As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

Congrats to @paultremblay.bsky.social for his well-deserved Stoker Award nomination for Superior Achievement in a Novel for his fantastic novel, HORROR MOVIE. HM was my favorite book of 2024 and went immediately onto my list of all-time #horror favorites. Best of luck with the final vote, Paul!

House of Bone and Rain is a Bram Stoker Award nominee and I have no words. This is a weird, very personal novel, and seeing it in here with books I loved and authors I admire means a hell of a lot. Congrats to Paul, Stephen, Gwendolyn, and Josh!

One thing about PSB is we absolutely adore @paultremblay.bsky.social (especially bookseller Jen and I) My favorite novels of his are A Head Full of Ghosts- exorcist inspired commentary on greed, religion, and family, and The Cabin at the End of the World- NE woodsy queer psychological thriller!

It’s got that new book smell, right out of 1912, with bright red blood staining the page edges. Couldn’t be more proud—couldn’t be any cooler:

I've been working on sewing patches onto my denim jacket in preparation for a horror con next month! The #HüskerDü patch is of course in honor of Art Barbara from my fav memoir (novel) & Trembler, #ThePallbearersClub, thank you @paultremblay.bsky.social for showing us that books are coffins! 🤩🪦📸🧛🏼‍♂️

Looking for a dystopian novel you haven’t read that fits our current zeitgeist? Look no further than Jack Womack’s 1993 book, Random Acts of Senseless Violence. Especially if you’re a New Yorker. #booksky

If you purchased/paid $$$ for my books, YOU own those books, not the store/corporation you purchased them from. So, I'm okay with you stripping out the DRM so that you can continue to own the book. Solidarity. But please be cool and don't then upload it to a pirate site. My kids gotta eat, too. :)

I have zero respect for the “piracy is good, actually” argument and I’m always sad to see it. I don’t care if you’re an author who doesn’t mind. You don’t speak for me. I do mind.

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

Horror Movie by @paultremblay.bsky.social is a five star read and a masterclass in storytelling. Warning: Tremblay’s characters will get inside your head and stay there… but to be fair, you’ll keep on turning the pages, allowing the horror in. This is why I love Tremblay’s work so much.

Last thing I did yesterday before my head hit the pillow was finish @paultremblay.bsky.social's Horror Movie: A Novel. Big mistake! When it's your turn to read the book — which I recommend you do — don't follow in my footsteps. Read only during daylight hours. Or else who knows what dreams may come?
