I had the greatest interaction yesterday with @cshumble.bsky.social. His first question to me upon meeting was, “Who is your greatest influence?” When I said Flannery O’Connor, he shouted, “I KNEW IT!” (1/2)

Wake up call for Rachel Harrison before her reading (thank you Ryan for capturing the moment) @rachelharrison.bsky.social

Six months later, two pie horror girlies got to be the Spider-Man pointing meme at StokerCon as we yelled “PIE HORROR” at each other. 😂 @moniqueasher.bsky.social

it is really weird that publishing decided that instead of having a marketing budget, writers should just become cult leaders

Don’t talk to me for the rest of the day! I just met @scumbelievable.bsky.social! (Now I’m cursed).

The three ARCs I really want that have been floating around StokerCon: @scumbelievable.bsky.social’s BLACK FLAME, @jennykiefer.com’s CRAFTING FOR SINNERS, and @lindsaykingmiller.bsky.social’s THIS IS MY BODY. If anyone has an extra or knows where I can find one, please let me know!

Giving away all of @sapphicsapphire.bsky.social’s secrets. She is half Bulgarian and enjoys bad American coffee. Only one of these things is true. ☕️

After years of correspondence, I finally got to meet @jamieflanagan.com to thank them for making I’M SORRY IF I SCARED YOU possible. They have never taken public credit for their role in helping uplift that project, but behind the scenes their voice was instrumental in helping mine be heard. (1/2)

This is the whole StokerCon vibe to me. Also I got to say hi to Mae and it was great - highly recommend!

Day 1 of StokerCon was a whirlwind. I’m exhausted and can’t find the words to describe how wonderful it’s been. I’m so grateful for this beautiful life.

Just saw a billboard in Connecticut that said: “Sick of PORN? Jesus sets free!” #StokerCon

Saw this on Instagram! Very cool that someone read my friend @ericlarocca.bsky.social’s book and mine back to back! When we collaborated as author and editor on THE BOOK OF QUEER SAINTS VOL I, who could have known how far we’d come in just a few years? Transgressive queer horror lives! 🖤🖤🖤

"Oh of COURSE Eli Roth is a bad person, he did make Hostel after all. Anyone who can make or enjoy something like that is surely a psychopath". I see this every time someone who makes horror media is called out and it drives me crazy. You can make and like extreme horror and be normal actually.

I know this is a thing writers worry about in social situations, so ahead of #StokerCon, I want to make one thing clear: No one is above you. I’m not too good to talk to you, neither is anyone else. If someone acts like they are, they’re an asshole and you don’t need ‘em. Come say hi to me!

While everything seems to be going to shit, some genuinely good news:

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.
