peep the raccoon tails on the bottom literally so cooollll i feel. ignore the messy closet and my roommate's stuff in the corner. just a girl procrastinating doing math hw. took this on my mac.

The Folio Book of Horror Stories, by the Folio Society
A beautiful collection of short horror stories by The Folio Society, published in 2018. Considering most (don't quote me on this!) of these stories are in the public domain or legally accessible online, they can be read online with a quick google search. However, this edition is outright marvelous, and evidently, tons of love has been poured into the creation of it - Corey Brickley's illustrations are divine and it also contains writer and editor Ramsey Campbell's introduction, both of which tie the collection beautifully.
Writing a review of each story wouldn't be too affective, as each is unique on its own. I have read The Yellow Wallpaper and House of Usher and both are beautifully written and depict aspects of supernatural horror (Poe) and psychological horror (Gilman), and the collection provides a great opportunity to expose oneself to short horror stories from the 18th century up until modern times. An awesome book to introduce readers to the different subgenres of horror before deepdiving into full-lenght books! The list of the stories are as follows:
▪︎ The Fall of the House of Usher, by Edgar Allan Poe (1839)
▪︎ The Yellow Wallpaper, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1892)
▪︎ Count Magnus, by M. R. James (1904)
▪︎ The White People, by Arthur Machen (1904)
▪︎ Ancient Lights, by Algernon Blackwood (1912)
▪︎ The Music of Erich Zann, by H. P. Lovecraft (1922)
At long last, here is the official reading list for There'll Be Some Changes Made, and a few recommendations from some of the readers! It's long, so hopefully there's a little something for everyone.
Thank you again to the wonderful readers, both for your encouragement, and for helping me compile this list <3

ONE OF THE MOST UNSPEAKABLE LIVE GRIND RECORDINGS EVER COMMITTED TO VINYL.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the limited edition translucent red vinyl pressing of the "Live At Gilman" 7 inch vinyl release by L.A.-based grindcore band, EXCRUCIATING TERROR. It was recorded at 924 Gilman in Berkeley, CA, on November 9, 1996, and released under the 625 Thrashcore label in 1997.
Not gonna lie, I've heard this once before on YouTube and refuse to listen to it ever again because it pains me so that I'll never be able to own the shit on hard copy. Anyway, this thing tore my head off in mere seconds of its opening, and it's an amazing fucking record of its sub-genre, and its time. Grind freaks!
