When I walk around Portland, I sometime feel like I'm in a comic book like that one Tintin where giant mushrooms just sproinged up. "Oh, that? Just a normal HUGE plant in the fringe between the street and the sidewalk."

Your weekly reminder via recent Goodreads reviews that my novel Absolution is out there bein' all weird and you can buy it in any bookstore, most likely. A NYT and LA Times bestseller, LA Times Book Prize finalist, Locus Award finalist, and Hugo Award finalist by way of the best series category.

Big mail day! A fellow collector is moving and was worried about his books sitting in a box afterwards. He asked if I’d be interested in his @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social ones and how could I say no? So many goodies! I plan to do a couple giveaways on here and the subreddit to spread the love.

Grappling with my novel Absolution. Found it funny and interesting, especially when they talk about the character Lowry. (But it's not a "fix up" novel. It's a complete narrative in three parts. They don't really stand alone and are not meant to.) youtu.be/k29Y-jWfyfI?...
