I wrote a sci-fi gothic body horror book. It’s called Leech and my dog really loves it. It also won a British Fantasy Award so the bulldogs over there like it too. Buy it you cowards Represented by Alexander Cochran

Hey @hironennes.bsky.social, not sure when you'll see this, but I read "Leech" last month and loved it. I even wrote about it.

I am delighted to see that Northern Nights has made the 2024 Locus Recommended Reading List. And @premeemohamed.com's story "The Night Birds" is also on the list. To mark the occasion I've put the eBook on sale for $4. Cheers! undertowpublications.com/ebooks

I have been invited to take part in PEN America's 2025 World Voices Festival, a tremendously exciting proposition for a relatively new and unconnected author. I am declining this invitation in solidarity with Palestine, and reaffirming the boycott put in place by Writers Against the War on Gaza.

It isn't about finding 'replacements' for Gaiman and other creatives that get exposed for their monstrous bullshit. It's about pulling away from idolatry. If work resonates with you, that's fine. It does not connect you to the creative in a way that demands blind fealty.

I think if you are using the news about Neil Gaiman as a way to promote “artists who are morally good™️” right now, you will not see Valhalla. Doubly so if you’re positioning yourself as one of the good ones people should read. Ghoulish shit.

Reading Weird Horror #9 from @undertow.bsky.social: "Our Best Selves" by @hironennes.bsky.social refuses to show its cards. Everything is off - the home is stone, the inhabitants keep bleeding - and you'll simply have to go along with it. Pure weird horror, effective and engaging.

"For mature audiences" not as in "legally allowed to see a boob" but "can see a fictional character do a bad thing and not immediately go on a crusade against the author"

I just took Dorohedoro out from the library for a reread and feel compelled to mention within the first hundred or so pages nikaido kicks a man’s eyeball out of his head and then stomps on it in front of him

The US sees the world's horror at Israel burning Palestinians in hospital beds & refugee camp tents alive, gives Israel '30 days' to continue exterminating a people with US weapons but 'improve' PR until US election can be done with first. May the Biden admin forever be remembered for its evil.

'To assuage their collective guilt for their early years of indifference towards one genocide – the Nazi extermination of millions of European Jews – the United States and Europe have prepared the grounds for another.'

Imagine being bombed so frequently that you come to know – even as a child – the different kinds of missiles sent to kill you by the sounds they make? By the size of the holes they leave behind. www.welcometohellworld.com/it-makes-a-s...
