YES! Congratulations Eden!

I’m sure I have some deaf followers: a Creative Writing PhD applicant is researching Deaf representation and Sign Language in Fantasy novels, and looking to speak to D/deaf or sign-user members about their experiences with sign and how they could see it in a fantasy setting. Let me know if…

Crazy weather got me feeling all poetic and moody: It's not the cold that freezes my soul, but the ease with which it changes. Now, back to my grumbling.

There's still room to come play with us!

When you send something to an editor/publisher to read and you really wanted to keep picking at it and picking at it until you talked yourself out of ever sending it.

Books😍😍😍!

read this book if you wanna lose your bones

Just putting it out there that I have done a couple of book covers and other illustrations. Here is my artwork page in case anyone is interested. christinogle.com/artwork/

Happy book birthday!

So, I did a thing. A wildly glorious thing...a wildly glorious thing that resulted in two short stories in the quarter finals of #KillerShorts. WOOOOHOOOO! killershortscontest.com/announcement...

Short story submission call! Opening June 1! From the minds of me and @mstevensonbooks.bsky.social comes ENTER HERE: An Anthology of Portals. It's an adult SFFH speculative anthology celebrating marginalized authors. More info on our website! #writing #WritingCommunity cjsubko.com/enter-here-a...

This makes me so, so happy! The artistry! The variety! The awesome teacher in Chris Broadbent who inspires this level of reading interest in his students--priceless🖤!

When you have the nicest buddies in the best genre🖤!

I could use some help spreading the word about my Etsy shop. These are all handmade creatures designed and hand-sewed by me. They each take many hours to make. A sale or two would be a colossal help. jeremycreature.etsy.com

Had the pleasure of gifting a copy of this to the IT guy on campus who came and fixed my office phone. Go get yourself this same treat he's gonna be in for. Can't wait for him to come back and talk to me about it!

LISSEN. Good book boxes are life. That is all. #blacksky #horror

Now up for pre-order! Y'all want this novella, I promise!

So exciting! Congratulations!

Thanks to everyone who has been coming to the shows. A tip: even if the show is sold out, they always release a few tickets the afternoon of the show. For instance, Dallas, a handful of tickets for tonight’s show have just been released. www.axs.com/events/73100...

I'm in! I can't help with the farming or the animals. Can't mow lawn or handle plants--all the allergies. Or the cooking or baking. Nor the sewing or many other household tasks. But bonfire and horror stories and preparing and using fainting couches and cocoons: I'M YOUR GIRL.

GOTHS FOR BREAKFAST - children's breakfast fundraiser and a slew of Gothic panels 🖤

Great writers to support this Black History Month (and pls read yr round)!! @erricknunnally.bsky.social Fab book I got to blurb @momoshaty.bsky.social @michellereneelane.bsky.social !

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.

Has it been 40 years? Time flies when you're a Ghoul on the run! Paul Wooldridge of @yammityvillehorror.bsky.social dives into Day of the Dead & its grim, claustrophobic vision of the zombie apocalypse that was ahead of its time, and still bites just as hard today. nighttidemag.com/2025/01/31/s...

Happy book birthday!

@spookywv.bsky.social, I tried SO HARD to meet you at Dark Drafts this weekend, and I just...didn't. I gotta tell you my daughter and I just finished listening to Mean Spirited on audio. It was creepy as all get out! Well done.

Sitting next to the Delaware Mortuary Museum. An overhead light randomly goes out--then comes back on in its own sweet time. As lights do😳😳😳. #DarkDraftsFestival

Our Bloomsbury book series examines those lingering revenants of the past & ghostly "lost futures" so central to the critical concepts of hauntology & spectrality. Does this sound like your research? Then please, be in touch! 👻 #Hauntology #Hauntings #FolkHorror

Karaoke + horror writers and readers = A FUNKY GOOD TIME! #DarkDraftsFestival

Now taking orders! I can hardly wait to read what these brilliant writers come up with! Don't miss out--get yours now.
