My tribute to the dark art master:::: “HR Giger” 2025 oil + acrylic … #h... youtube.com/shorts/t21DXC9… via @YouTube

A visionary artist and self-proclaimed witch whose life and work challenged societal norms in mid-20th century Australia, Rosaleen Norton drew from traditions like trance and sex magic to celebrate ancient gods and explore mystical and spiritual realms.

It’s Lammas in the southern hemisphere. Here’s a piece I’ve been working on, my dedication to Giger #esotericart #darkart #giger

@MitchHorowitz Left one for sure !!

One of my proudest achievements in publishing was issuing a fully corrected edition of this esoteric classic. We used two different covers. Which do you prefer?

Authors: take heart that if you're ever at a book signing where no one (or nearly no one) shows, you're far from alone: been there and, believe me, it's an invisible dues payment. Go in the bathroom, wipe your eyes, go out and give the best damn talk you've ever delivered to the book clerk.

In honor of National One-Hit Wonder Day, what's your favorite one-hit wonder?

I'm writing today about kennings in Old English. Essentially these are two word-metaphors that were used instead of concrete nouns, and they are exquisite. A ship was a 'wave-horse', the sea was a 'whale-road', the mind was a 'thought-chamber', and the sun was a 'sky-candle'.
