I know I’m not on Twitter anymore bc I did not see even *one* “it’s gonna be May” meme yesterday

Some amazing praise from award-winning author @jawmccarthy.bsky.social that I've been saving for release day (that's TODAY!) Thank you so much for your kind words about this weird little story of mine! It's been a long time in the making.

Something I’m noticing is how easily folks remember the names of our 3 girls. Interviewers, reviews, and readers all casually hit their names when discussing the book. Really special to see they’re clicking just after one issue.

I better get the fuckin world for Mother’s Day or what’re we even doing here

Walpurgisnacht again, and as is traditional, the submission window for Hellarkey V.4 yawns wide as a grave! Myself, @ossuary.bsky.social, and @renbolger.bsky.social are your editors, and the printing presses of @malarkeybooks.bsky.social are ready! Here's the details: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I might be crying right now

If you were waiting to get a copy of The Ghosts of Blaubart Mansion from Bookshop, it's available there now! bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

💀💜🤘 Look, I came from the abyss and I'll return to the abyss - hopeful I've made the world slightly less shitty. Thank you to anyone who has checked this out.

I’m in such a force music on people mood send help. This is a fantastic album

Be afraid. Be fearsome. 💀

book fest means we got Toadstones and Night Fears back in stock down at Eric World HQ, hit me up if you want to own copies of the greatest books ever written* for the low low flat price of $25 each or $40 for both (that price include S+H btw) *claim not independently verified

It’s heeeeere!! 😍

This shiny monster was hard to Photograph. Skeletá came yesterday! For some reason I wasn’t on board at first? But after a number of listens now I’m really into it. I think Lacryma is my favorite.

What if they made hair skin and bones vitamins

Reasons my kids immediately came inside after being encouraged to enjoy the outdoors today: a queen bee flew into my daughter’s armpit

These book cover fragments exude an aura of being sick as hell. Even Malarkey-like, I'd go so far as to suggest @malarkeybooks.bsky.social (Very hype to see what Dee's cooking up!)

“If I let you ride my back across the river, you must promise not to get any weird slime on me,” said the tiger. “We promise,” said the frogs. But as they were halfway across, the tiger felt some weird slime,

If you read anything today, read this. Holy shit. 🔥🔥🔥

My favorite thing about having worked in dental distribution for 17 years is telling people dentists don’t use Novocain anymore.

What should I do if I’m ready to listen to the new Car Seat Headrest album right this second? Besides waiting. I already tried that and it’s not working

Fourth Wing is a lot of fun IMO. In the home stretch reading it.

Nobody has decimated, ruined, eviscerated any one thing the way SNL erased the gravity of cowbell usage in a musical arrangement.

As somebody who loves books as objects, I’m extremely pleased with the physical quality of this first print of Boxcutters, inside and out. It’s a gift and I hope it makes the book that much more satisfying to read and own for others

My friends in Petaluma got the devastating news last week that their 2.5 yr old daughter has brain cancer. They have a long road ahead of them, but you can help this beautiful little family have one less thing to stress about by donating whatever you can spare. Anything helps 💖 gofund.me/f60ec39f

lantanas every year baybeee

To the tune of Wouldn’t it be Nice by The Beach Boys: Wish I had a rope and pulley system And a laundry chute inside my house (Goals seem to change as you age)

@bookshop.org has free shipping today, which makes it a great time to buy a novel about a conspiracy theory to control the minds of teenagers through music. BUY BACKMASK KSAMKCAB YUB bookshop.org/p/books/back...

Every time I pick up a copy of Boxcutters (stories by @johnchrostek.com) to send out I’m knocked out by how good it looks, how nice it feels. You should get a copy for yourself. malarkeybooks.com/store/boxcut...

It’s funny, we don’t think of ourselves as a *store* proper, per se; but if you order direct from us you’ll get cool packaging and swag and stuff; so, screw it, support Tenebrous alongside all the other rad bookshops this #indiebookstoreday 🖤☠️ store.tenebrouspress.com
