American politics is wild, a guy just did a Nazi salute on stage and everyone just tries to brush it off

Happy New Year all 🎆

Low key Christmas this year after sadly losing one of our cats early this year but I think Luli was definitely happy with the mountain of snacks we bought her

All I want for Christmas is to pull a loose book from a bookshelf and finally, at long last, find that it opens a hidden door.

Merry Christmas everyone! To get everyone in the Christmas spirit I’ve posted a short slasher story 📚💙 open.substack.com/pub/talesofd...

If there’s one takeaway from 2024, it’s fuck AI. Seriously why is this continuously allowed to happen? Stealing from hard working people with no actual consequences

All I’ve done today is play Balatro

Want to get your favorite authors a gift this holiday season? ⭐️REVIEW THEIR BOOKS⭐️

I really wish they would fuck off with all this AI slop

Fuck every single one of these ventures I am so serious. Hire real humans as teachers

This is just terrible FFS

Got a couple of my short stories accepted for publication early next year 😁 📚💙

I’ve released a collection of 5 short cosmic horror stories called ’Songs of the Unfathomable’, available pretty much anywhere you get your ebooks! Give it a look and let me know what you think! #booksky books2read.com/Unfathomable

My cat has been sitting like this unmoving for about 15 minutes How do I reset a cat?

Any indies planning a January book release in sci-fi, fantasy, or horror? I'm starting to build my post for that month, and I'll add yours in! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #writingcommunity #indieauthors 🪐📚💙

I set up a Ko-Fi page if anyone is interested in checking it out 😊 📚💙 ko-fi.com/callummatthews

My gothic space horror novel REQUIEM is available for pre-order today! 'Ava must fight an entity locked in on taking out the crew of the Eden, a moon-sized cemetery in space, as it brings back the souls of the dead buried aboard.' #horror #sciencefiction www.amazon.com/Requiem-John...

I think we're going to see a HUGE proliferation of #horror over the next four years. We will need the catharsis, and of all sorts: splatterpunk, weird, cosmic/eldritch, folk/cult, Gothic, and bubblegum, to name a few. Horror contains multitudes. Horror can heal. Horror lets us know we aren't alone.

If you knowingly post or repost AI content, don't follow me, I'll block you on sight. If you're any kind of AI evangelist - or if you teach it in school or business - you get the same. No platform for AI slop. No tolerance for copyright theft and plagiarism. No quarter for the bullshit machine.

Help me keep my #1 New Release banner! THE KEEPER OF THE KEY is on sale for $1.99 all month. Get your copy here: www.amazon.com/Keeper-Key-g... @parliamentbooks.bsky.social

Why does this look like something from a Cosmic Horror novel

2025 Preview Giveaway 🎇 🎆 Reading ahead?! We’re giving away exclusive proof copies of three of our most exciting books in early 2025 (details 👇👇👇)

It needs to be said over and over because it’s really important: if you read an indie novel/comic, play an indie game/visual novel, etc. and you enjoyed it, one of the best ways to help the creator is to tell people about it! Leave reviews, tell your friends. Every little bit helps us so much!

I know reviews are for readers, but letting an author know directly you liked their work can be life-affirming. Even just saying “I liked this thing by so-and-so” is like a shot of oxytocin straight into the lower spine. Share what you like, including words you’ve read!

Hey horror author pals! LITTLE GHOSTS PRESS is HALFWAY through our submission window! We’re taking horror novella pitches from now until the end of December. More info on the page for the submission call. Responses will be sent by Feb. 1st! 🖤👻📚 www.littleghostsbooks.com/contact-us

You too can have all 9 published issues for under $20. And, of course, all sales help us keep publishing the magazine.

The world didn’t end in fire and brimstone, nor in a single blinding moment of destruction. It ended quietly, slowly, and cruelly. The sickness crept through the air like an invisible specter, whispering its death sentence to every corner of humanity - wip
