100 Ghost Stories That will Lead to My Own Death
by
Anji Matono
I am a sucker for ghost story anthologies like this. Some stories linger, some flop, and then you have the framework to wonder about as well. Also, sometimes fun art. The conceit is that a grade schooler, depressed and suicidal, was told about these 100 ghost stories. He’ll summon a real ghost if he manages…

New World: An Anthology of Sci-Fi and Fantasy
by
Aaah… what a stupendous collection, with so many big names in comics! My favorite in this anthology ended up being Written in Stone, by Carla Speed McNeil. I ended up reading it three times back to back, and then once more before I put down the book. (I reread it when I opened the book…

Darlin’
by
Olivia Stephens
This is a short werewolf story and gods, it’s gorgeous. The linework is nice, and the main characters are great. And finding out that there’s a greater story descended from this one??? AUTHOR’S NOTE:This comic functions as a spiritual (rather than canonical/chronological) predecessor to my current long-form comic, DARLIN’ AND HER OTHER NAMES. This original comic is a loose…

The Herbalist and the Landlord
by
Bwillett
Honestly, I think this counts as a zine as well. Where did I even get this? It’s a mystery.* I ended up reading it more than once— literally I read it, then read it again, and then when I went to write about it, I read it agia . It’s a short 21 pager. The…

Alicia’s Diet Quest 1
by
Aoi Fujiwara
I don’t like this. Sigh. You’re joking. I’m dropping this. I got 1 and 2 as part of a Humble Bundle ages ago and I thought it would be about healthy eating and such but instead it’s just… making fun of a girl desperate to lose weight… a girl who is… skinny… Like, I got…

ED Shachou to Bishonure Cinderella

Envy
Now that I have that out of my system— Okay, for real this time. The ML is a sad sack who can’t get it up until he meets shortstack sweaty girl MC. When he smells the delicious smell of her sweat, porno vision turns on and he goes batshit. This is hilarious. It’s so stupid.…

Welcome to the Menagerie.
Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.
What is M?
I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
