General

also there's nowhere to put "podcasts" so here's some podcasts I like:
the magnus archives, alice isn't dead, the milkman of st gaff's, the penumbra podcast (juno steel's side), the mistholme museum of mystery morbidity and mortality, the black tapes, tanis, the deca tapes, unwell, the silt verses, old gods of appalachia, the bright sessions, ghost wax, and some of the qcode ones.

Movies

horror: grave encounters, may, the dentist, society (brian yuzna vs the upper-middle class is *chef kiss*), american mary, sick nurses, as above so below, resident evil, silent hill, event horizon, house of 1,000 corpses, ghost ship, candyman, the thing, oculus, etc.

i'm particularly fond of body horror, what do you want.

*do I actually love this show, or do I just love Hamish Linklater? Either way.

Books

i'm a genres guy. i like a lot of horror (grew up on stephen king, surprise), and i enjoy some weirder stuff, but i'm also very fond of the domestic thriller genre (e.g. gone girl, the girl on the train, the wives, etc.) they're like potato chips.

a few books that I find of particular note:
-the dark tower series -'snuff' - chuck palahniuk -'earthlings' - sayaka murata (also 'convenience store woman') -'annihilation' jeff vandermeer -'house of leaves' - mark z. danielewski [i am definitely forgetting something very important oh no]

other things i like to read:
manga - chainsaw man, delicious dungeon, the way of the househusband, basically anything by junji ito, etc.
graphic novels - eat the rich, sex criminals, watchmen, scott pilgrim
webcomics/webtoons - everything is fine, what happens next, surviving romance, homestuck

Heroes

chuck tingle.

that's literally it. chuck tingle is my hero and a huge inspiration and i appreciate his existence and his art so much.


otherwise, it's folks i know in real life. and me.
