and turn it into a Hodgsonian weird tale. Marvelous!(great title too: "Bellow of the Steamship Cow")
Hello worms and bugs and people,
apparently the Audible version of LEECH is downpriced to $6.99 on Audible from TODAY, July 1 (Canada day, so you should buy it to punish America), to July 13th!!!! (Also a good day to punish America)

Table full of gamers playing ‘Of Hearth & the Harrowing’ at ChaosiumCon 2025.
What a great way to start the con! The players and I had a great time. Some Corrupted were killed and one angry wild pig. Some fumbles were rolled! Some criticals were rolled, one from a fumble against another hero! I am so happy right now. Maybe Tomas will find his tavern by the end of the con.
