You and I, Dear Stranger

A hopeful message (after the next paragraph):

I’m anxious and emotionally ill sometimes. Lacking purpose. Fucking scared! Social media is suffering a brain bleed. A.I. vertigo is real. The internet feels noisy and inhuman. Earth is an expiring egg. My phone screen is a bad window, making me wonder: Is that how people really are??

But you and I, dear stranger, know there’s an Otherworld waiting to be explored.

Imagine reaching out to others without algorithms, ad junk, ugly comments, and corporate crap-factories. Years ago, they called it “mail” or “books” or “human contact.” In the late 90s, it was called “the world wide web.” You could find stuff you liked. People you related to.

Would you like that more? I would.

If you’ve found this blog, we may have things in common. A love of horror books and movies. An ear for dark music. Strange personal experiences.

Here, I’ll be sharing quick, dark, weird material you might like. There’s also an occasional email digest. You can sign up at the end of this post.

I hope you like what I’m offering, and I hope you share back now and then. You know… “mail” and “human contact.” I’ll try to answer somehow.
