Re: We are Happy, We are Doomed by Kurt Fawver

Re: Feature-length screenplay based on Purity by Thomas Ligotti

Re: Best books on religion, horror, and the supernatural

Thanks, Jon. When there was a sudden rush of sign-ups with weirdly anonymous-sounding handles in recent days, I had wondered whether it was an influx of bots.
