You always have it.

@crutledge.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 9:40 PM

'Tis.

@crutledge.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 9:37 PM

Well this is awesome. Well deserved, Linda!

Indeed! Looks great!

I'll add it to my list. I owe several stories to editors already.

Has there been an anthology of Lighthouse Horror stories? Because I would like to write a Lighthouse Horror story.

In 1880, St. Simons lighthouse keeper Frederick Osborne was gunned down by his assistant over an argument. Ever since, keepers reported heavy bootsteps climbing the 129 cast-iron steps at night - sometimes checking on the lens machinery. #SpookySunday #GhostStories #Georgia #Folklore

The St. Simons Lighthouse and Keeper’s Dwelling were built in 1868-1872, replacing an earlier light station destroyed during the American Civil War.

The tapering brick tower still serves as an Active Aid to Navigation and houses the original third order Fresnel lens. Designed and manufactured in France, the lens casts its beam 23 miles out to sea.

The Dwelling was home to lighthouse keepers and their families until the light was automated in the mid-1950s. In1975, the Dwelling became a museum of coastal history, operated by the Coastal Georgia Historical Society.

A post not without its singular points of interest.

Much like Snake Plissken, @briankeene.bsky.social is still with us.

@crutledge.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 12:04 PM

Yes indeed. REH is never far from my mind.

@crutledge.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 11:38 AM

Exactly! You could write a story about all the background characters in Jack's work. Like these guys. Every one of them has character.

@crutledge.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 11:26 AM

Jack carried that through most of his career, amazingly. Check out these two animation characters he did after he left comics. Just as confident all those years later. I got these in San Diego in 1989.

Nothing new here. All of it I've read before and most of it more than once.

@crutledge.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 10:48 AM

Actually just for fun, let's break down those random books on the center sofa cushion. Stuff I'm reading for entertainment and/or inspiration. Interesting spread of years. Wolfshead-1979 Cthulhu: The Mythos and Kindred Horrors-1992 Edgar Allan Poe: Selected Tales-1998 The Tomb-1970 Salem's Lot-1975

It always amuses me when I get up in the morning and find the sofa strewn with the debris of the weekend's reading/research.

I sort of want to read it as a physical book, but I'm tempted!

@crutledge.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 2:31 AM

@leannareneehieber.bsky.social check out my pal Amra's 'Woman running away from House' display.
