Happy Friday Night Worms! This is it, you guys. It’s the last #fridayfeels before All Hallow’s Eve. Have you picked out your Halloween costume yet? I’ve decided to go as Arthur so I can make fists and be irritated at things, but it will be funny because of that meme. (See the picture below)

I wanted to recommend The Cosmology of Monsters to you this week. It’s Shaun Hamill’s debut and it is FANTASTIC. It’s about a family who runs a haunted house and has to wear costumes all the...
