The Affected by James McNally
"McNally adds nuances of character and world to the classic tale of a mysterious force slowly turning neighbours into potential enemies. Containing both brutal violence and subtle dread it offers something for fans of both visceral and cerebral horror."

I haven't seen MARSHALL yet, but the score/soundtrack album by Marcus Miller is damn good.
The standout track is "Let America Be America Again".

Langston Hughes is still telling the truth.
#WeirdHookMonth Mind Fuckery
Yrartnoc, Demon of Broken Mirrors, suffers the opposite of any action directed at him. Many a stupid barbarian has died when an attack instead healed him. Many a smug scholar when a healing spell cast on him instead harmed the caster.
This both inspires and en-dance-ifies me.

Finally managed to watch A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night.
An exceptional take on #vampires; the balance of inhuman age and stunted maturation felt creepy-right; and the loneliness was aching.
Also an engaging insight into part of #Iran.
And a complex #FemaleLead
Loved it so much, I almost watched it again straight away.

#WeirdHookMonth Sleeplessness
Advances in neuroscience have made sleep replacement more efficient. Less than four hours of daily overtime is now seen as disloyalty. The Dreamers claim the cost is even greater than mere slavery, but also that vaccines kill.

#WeirdHookMonth Missing Things
When you woke this morning, the adults over sixty were gone from the village. Everyone looks at you oddly when you ask, and reminds you Gaffer Michaels died last winter. Next weekend is your mother's sixtieth birthday.

#WeirdHookMonth Odd Odours
In what they term a humanitarian gesture, Almester-Veridian have added a bacon scent to the free kibble rations distributed to those on welfare. A rash of disappearances started in your district the day after. All the missing were obese.
I'll be posting new art soon! Stay tuned! Until then here is some older work I did! #art #conceptart #mastoart#creativetoot #illustration #sketch #oldwork #creativeart #creature #creaturedesign

#WeirdHookMonth Bourgeois
The Cities, bastions against the wastes and horrors left over from the War, maintain a constant population. As a Prole you may work but must leave each evening. Your boss dies in front of you; dare you claim his residency?
