If I had a nickel for every 2025 book with a centipede on the cover I'm planning to read, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

I have preordered THE WORKS OF VERMIN that was on the sale and which you were probably saving for Halloween Forgive me they were Weird so creepy and so crawly

Love it when publicists remember I am an X AUTHOR Enjoyer.

“Common sense” in bio 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Long for the innocence of my father who has never heard of Andrew Tate

Kicking my heels on a Friday night thinking about having friends over for Derby next weekend

Movie you’ve seen more than six times, no Star Wars or Trek or LOTR.

I dunno man, I just think monsters are like this thing you can project a huge range of an anxieties on, man

I don’t know how you could live through the 2010s and think that vampires are *inherently* queer

At the end of the day the sour is the best drink to make because it makes your hands smell like citrus.

Look closely.... and you might see... The Witchwood Crown by @tadwilliams.bsky.social! One of my fav books I read last year. So dang good.

A whiskey sour is a great rainy day drink.

Time to indi-GO read a good book! Spy any faves?

FIVE days!!!! The Kap's Needle is coming. And look at this beautiful back cover 😭😭😭😭 Preorders are open! eARCs available! darkmattermagazine.shop/products/dis...

Bimonthly short story report! I had a great time with these anthologies as well as the online magazines Lightspeed, Beneath Ceaseless Skies and Three-Lobed Burning Eye. I especially had a great time reading some older stories, while continuing to celebrate some of my favorite contemporary writers!

If your workplace has so much to do that you need to use an LLM, they need to hire more. Simple as that. Quit cutting corners on hiring, use the brain that we climbed down from the trees to grow, Be Alive. It's really not that hard, man.

There are eight days left in @neonhemlock.bsky.social's kickstarter for its 2025 novella series! (Of which mine is one, I'll never get over the excitement) If the kickstarter hits $15k, then there will be ILLUSTRATIONS 🤩 kck.st/43Ex0FE

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about METAL FROM HEAVEN by @sapphomancer.bsky.social: a powerful work of fantasy, committed to deep ethical principles, to queerness, to solidarity, to desire & the will to reshape the world. Our drink is Ichorite, sharp with a citrus bite.

Backlist Bar Cart Bookshelf! FLAMES OF MIRA by @clayharmon2.bsky.social. A grimdark adventure fantasy in a subterranean world of magma & metal, anchored by a compellingly conflicted antihero & strange chemical magic. Our drink is Fhelfire, a mocktail that marries fire & ice. youtu.be/friRNTWrV5s

Backlist Bar Cart Bookshelf! DEAD COUNTRY by Max Gladstone. The first volume in the Craft Wars series, this is a novel of homecoming, mentorship, & world-shattering catastrophe. A weird western of cursed accounting. Our drink, the Edgemont Cooler, is a refreshing highball! youtu.be/GzT1mYKDelY

Kinda insane and shows how afraid the networks are of upsetting this administration that a guy who killed 7 people and wounded 48 with “47” literally tattooed on his face has all but been forgotten like there’s still not a very serious threat emanating from every pore of this pathetic cult
