Our Lady of Holy Slaughter by S.J. Shank “Shank combines the dangers of being lost behind enemy lines and the brutality of holy war with less ostensibly mundane threats, creating supernatural horror that is as much about belief as survival.” More thoughts: https://davidjhiggins.wordpress.com/2026/09/18/our-lady-of-holy-slaughter-by-s-j-shank/ #horror #supernatural #historical #novella

Primordial Dawn: Book 1 by Baileigh Higgins & Marc Jooste “Higgins and Jooste blend the dangers of powerful predators with the dangers of losing one’s support structure, creating post-apocalyptic fiction that features dramatic combat without sacrificing realism. “Note: while one of the authors is blessed with a spiffing surname we are unrelated.” More thoughts: https://davidjhiggins.wordpress.com/2026/10/16/primordial-dawn-book-1-by-baileigh-higgins-marc-jooste/ #PostApocalyptic #Sci...

The Dark Forest of Aneth by Stephanie Flint “Flint combines a few realistically skilled protagonists with the possibility that seemingly minor changes made now could have significant impacts later, creating a fantasy tale that can be read as both a character-driven solving of local issues and a turning point in the history of the world.” More thoughts: https://davidjhiggins.wordpress.com/2026/10/22/the-dark-forest-of-aneth-by-stephanie-flint/ #fantasy

Hey #RMV Ich bin mir sicher das kriegt ihr besser hin: Austausch der Rolltreppen an der S-Bahn Galluswarte ist super. Dass die verbleibende Rolltreppe nach unten fährt, und damit keine nach oben, ist nicht so toll. Und der Absperrzaun verschenkt ungefähr einen halben Meter Platz, der der Treppe an Breite empfindlich fehlt. Wollt' ihr nochmal gucken gehen, wie ihr den Fahrgästen das Leben leichter machen könnt? Der Spaß dauert ja noch bis kurz vor Weihnachten. #SBahn #ffm

artist's signature bottom right says "C. Broutin", couldn't find a title. I think it's this person https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Broutin man I used to freak myself out when I was a kid, there were some years where I couldn't sleep for imagining monsters. 🤣 Maybe the monstrous things that I imagine now are just as painful though. That person I like doesn't like me, they think I meant this when I really meant this, am I going...

The Tribes, Antoni Tàpies, 1949 This is on the spooky side. They had to scratch those lines in, the power of essential nature had to be emphasized that way maybe. like this world has multiple layers or that there is a strange fey magic creeping around 🤣 #art #scratched #etched #spooky #impish #elfin #spark #odd #strange

Moins de Lumiere, Serena Malyon: https://bsky.app/profile/serenamalyon.bsky.social This is really cool. She has a shovel in a field at night! The atmosphere is really good, the dark clouds, the distant little house with a light on. I think the wind has snagged her skirt a little bit. Who has got her in their spotlight? Aliens? Cops? The Mob? Another parent in the PTA? Love it. #art #spooky #mystery #shovel #hijinks #night #blinded #armed #withAShovel

The Storm, George Inness, 1885 I read this as creepy when I saw it. Inadvertently creepy maybe. The storm makes the whole scene dark but I think it's the shadowy tree and the person walking. Idk I'm seeing like some kind of evil riding in on the storm and making everyone crazy (or were they already crazy?) and then one thing leads to another and lightning strikes the wrong person at the wrong time and suddenly it's a slasher and there's blood everywhere 🤣 #a...

El Reposo Del Trovador (Troubador's rest), Julio Ruelas this is funny because the title sounds pleasant enough. Hate to wake up to that! haha. I like the gruesome little images along the border. Maybe this is an illustration for a story, idk, it has that kind of feel to me... #art #illustration #spooky #gruesome #vampire #ghoul #creature #siesta #cemetery #creepy

Hamlet and the Ghost, Frederic James Shields such a cool ghostly atmosphere. Some weather seems to be just right for ghosts and I think he got it, or pointed to that experience. To me that's a good ghost, also, sort of translucent and maybe hovering a little. Seems like there might or might not be other spirits about in the fog. #art #tragedy #ghost #dad #hamlet #fog #spooky #haunted #revenge #justice #undead

Ghost of Yugao, Yoshitoshi so elegantly done, really impressive. The creeping vine with its little seeking, curling tendrils looking for something to grab on to. and I think the ghost is aware of our presence. I've seen enough to know that a jump scare is right around the corner 😂 #art #woodblock #ukiyo-e #japan #spooky #ghost #creeping #vine #moonlight #haunted

A male skeleton on his knees before a female skeleton (vignette for the feast of the dead), José Guadalupe Posada, ca. 1892 Image included in the broadsheet "La calavera de cupido" (Imprenta de A. Vanegas Arroyo, ca. 1892). love this guy Posada. I have a couple of Posada books. Calaveras, they're already skeletons. The living are already dead. The texture and the attention apparent in the rough engravings gives everything so much character, maybe some kind of fun...

The Night Shift, Marianne Von Werefkin spooky atmosphere, colors are so amazing. Seems like a place where you'd find a body hidden in the shadows from some kind of mad scientist serial killer. The twin globes of the streetlights give maybe an unconscious association with eyes. Even if it's not a horror scene, look at the working people going in for the night shift, their heads down, exploited, cold. 👻 #art #workingClass #exploited #cold #spooky #atmosphere #twisted #color #...

The Dream of Reason Produces Monsters (El Sueño de la Razon Produce Monstruos), from Los Caprichos, Francisco de Goya, 1799 Something interesting in the comparison of Reason and dreams of monsters. I've read various things here and there that talk about Reason as being incomplete.... Our primate consciousness has big unreasonable feelings maybe. #art #goya #spooky #monstruos #nightmares #dreams #sleep #october #owls #bats #things
