    Summary

    Psychomanteum, noun. A dimly-lit room containing a comfortable chair and a mirror angled so that it reflects only darkness, intended to communicate with spirits of the dead.

     

    It is our privilege to welcome you back, one and all, for the Summer 2024 season at the London Athenaeum. As some of you will no doubt be aware, this past winter saw a spate of minor thefts, with one enterprising thief successfully removing a marble bust of the goddess Carpundia. We are pleased to report that the probate court proceedings are now complete, and all of the stolen artifacts have been returned to us. For safety reasons, we must now ask that all rosaries, japa mala, ojuzu, komboskini, misbaha and other similar prayer beads are left at the door and collected upon exit on account of one of our new acquisitions, a devil vitrified in a prism of glass, and the multiple recent incidents of attempted strangulation.

    We are proud to present a slate of all new exhibitions and events, including the crown jewel of this season: an exhibition on the 170 year history of the Athenaeum itself by acting head curator Edwin Payne. This is the distillation of an extraordinary life’s work, and one not to be missed.

    Summary

    Some days, Frank's glad the world ended. He feels better suited to the desert, to this life, than he ever did to the "normal" world. Here, he doesn't have to put on a nice face or make small talk with strangers or smile at the cash attendant while buying his fucking cigarettes. He never has to say "sorry" anymore. In the desert, words are scarce and none of the guys would smile back, anyway.

    An exploration of the dark side of each of the main Killjoys.

    Summary

    Frank had gone to one of the first My Chemical Romance gigs in New Jersey back in 2002. He’d enjoyed it thoroughly despite how drunk the band were. And, naturally, had fallen in love with the lead singer. His face, his hair, his voice, his mannerisms. The oddly erotic way he flicked his fingers to encourage the crowd.

    (Frank never joined MCR, and instead developed an unhealthy obsession with the band)

    "You know what?" Frank snaps, glaring at the person who used to be Party Poison. "You know, sometimes I wish they'd just killed you instead."
