Bitter Karella's Hot Fresh Slurry 24

It’s Hugo season and you only have 5 noggy days before the government takes it away again… I mean, before nominations close! You should all definitely nominate me, Bitter Karella, for best fan writer, because I was nominated last year and I found that I have a taste for being nominated for things. Anyway, here’s some Midnight Pals:

***

L. Marie Wood: Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call the tale of the book that kills people
Lovecraft: o-oh! i like that
Lovecraft: b-books that kill, that's totally my jam!
Robert W Chambers: whose jam?

Wood: anyone who reads this book of esoteric stories will find themselves driven mad by the revelations of horror
Wood: and then die horrible, bloody deaths
Wood: as this innocent-looking book cuts a swathe of destruction across the country
Wood: leading us on a merry, madcap chase!

L. Marie Wood: and that book? the one that kills people?
Wood: why, it's this collection of short stories right here! [holds up 'The Tales of Time']
King:
Poe:
Barker:
Koontz:
Lovecraft:
Lovecraft: w-why did you bring the killer book here

King: wait, so the book that kills you is real?
Wood: yes, i wrote it

King: does it actually kill you

Barker: christ steve of course it doesn't, it's a bit
Barker: are you actually falling for this
Wood: oh yeah? maybe you'd like to take a look inside then
Barker:
Barker: yeah you know reading's not really my thing
Barker: edgar you love books, why don't you read it
Poe: yeah i don't think so

Wood: what's wrong? you're not actually scared are you?
Wood: you don't actually believe that these stories could kill you?
Wood: why it's just an ordinary short story collection
Wood: or is it???
Koontz: are we going to die

Wood: no dean no one's going to die
Wood: just as long as you don't succumb to the otherworldly compulsion to open this infernal tome and read the cursed words within
Koontz:
Koontz: i want to read it now
King: dean no!

Wood: any unfortunate soul could fall victim to this sinister book - a flight attendant, a barista, an old lady...
Lovecraft: i-i don't understand
Lovecraft: t-those don't sound like reedy academics
Wood: no i'm saying ANYONE could get got
Lovecraft:
Lovecraft: t-those don't sound like reedy academics

Richard Sharpe Shaver: Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this the tale of the underground monster people that can control us with mind rays
Stephen King: wow, that sure sounds like an amazing story!
Shaver: yes
Shaver: yes it is

Shaver: did you know that there’s a secret cabal of underground monsters who kidnap people for sexual torture and cannibalism?
Koontz: gosh! That’s not real tho right?
Koontz: it’s just a story right?
King: yes dean it’s just a story
Shaver: don’t tell him that
Shaver: this is real

King: c'mon richard you're just having a laugh, it's all just a story
Shaver: this is real
Shaver: there's a secret cabal of underground monsters who kidnap people for sexual torture and cannibalism
Shaver: and that's not all
Shaver: wait until you hear what they’re doing to the soil

Dan Simmons: a secret cabal of underground monsters who kidnap people for sexual torture and cannibalism?
Shaver: that's right
Simmons: damn you could base a whole political worldview on that!
Simmons:
Simmons: are they in league with the queers and the muslims?
Shaver: I don’t know what that is but probably
Simmons: I knew it!

Simmons: these underground cannibals sound p legit to me
King: dan i don't think they're real
Simmons: oh I see, so you think that when i say "underground cannibals" that's, like, code for greta thunberg and that when i say we must stop the underground cannibals that's a veiled threat calling for the murder of greta thunberg and the public desecration of her carcass as a warning to all blue haired millenial they/thems?
King:
King: well i do now
Simmons: wow steve
Simmons: i think that says a lot more about you than me

Simmons: you know what these underground cannibals who prey on white women are like?
Simmons: they're like "urban" "thugs" wearing "hoodies"
Lovecraft:
Simmons: and "baggy pants"
Lovecraft:
Simmons: if you know what i mean
Lovecraft:

Simmons: i'm sorry, are these dog whistles too subtle?
Simmons: i mean
Simmons:
Simmons: italians
Lovecraft: [immediately starts sweating]

Simmons: so the underground cannibals are in league with george soros
Simmons: and that caravan of latin refugees
Simmons: that we were all so scared of about 3 years ago
Simmons: and then just forgot about when it strangely failed to materialize
Simmons: I can’t believe AM radio got that one wrong!
