They should try stuffing pizza crusts with other things, like cemetery dirt or jackalope fur or the ichor of a chthonic god.

And then the phone queues up Death by Metal from Fulci. Random on point tonight.

Carpet Bomb album cover, album name Awaken Terror. Robed death figure holding skull and surrounded by bombs stuck into ground.

Listening to my metal list on random, Carpet Bomb - Awaken Terror, need to get this into rotation more often.

That's the book that made me sit up a bit more and thought I should probably read that.

I'll be quoting Bob Marley lyrics as my confession.

Spelljammer - Abyssal Trip album cover: person in a spacesuit standing in a field with a steel tower and red moon behind them. Neon Nightmare - Faded Dream album cover: what I take as a corporeal person floating in front of a door drawing a white jagged line on the door.

Next up is Spelljammer -
Abyssal Trip and Neon Nightmare - Faded Dream. Some crunchy doom and if anyone is looking to fill their Type O Negative needs look no further than Neon Nightmare's Faded Dream. It spins regularly around here.

Vicious Blade - Relentless Force album cover: Gauntlet holding a skull coming out of ground with a castle in the background. Basement Torture Killings - Lessons in Murder album cover: Bloody eyes staring over police crime scene tape.

Work day music courtesy of Vicious Blade and Basement Torture Killings. Some proper thrash and some pure filth. Turn it up!

The weird thing is, if 100 people reskeet this, the moon will transmogrify into cheese. Sure that sounds fun but the consequences will be dire.

How can I have an order held until my copy of Familiar ships? Is that possible? I keep eyeballing Decrepit Ritual and I Believe in Mr Bones.

Book cover of Santa's Grotto by Gemma Amor, a bloody leaf on dirty blood splattered snow.

"Ho, Ho, Ho.....ly shit!" is right.
Quick, fun, & festive read. I enjoyed reading Santa's Grotto by @manylittlewords.bsky.social. Grab the family and go meet Santa and his elves if you dare.
