I have to make a decision. Do I warn you every time, more and more warnings each chapter? Or do I just say things get proper fucked up beyond this point. This is a novel about people who care about each other, but it is also splatterpunk. It's gonna get wild. asofterworld.com/grandma/chap...

Chapter 8 is where Undead Hungry Grandma really takes its foot off the brake. asofterworld.com/grandma/chap... I mean it really "shows its teeth" here. tee hee.

Martin is going to Bible Camp for the summer. He's going to learn archery and swimming, and he's going to make new friends. He's pretty excited, but that's probably because nobody told him that this is a horror novel! asofterworld.com/joey/summer.... #splatterpunk #horror #slasher

all the signs were there sprouting out the top of my head

Laying in bed going 18.99 vs 13.99 vs 18.99 13.99 18.99 13.99 - some "know your worth" idea of not constantly devaluing myself -vs- "maybe it would be nice if people could afford your book." around and around. eventually just pick the nicer one and just stop the panic. It's a book. Calm down.

i just want to do the wrong things right

i changed the price of summer is ended to 13.99. why not just 14? why did my brain do it like that? i just wanted to make it $5 cheaper, not play weird mind games that advertisers in the 50s came up with. i should go make it 96cents or maybe calm down and stop overthinking everything.

Two weeks. Two out-of-print books back from the dead!! I'm feeling good. I feel like a school bus might hit me, or it will start raining stones on my house. I feel like things are happening. Maybe it's spring fever!

Oh good morning. My bible camp slasher novel SUMMER IS ENDED is back in print and available as a free/pay-what-you-can download, and in paperback again! I am sick with glee! asofterworld.com/joey/summer.... #horror #slasher Please share, and let people know!

I added a PDF to the pay-what you can page for Girl who couldn't come. joeycomeau.itch.io/the-girl-who... Which I keep typing as The Girl Who Couldn't Comeau.

also soon

Novels should teach life lessons. For instance: Even if the dude's not gonna go to the hospital, you gotta go kick that knife down a sewer drain. Best Practices.

i plan to go see the accountant 2 in theatres. i loved the first one. ben affleck was wonderful. the scene where he lights up when anna kendrick disses "dogs playing poker" is so perfect. "I love dog's playing poker. It's incongruous. Because dogs would never bet on anything."

the dirty stories book is FREE. you can just download it from joeycomeau.itch.io/the-girl-who... and put $0 for the price if you want. I am going to do this with all of the books I own the rights to that I am republishing this year. And there will be LOTS! This is something I believe in.

i want to make a bot that's a little wizard guy that lives in a tower and has extremely regimented daily routines

I'm republishing my out-of-print bible-camp slasher novel "The Summer is Ended and We Are Not Yet Saved" and I was wondering if anyone writes a horror blog, or does a podcast, and would like a review copy? Or an interview guest? My publicist Bill "ate shit and lived," so I'm on my own here!

i have been a bit manic this week.

A new chapter of undead hungry grandma! asofterworld.com/grandma/chap... And an easier to navigate way of reading the older chapters if you want!

What’s even sooner than very soon? Right now! After years out of print, The Girl Who Couldn’t Come is finally back—as a weird paperback, a haunted ebook, or a pay-what-you-can EPUB (yes, even free). However you’d like it! IT LIVES! asofterworld.com/joey/stories... (Please share!)

soon...

Revolver (2024) starring Jeon Do-yeon (Kill Boksoon). I loved this. Imagine the movie Payback, but slower and quieter. She is unstoppable. Not because she's got crazy skills, but because she simply refuses to stop. It reminded me of Blue Ruin (2013), another favourite of mine.

my mom: they should put you on booktok. me: I don't know who he is.

I'm very proud of The Girl who Couldn't Come. It is absolutely demented and lovely because I was trying to write dirty stories *I* wanted to read in a world of "Year's Best New Erotica" bland hollow garbage. www.joeycomeau.com Read it for free or "acquire" it. For fun!!!
