Y’all … this book is šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„! @madnessandmonsters.bsky.social pitched it to me at AuthorCon as ā€œBLADE meets DJANGO UNCHAINEDā€ and the rest is history… sorry, little pun. Anyway, if you like themes of found family and raging against the machine of racism, bigotry, and Ancient Greek vampires, grab a copy!

Had to repost with correct links šŸ™ƒ

I am in this post and I don’t care for it.

Thanks so much for the shout out @ttmaddenwrites.bsky.social ! I pitch this as ā€œkids versus the KKK and cosmic horrorā€ āœŠšŸ¾

My newest novel, DEEPSPORE, is here. Chock full of tentacles, slime, and evil jellyfish—with just a hint of cosmic horror for flavor. Come and see the death below the waves! amzn.to/4g8o0ey

Can’t wait for Jordan Peele to use the backing music from Kendrick’s Reincarnated in his next horror movie.

Masque of the Red Death

So I recently gained about a million new followers, and I haven't been to active on here because of lingering Twitter revulsion. I'm hoping to slowly change that, cause Cthulhu knows I need somewhere to ramble thoughts.

I’m not as active on this BlueSky thing, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t got listen to @austinrwilson.bsky.social latest episode of Ledger: A Writing Podcast. Topics include writing, editing, Lovecraft, BEYOND THE BOUNDS OF INFINITY, and @stephaniepearre.bsky.social talking over each other!

Hey check out our cover reveal! @lynnehansenart.bsky.social did an awesome job šŸ”„

Since we're doing good news today, and I have the signed contract in my hands at last, I can also announce that my novel SOUTHERN CROSS will be published by Falstaff Books' "Dread" imprint later this year. Hopefully more on that to come soon!

So this was a cool way to start the year. I know, everything I say sounds sarcastic, but seriously, this is rad! šŸ“

Touched by Shadows turns two years old today. Even though it came out second, it was the first novel I finished and the first one to be accepted. This POC led Cosmic Horror story packs a punch. Show it some love: journalstone.com/bookstore/to...

I think one of the things that I’m most proud of, as I edit the stories for Beyond the Bounds of Infinity, is how many NEW names we’ll be lifting up. Of the chosen submissions, I think about HALF of them are from unpublished/unheard of authors—people whose stories may not have been heard otherwise.

My book Touched by Shadows (and myself) are featured in this awesome column just 8 days before the novel’s second birthday! And alongside other fantastic authors. Excited, and honored, I am!

Look. Godzilla Minus One. It should have been called Godzilla 10/10. I just. Clenched the entire movie. With my jaw hanging open. There were some tears. It’s stellar, heartbreaking, beautiful, and horrific. Godzilla is again a terrifying force of humanity’s own devising. And the fucking heat ray….

The jig is up, the news is out!

Oh to be Man-Thing, wandering aimlessly without a thought. Just vibing in my swamp, endlessly curious about the world, burning awful people with my touch…
