Fruitless Bodies: A Collection By J.D. Buffington A Collection By J.D. Buffington

Thank you, Gabino! I’d like to point to my collection of the good, the bad, and the ugly: Fruitless Bodies Annotated. I take my reader along a bumpy ride of my first publications in small press rags to finding my voice through experiments in genre and form, each with personal insights.

My new collection is speculative short stories:

Next to an image of the book cover, text reads "From Cat Voleur, twenty essays about the messy, the problematic, the fabulous," then the book title.

It remains awesome that you use your platform to do this. We recently opened preorders on Cat Voleur's "Queer Tastes: Unconventional Representation in Horror Films."

A copy of LITTLE RED FLAGS: STORIES OF CULTS, CONS, AND CONTROL edited by Noelle W. Ihli and Steph Nelson. Cover features a sinister-looking man holding a puppet of a woman in a red dress on his palm, while his other hand holds the strings. MWA-HA-HA!

Thanks Gabino!

I'm especially mad about the horrors of white Christian Nationalism today, so would love it if more people read Tradwife and got (constructively) angry with me

Thanks for hosting, G!

Intrigued by the Faces of Death remake. I have a complicated relationship w/ the OG, which I discussed on The Scares That Shaped Us. Supposedly this version sat on the shelf because execs found it too experimental, which is music to my ears. I've enjoyed both of Daniel Goldhaber's previous films.

Very cool book!

Great flick!

This joke has aged like a fine wine.

I finally got to read BETWEEN TWO FIRES and have a conversation with @buehlmeister.bsky.social about this medieval horror epic.

We get into into history, Biblical mystery, myth and epic poetry... plus the sweet drunken joy of a Renaissance fair.

All podcast places - enjoy!
