damn, 'It' by Stephen King opens with like forty quotes in a row, mostly from classic rock songs
everybody says they were scared to go in Kim's. somebody should do an oral history of Kim's by the people who worked there.
it's cool how much they're talking about Kim's, the terrifying / intimidating video store on st marks I used to love / fear / not be able to afford to buy anything from when I lived in new york
Oh I also #amreading #ILostItAtTheVideoStore (A Filmmakers' #OralHistory of a Vanished Era) by #TomRoston on my phone. I'm super enjoying it but I'm old and have a thing for video stores from when I was a kid/teener so take my opinion with a grain of salt
Oh yeah #introductions! I'm white, deep into my late thirties, trans, one of my kid's two moms, and i live in new england. I'm a sort of subculturally visible author, which is part of why I like the anonymity of masto.
i grew up reading #horror - i read every #deankoontz, #stephenking and #loisduncan book in the school and public libraries - got off track with litfic for a decade or two, but now that work and writing and kid leave me way less time for reading, I'm prioritizing horror again.
typo in the first toot on this account. nice
hi! I'm reading Acceptance, the third book in the southern reach trilogy by jeff vandermeer. I liked how ligotti the second book got in places, and while this one isn't as concerned with like management structures and the evolutions of office cultures. (if you haven't read it, I swear it's not as boring as that might make it sound.) I'm stoked to see how he wraps up the trilogy.
