fellow family business enjoyers, anyone else getting the vibes that alice and sam are kinda like an alternate universe xen and diya?

me, when Jonny Sims appears in any piece of media he's been part of: oh hey. what's Jonny Sims doing in this piece of media I started consuming solely because Jonny Sims was in it.

Happy Paperback Publication Day to @jonnywaistcoat and FAMILY BUSINESS!

DEATH. IT’S A DIRTY BUSINESS. When Diya Burman’s best friend Angie dies, it feels like her own life is falling apart. Wanting a fresh start, she joins Slough & Sons – a family firm that cleans up after the recently deceased. Old love letters. Porcelain dolls. Broken trinkets. Clearing away the remnants of other people’s lives, Diya begins to see things. Horrible things. Things that get harder and harder to write off as merely her grieving imagination. All is not as it seems with the Slough family. Why won’t they speak about their own recent loss? And who is the strange man that keeps turning up at their jobs? If Diya’s not careful, she might just end up getting buried under the family tree. . .

'A triumph, thriving on relatable fears, hyper-realistic dirty homes, and understandable grief' - Fantasy Hive

'It completely blew me away' - FanFi Addict

'Don't read by yourself in a strange hotel room if you want to come out psychologically unscathed' - Me, specifically, learning lessons the hard way so that other people don't have to.

If you want a book that will:

Make you twitch at strange shapes outside the windows as the nights get darker

Break you in the smallest ways with the simplest observations of the meaning of humanity and love

Give you new and exciting things to be scared of that actually, on reflection, had probably always been lurking in the depths of your psyche just waiting to be called up

FAMILY BUSINESS is the book you want to grab.

"Just a minute," said Lobsang. "Who are you? Time has stopped, the world is given over to...fairy tales and monsters, and there's a schoolteacher running around?"

"Best kind of person to have," said Susan. "We don't like silliness. Anyway, I told you...I've inherited certain talents."

"Like living outside time?"

"That's one of them."

"It's a weird talent for a schoolteacher!"

"Good for grading papers, though," said Susan, calmly.

"Jonny 'I don't write happy endings' Sims" this, "Jonny sits in his castle of screams and tortures characters" that - every story that man has put out into the universe is three raccoons called Hope, Humanity and Love wrapped up in a trenchcoat of horror and his writing gives me hope that us humans aren't completely doomed maybe.

Try to change my mind, but you can't!

Jonny sims either names his characters the most basic ass names he can think of, or names them as if they are newly out gen z enbies renaming themselves after inanimate Objects or vague philosophical concepts

It’s heartbreaking how many times in season 3 Jon casually mentions how he is looking for ways to prove that Gerard Keay faked his death in 2014. It’s so clear that he’s become attached to this chaotic good hot goth vigilante who burns Leitners and helps people touched by the Fears because it’s the right thing to do.

It almost looks like Jon addresses the reality of Gerry’s death less and less (not quite denial, but close) the more he learns about Gerard, and all the good he’s done. It hurts him to face the fact that this ally is gone forever. And when he finally meets him via the Catalogue of the Trapped Dead, he agrees to burn Gerry’s page, despite it being the one, real loophole to Keay’s death that he’s been looking for all along. He’s finally found proof that Gerry’s death wasn’t permanent, but because he chooses to do right by him, he respects Gerry’s decision to finalize his passing.

Jonny Sims really said “yeah eldritch monsters are scary and punching them is satisfying but it’s grief and isolation that will kill you and love that will save you”

and he was so right

actually hello time for my semi-regular pitch for my followers (mainly my magpod followers) to read family business. I normally have no problems thinking about death as a concept but this book had me quaking. it packs a real gut punch for redacted spoiler reasons and when I realized what the reveal was a few paragraphs before the text explicitly said so I sat there like O_O.
