God I love your writing voice and the images you pick

Absolutely beyond thrilled to see Happy there 🥹💛 Jack and The Beanstalk is one of my absolute favourite things on this app, just like PineBox Readings, so having both of them in one post is always a reason for me to giggle excitedly

And the list is awesome! Some more people for me to take a peek at 😏

Thretening to use ribs to pin someone to the earth over a cozy fantasy is exactly why I love reading your work, and listening to your recommendations hahaha

I am honored to be inducted into the catacombs! It is rather frigid down here, but you’ve sufficiently warmed my heart. (And given me a great reading list to pass the time.) Thanks so much!

A lot of talent here, love the list and the commentary. A lot if these review posts on Substack are far too boring and dull. It's nice to see one with some personality injected into the reviews.

Maaan, thank you so much for including me in this. This is huuuge! I have immense respect for the work you do here, but just as much, the attention you bring to other writers. It's hard to keep up with everything happening here, and your curated lists are something I can trust to deliver the type and quality of writing I love.

That doesn't get close to showing appreciation for your kind words. I always look forward to your readings. It's obvious you care about the craft of writing, but more specifically, the craft of horror writing. The thought you give all the stories you read is some seriously admirable stuff. Truly grateful for you, my brother.

Great list, by the way. Glad to see some names on there I've been hoping to see!

Why doesn’t Substack notify me of tags??Why do I have to rely on a jump scare when I’m reading your post for reading recommendations??

But also. What the fuck, is this real life?? Am I really in pine box pickings??? I am going to faint.

Thank you thank you thank you for including me with so many actually talented wonderful writers 😭😭 I am going to go die now, brb
