i’m not much of a horror girly but i admire their work so much! reminds me of the sick geniuses who designed the fucked-up bear in Annihilation. and the blood-crazed transcription-error cat in Michael Crichton’s book, Timeline

This panel—from Columbia’s Biologic Show—is one of my favorite pieces of horror. Ever. Of any form of media.
Columbia’s work, from the earlier material—more akin to Bill Sienkiewicz and Dave McKean—to his later Fleischer animation-influenced work; it’s all totally genius, insanely haunting, and truly disturbing.

Horror is my favorite genre and I’ve posted lots of horror movie recs on my profile so I’m gonna shake it up and say the horror manga of Junji Ito. Lots of his work is body horror or surreal horror, his whole thing is taking normal and everyday things and making them unsettling.
I recommend starting with one of his short story collections, because they’re accessible easy reads and give you the best picture of what he’s all about. But his magnum opus is Uzumaki, which is about a town terrorized by spirals; spirals in nature, spirals in man-made objects, spirals in the human body, etc. that eventually drive the whole town to madness. I’m also dying to read his adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

after five years of grad school and subsequent job search, i can finally say i have successfully changed careers 😭 i start my new job counseling kids at a community mental health clinic on Monday. yesterday was my last shift at the grocery store that was an escape from my horrible corporate job and a sustaining force throughout grad school. it’s so bittersweet to leave the sweetest coworkers i’ve ever had and the most fun i’ve had at work. it’s immeasurably healing to quit a job for only good reasons. my coworkers got me a cake, everyone wrote notes in a card, and the goodbyes throughout the day made my heart swell. i even got to tell the good news to my favorite instacarter 🥺 after i clocked out for the last time, my friends joined me for gelato at the cafe and we strolled the store for a final time, this time as simply a loyal customer.
