@HPL_JDeLaughter @CosmicHorror637 Adios, a Mi-go! :-p (<-- was the working title of my last story, but I chickened out and changed it at the last minute.)

The zeros in 2001: A Space Odyssey's title card are not actually zeros.

Kubrick used the Gill Sans typeface for these and preferred the capital letter O rather than the narrower zero (0) for the numbers.

The film's tile is typographically "2 Oh Oh 1" or "2 Oooh! 1"

@David_Hambling I came very close to putting a cyclopean in there, but I didn't think I'd get away with that.

[🐙Philip Hemplow @PHemplow]

I am, by the way, very pleased with myself for finally getting the word 'conglobation' into a story. :-V

(If you are in the US, or are just sick of Amazon's shit, you can get it at all the other places, such as e.g. Smashwords: https://t.co/DrbR6S3TMv)

A few pulp legends... from left to right: Farnsworth Wright, Henry Kuttner, and Robert Bloch!

@David_Hambling Emissaries of Shub, you reckon? Very sweet ones, if so.

Proving difficult to concentrate on creating scenes of hellish underwater terror while the sun beams down, bluebells are blooming, and fauns gambol with lambs in the field over the road.

@David_Hambling Seems as good a time as any for the 'crazier than a shithouse rat' clause to come into effect.

[🐙Philip Hemplow @PHemplow]

It was a hard one to blurb, that, but it's essentially a (non-horror) mutual possession story -- two bodies sharing but a single brain.

Hey, if anyone is looking for a cover artist, @Bitcrush_bae who did my new one (below) is available for commissions and is a real pleasure to work with. Check his portfolio. https://t.co/3GWgiuZ2tm

@HorrorPaperback On the plus side, at least no one's gonna mug you for it.

It's Monday morning (I know, sorry) and I have a new ebook to pimp (I know, sorry) https://t.co/1FL0qdL3WA Review copies available if you ask nicely :-)

@DyerbolicalDB Both him and his daughter, Angela, are simply fantastic in their segment of From Beyond The Grave. As is Ian Bannen, opposite them. Just terrific performances all round!
