Why should you read #crimsonthreads? Each book is chocked full about what about horror. Not just scares, gore, and dreadful moments. It tackles the human condition through inhumane circumstances. Horror is where the evil and conflict of daily life becomes a tangible thing we can defeat. Amazon.com/dp/B0BQHBXKSN #horror #horrorbooks #urbanfantasy #darkfantasy

@AliceLBronte That's really good to hear!

@BoxofTeeth I do, almost as often as I write it!

Why don't you read poetry?

When, after infinities of chaos, the first men came, the Great Old Ones spoke to the sensitive among them by moulding their dreams; for only thus could Their language reach the fleshly minds of mammals. Then, whispered Castro, those first men formed the cult around small idols which the Great Ones shewed them; idols brought in dim aeras from dark stars. That cult would never die till the stars came right again, and the secret priests would take great Cthulhu from His tomb to revive His subjects and resume His rule of earth. H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

The same as any positive focused team activity. But it's not a replacement for actual therapy and self-work.

I know it's hard. I also know you can do it.

Deep in his grisly caverns he makes beasts of men and half-men of beasts, mingling bestial with human in ghastly creation. No man dares guess at the horrors that have spawned in the darkness, or what shapes of terror and blasphemy have come into being during the ages Gothan has wrought his abominations; for he is not as other men, and has discovered the secret of life everlasting. He has at least brought into foul life one creature that even he fears, the gibbering, mowing, nameless Thing he keeps chained in the farthest cavern that no human foot save his has trod. Robert E. Howard, The Gods of Bal-Sagoth

But Yuggoth, of course, is only the stepping-stone. The main body of the beings inhabits strangely organised abysses wholly beyond the utmost reach of any human imagination. The space-time globule which we recognise as the totality of all cosmic entity is only an atom in the genuine infinity which is theirs. And as much of this infinity as any human brain can hold is eventually to be opened up to me, as it has been to not more than fifty other men since the human race has existed. H.P. Lovecraft, The Whisperer in Darkness

🚨BREAKING: Scientists have discovered a Fungus in the Amazon called "Pestalotiopsis microspora" that literally feed on plastic. It's not a common fungus. It can survive exclusively on polyurethane, one of the most common(and most persistent) type of plastic - and it does so even in oxygen-free environments, like landfills.
