Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror
This one took me a long time to read. Not because it was bad, but because sometimes reading one story was like being hit by a bus, and then I needed a long break before I went back to it. Horror is a reflection of the writer’s struggles, a very open dialogue about the problems…

Ice Cream Man: Sundae Edition, Vol. 1
“I’ve literally never read anything like this ‘genre-defying’ sorta-anthology thing, but it’s f*cking awesome. The writing is strange and deeply unsettling, and the artwork is gorgeous. The new comic I most look forward to reading each month.” –Brian K. Vaughan, Saga Collecting the first twelve issues of the critically acclaimed, best-selling anthology comic ICE CREAM…

To Your Eternity 1-21
I’ve always been somewhat in love with this series. And recently I’ve had the joy to get my digital collection up to date— for a long time I only had the ten volumes from a Humble Bundle—and since I was sick, I figured I would slam it back. And my god, did I weep exactly…

100 Ghost Stories That will Lead to My Own Death
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…

Stab the Rabbit
This book is just a way to alleviate some masculine violence, bro. I’m not joking. It’s got a few stories in it and it takes a juvenile delight in using slurs and doesn’t really have a care for being “politically correct”, as angry male comics would put it. They let you know right in the…

Lady Devil
PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF THE TRIGGER WARNINGS. Finally. I finally finished this story. Once, eons ago, I started reading this while it was updating. It was one of those services where you need to unlock chapters with money each time so I (as usual) fell off the horse. Now I have finally read the whole…

Trigger Warning: Mass Murder
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.
