Oh my god, you guys! Patricia narrated my novella, REVOLVER, while Sean tackled BLACK SITE, so I feel confident in telling you guys that their reading @claymcleod.bsky.social is going to be a fucking gut punch. I have a feeling this is going to be brutal.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A stellar collection of sci-fi stories with horror undertones. I loved it. I highly encourage you to check out @lyndseycroal.bsky.social's books, including Have You Decided on Your Question. Both it and this collection are available from @shortwavebooks.bsky.social.

We're on this list! And continue to not use AI in any step of production or business. We write our own emails, design our own art and interiors, work with professional copyeditors, make our own decisions with submissions, etc, etc. Because if we didn't, what would be the point of doing this at all?

New Deal Announcement! 🎉 I'm excited to share that we're bringing @laurelhightower.bsky.social's CROSSROADS back into print! This book was my intro to Laurel's writing, and the story that encouraged me to reach out and work with her on our OBSOLESCENCE antho and her upcoming Killer VHS title.

I’m four chapters in and really digging this. @toddkeisling.com so perfectly captures that dread of dealing with people who are a little too welcoming. (Also, the cover beneath the jacket is damn cool.) @shortwavebooks.bsky.social

We've only been around for 3 years, but in that time we've published 36 titles and (thanks to anthologies) worked with over 130 individual authors. And we've never made a late payment. Not on royalties. Not on advances. Should an oversight/mistake ever happen, we'd immediately correct it. (1/2)

Recently I listened to an audio ARC of @toddkeisling.com The Sundowner’s Dance and thought it was phenomenal. I decided to order a copy from @shortwavebooks.bsky.social It’s a beauty! A pristine hardcover, signed bookplate and best of all a Fairview Acres brochure! IYKYK 😬😂 #booksky #horrorsky

I adore @claymcleod.bsky.social and his books. This one from @shortwavebooks.bsky.social is a quick read that packs a PUNCH. Broken promises? Fatherless daughters? Missing halves? Yeah, I'm a fan. Which sounds—bad? Full review: www.instagram.com/p/DI4Rof5xtN...

Not too bad for our first film project! THE FORT is available now on YouTube, or on Blu-Ray with a ton of bonus features! And that 98% positive rating 👀 is pretty rad, given the internet at large these days.
