Best Horror Films of 2024

For those of you who don't know, I self-published my first horror novel in both ebook and paperback on Kindle, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo. It's a YA cosmic horror novel called Many Arms Unfold Us, and my pseudonym is Diavolo Ray. Please follow me on tiktok, instagram, bluesky, and Goodreads.

Summer Indie Music 2024

Tough putting this together. Maybe it'll get you through the winter months. I can't help gravitating toward retro sounds in new music, whether it's psych, new wave, glam, funk, disco, yacht, or classic rock. The most important think is it's happier and more danceable than the weepy crap most indie artists seem obsessed with. It's been a twenty-year navel gaze and so many boxes of tissue. They say the best art comes in times of suffering. Maybe the newly-elected chaos regime will wake artists up from their trauma porn and make them commit to bringing joy back into the world. Like Kamala's campaign. Sometimes you gotta be the only light.
