That’s a wrap on my cursed Full House script. All will be able to read this ridiculous, nostalgic, bloody good fun soon! This was a welcome break from the editing process, but now it’s time to get back to it. 💪🏽

Putting the final touches on my Kimmy Gibbler: Portrait of a Serial Killer short story. Excited for the world to read this punchy switchblade romance sitcom, where the scariest part is that hot pink jumpsuits were a thing back then. Coming to you geekburgers soon. 🩷 #horrorsky #horrorcommunity

Shoutout to Lynn! I 🖤 personalizing books for readers, ESPECIALLY for Lube Me Up with Fry Grease. I get to squeeze some extra stank shenanigans in! All books purchased from my bigcartel shop will be signed & can be personalized. Just add your inscription in the note section or email w/ your order!

Just before the clock strikes 12 & it becomes National Phrique Day: an observation. I just noticed how REVOLTING navels are. Likeeeeee I feel utterly disturbed just looking at that gallery of lint & sebum salad bowls. 🤢 also: enjoy a preview for the bookmark for #ScissorMeTimbers!

If the devil’s in the details, color me bedeviled. I designed/drew all my chapter breaks for GOTD & LMUWFG, so I had to bring it w/ this 1. The official chapter break logo for #ScissorMeTimbers was inspired by Chapter 7: She Loves Me Knot. I wanted sacrilicious that got your holy macaroni stirring.😻

Official cover reveal for my upcoming novel, #ScissorMeTimbers! This is a special cover reveal tho. It’s not just for my 3rd & girthiest abomination to date, it’s also for the first cover I’ve hand-drawn all by myself. 🙀 #horrorsky #horrorcommunity #splatterpunk

The official cover reveal for #ScissorMeTimbers is tomorrow, but Substack subscribers get to see it NOW plus the official synopsis. 🙀 I couldn’t think of a better day to drop my 3rd abomination. Amen! 🖤 Impatience isn’t a sin: open.substack.com/pub/phrique/...

Half way through proofreading SMT & need a brain break, so I thought I would trick it with purdy pitchurs. I’ll always be a Junji Ito stan & I’ve had this one on my TBR forever. 🖤 #currentlyreading

By the pricking of my thumbs, something sapphic this way cums. Say your prayers, #ScissorMeTimbers is cumming! 💦

Are authors supposed to have multipe bios on hand? Cuz I needed to submit a 3-4 sentance one & came up this one on the fly. Idk, I’m still a little wet behind the ears but I’m starting to recognize my voice. No lies detected. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Quote with you looking fancy. That time they forgot to not invite me to family weddings/funerals. 🖤 p.s. leave my “beard” alone. 🧔🏽

Taking a break from read thru/edit phase for SMT so I started this Papa Palahniuk one. It is the most VAGINAL book i have EVER read. & for those who didn’t know, #ScissorMeTimbers would have Georgia O’Keefe saying, ALRIGHT WE GET IT GEEZ. So I def need to vet these better. I’m enjoying it tho. 🖤

SCISSOR ME TIMBERS IS DONE! Even though it felt like it took me far too long to finish it, the feeling of being able to (passive-aggressively) type “the end” was truly magical. Who knew my first ever foray into sapphic erotic #horror would also be my girthiest girl to date. 🫨 #horrorcommunity

Y’all should already know by now, I’m a man of my word. 😅

Another comic series I absolutely LOVE for all the wrong, adorable, fucked up reasons is the “I Hate Fairyland” comics by Skottie Young. The newest addition one is an anthology of other authors/artists taking a whack at Gert & her adventures in the streets of Fairyland.🖤 #currentlyreading #horrorsky

I’ve been beta & ARC reading like a mofo so I can’t share which of which just yetttt but I’m excited to start this one next on my TBR. 🖤 @ericlarocca.bsky.social #horrorsky #horrorcommunity

I’m in the process of creating a concentrated space for my atrocities/office of calamitous intent. Which allowed space for my modest(!) #library to finally happen! I’ve had to keep all my books in crates this whole time. So to see my collection out & in my face is amazing 🤩 but also daunting.

I NEVER thought I would see my lil drag baby on a bookstore shelf. I’m beyond verklempt. 🥹 I’m so proud to have my abominations grace its first shelves @ Tails of Bookworm in Pekin, IL! A nonprofit bookstore/gift shop that raises money for local animal shelters/rescues in need…w/ IMPECCABLE taste. 💅🏽

Over 40 years later, one of the greatest clapbacks in film history 👏 👌

The guy in front of me @ the car wash is eating a whole pizza. Like the box is on his dash & he is going to town. Am I not living my life right? 🤔

Gou Tanabe can do no wrong with his Lovecraft adaptations, the art is SO good. I’ve read all but this one & The Shadow Over Innsmouth so far, enjoying every page. 🖤 #horrormanga #horrorsky #horrorcommunity

Introduce yourself with four movies. #filmsky

About to finish this & I’m going to have a panic attack. 🫨 #horrorsky #horrorcommunity #currentlyreading @richardchizmar.bsky.social

I may or may not be at said function, depending if you own drapes or not…but the ambiance I bring with me? Depending on VIP being well stocked/ventilated. Guacamole is extra too, why not live deliciously? #thevibesibringtothefunction

If U like vampires, werewolves, old gods, centuries-old conspiracies & oh, U know…fucking SPAWN in your #horror comics, Killadelphia is for U. One of my favorites is now on Volume 6 w/ a familiar hellspawn jumping into the fight. This series is my #1 recommendation to #horrorcomic nerds like me. 🖤

#ScissorMeTimbers has officially hit 60k words! Which was NOT the plan for my lil sapphic lumberjack nunsploitation story @ all. Yet here we are. Only 2 chapters left & I’m thinking 70k is going to be the magic number. That is, if I stop devoting whole paragraphs to Mother Superior’s mustache. 🖤

I’m back to disturb your peace with a @dreadcentral.bsky.social streaming guide filled with body fluids. Happy Friday!!! www.dreadcentral.com/editorials/5...

I’m back on my #comics bullshit. 🖤 #currentlyreading #graphicnovel #horrorsky #horrorcommunity

From the best slur delivery to the roller rink blood bath to the muff militia massacre, this movie has everything. 🖤 #currentlywatching #filmsky

Cover reveal!!! By the insanely talented Matthew Revert, here is the cover of Shoot Me in the Face on a Beautiful Day, coming 8/26/25 from @apocalypseparty.bsky.social Birdie deals with a manipulative partner, guilt, and grief while a home-invading killer descends on her community.

I’m always fascinated by horror with no dialogue. 🖤 #currentlywatching #horrorsky #filmsky #horrorcommunity

150 pages into largest book I’ve read aka Animal Money by Michael Cisco. Not particularly horror, but has elements. It’s a bizarro/absurdist take on capitalism. While my brain has fun w/ all THAT…I’ll be double-fisting it/The Nestling by Charles L Grant cuz I wanna be skurrd too. 👀 #currentlyreading

@bpal.bsky.social If I know anything, it's that the Lab loves three things: books, drag queens, and horror. With that in mind, I HAVE to tell them about the book, Gig of the Damned: Slay the Competition by Phrique because it's slasher book about drag queens.

As much as I love my author bio, if I ever wanted to change it…I might have to use this as a plan B. 🤔
