Unplugging from Facebook, Bluesky, and my phone

But I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here on Substack, on the eZine website, on the Patreon, and on the Podcast.

Hi friends. I am unplugging from Facebook, Bluesky, and yes, even from my phone for the foreseeable future.

Why? Well, the short version is that there are some stressful things happening, and I'm fighting this depression that I have had since childhood, more than ever. I need to quiet my mind.

But I'm not going away. I'll still be on the podcast, on my Patreon, on the eZine Facebook Page, here on Substack, and on The Lovecraft eZine website.

HERE’S WHERE YOU CAN FIND ME:

Podcast/YouTube: In addition to the Sunday podcast, I now do a Tuesday night Live Horror Reading, and a Thursday Late Night Podcast. Visit this page for details on all Lovecraft eZine Community Events.

Patreon: You can join as a free member if you want; I treat it as a kind of social media where I post book recommendations and more. Even as a free member, you get a lot. And of course if you are a paying Patreon, you know that you get a ton of Patreon-only Podcast Episodes even on the lowest tier. For example, I'm interviewing Brian Evenson for the "Deep Background" series very soon.

The eZine Facebook Page, Facebook Community, and the NEW Facebook Channel: Check them out; they all work in different ways to keep you in the loop on cosmic horror, weird fiction, the podcast, and all things horror. And that new eZine CHANNEL is really cool.

Podcast alert reminders: a low-traffic email alert about upcoming podcast episodes.

TikTok: Clips from the episodes.

As you can see, the above is all Lovecraft eZine Podcast stuff. None of that will change. But I won't be personally available on social media for the foreseeable future.

Thank you to all of you for your friendship. I'm not going away, I'll still be doing the Podcast stuff and the Patreon stuff. If you've read Walden then you know where I'm coming from.

I need to sit quietly in my office and read books, do my podcast, and then read some more. What Bilbo said about hobbits applies very much to me:

"But where their hearts truly lie is in peace... and quiet."

Your friend,
Mike
