Thanks to a good friend, the new novel from the great @pnwscribe.bsky.social is in the house…early!

You know it's gonna be a big one when you cross THAT threshold in the first act...

🌲🚗

THE TROT CONTINUES thats right BURY YOUR GAYS is the WINNER of the LIBBY BOOK AWARDS best horror novel of the year. this is especially cool because it is voted on by librarian buckaroos. DANG WHAT A TREAT people.com/see-the-winn...

Remember, a first draft's only job is to exist

@tjoneswriter.bsky.social it's heeeeere!

“How can you talk about books at a time like this?” “Because if I don’t talk about books, I’m gonna talk about murder and I’d rather rather go on book tour than go to prison. Also, fascists hate books, especially those written by people like me. So books, motherfucker. ALL THE BOOKS.”

BIG thing i get teased about over the years (in playful ways, it is fine buckaroos, but a light tease none the less) is the DIRECTNESS of my titles. many who stumble upon my books will immediately comment 'the title is so long it just says what happens'. here are some of my thoughts on that...

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

“Your voice is meaningless right now. ... I can talk over all of you” said the emcee at the GOP event as the woman objecting to Medicaid cuts was dragged out.

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

Wake Up and Open Your Eyes by Clay McLeod Chapman—Set in today’s America, "Fax News" viewers don’t just get misled… they get possessed. An all too real horror story! #Booksky 💙📚

Whatcha doing Thursday evening? Want to come hang out on YouTube with @katsilvaauthor.bsky.social and I as we talk about mushroom horror? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY84...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

If you’re looking for a good ole horror thrill ride, pick this up March 18th by @pnwscribe.bsky.social !!!!! #booksky #horror #newrelease

If you're on Goodreads, Tor Nightfire is doing a giveaway for ARCs of GIRL IN THE CREEK! www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

VEIL is coming in September. I can't wait for you to read this sci-fi horror novel. And I suspect there'll be a cover reveal soon.

Today, at the Bridgeport Barnes & Noble in Portland, Oregon I’ll be hanging from 11 am - 5 pm signing copies of BURN THE PLANS and HEAVY OCEANS! If you’re in the area, come say hi.

Started WHITE LINE FEVER by @pnwscribe.bsky.social tonight, and good golly am I so in love with his craft in this book. The way this book builds up its suspense and tension is just excellent. I bought 3 copies of BLACK TIDE when it came out. I might buy 4 of this one.

There is a huge mountain to climb, and to fall means to put everyone who isn't a billionaire in a state of absolute serfdom. We don't each have to like each other forever, but we have to work together right now.

😈❤️

Feels like ABSOLUTE garbage, promoting something right now. But also, here's the thing: WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME is about fear. Capital F-Fear. How we process it, how we survive with it, how we *must* learn to roll amid catastrophic cataracts. If I may be so immodest, it's a book for this moment.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

the aesthetic of maga goofs is so dang weird. they see themselves as anti-establishment 'dont tread on me' folks but now theyre all 'THE MAINSTREAM GOVERNMENT IS SO COOL I LOVE AUTHORITY' so weird seeing these people who liked to pretend they were rebels making big government their whole personality

87 DAYS UNTIL THE WOLF COMES HOME. Have you preordered your copy yet? 🐺🏠 Check out what the brilliant and kind @tananarivedue.bsky.social (THE REFORMATORY, THE GOOD HOUSE, THE BETWEEN, the African Immortal series, GHOST SUMMER) had to say . . .

Turned in first draft of book 3. We haven't even announced this one because I couldn't settle on a title, which I ended up working in as a minor running joke. Hopefully something more official coming soon!

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Over the (full) moon about this 🌟starred🌟 review in Library Journal for WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME. Thank you so very much, @raforall.bsky.social!!

The Great Reawakening is finally here! Are you ready to WAKE UP? Are you ready to OPEN YOUR EYES?

Let’s stop it with the “Worst Books of Year” lists. You have every right to dislike a book and talk about it critically, but there’s something super cheap and tacky about those sorts of lists. Those lists tend to lack any sort of nuance and disregard how subjective reading is.

My first read in the last quarter of 2024 was Black Tide by @pnwscribe.bsky.social, a survival + SF/cosmic horror story with the pacing of a thriller movie. Great read with a troubled protagonist, great monster building, and a plot that emulsifies despair with hope throughout. #Booksky 💙📚

"Sorry, we can't make this technology that sucks and nobody wants and that uses enough power to blow up the moon unless we *also* steal people's shit to throw into our content woodchipper in order to produce mediocre digital particleboard out of the cumulative artbarf." futurism.com/the-byte/ope...

When I was a young writer, I received a LOT of rejections. Now, after decades of hard work, I am no longer young.

Clay McLeod Chapman's new social horror takes "your mom who watches too much TV" to a whole new level. Read an excerpt from Wake Up and Open Your Eyes here! reactormag.com/excerpts-wak...

This is the best day ever!!!! @pnwscribe.bsky.social sent me an ARC of his upcoming novel, and a signed copy of BLACK TIDE (aka one of my fav books) for Steve and I 😭♥️ Thank you so much, KC!!!!!
