Going to the ER tonight to try and get admitted because my insurance won't let me see anyone that will do anything to keep my eyesight. I have uncontrolled glaucoma and am in immediate need of care for both that and a corneal transplant. My insurance won't cover anything but that

In the latest Reading the Weird, @R_Emrys and @AnneMPillsworth continue digging through Stephen King’s Pet Sematary!
We’ve reached Chapter 22, in which the Creed family cat dies, and Louis Creed makes a fateful cursed-cemetery-based decision.

"Metaphors & memories are folded into the body—maybe deliberately, maybe out of necessity."
@reactormag's review of RIVERS is like a rabbit-hole, spinning new stories in fine webs between the poems. I'm enchanted by @AnneMPillsworth's magical bus & @R_Emrys' sculpture garden! 💚

@R_Emrys & @AnneMPillsworth wrote the most amazing analysis of my weird swamp story, including an insightful examination of the 2nd person narration and secret cryptid [spoilers], and I'm only just seeing it?
