Trying not to cry as I type this, but in regards to a recent court decision in the US: While yes, ALL THE HEARTS YOU EAT is about vampires, it's also about growing up with your body against you and the constant destructive prison of this. young Hailey almost didn't make it. This book is for her.

Blocking JD Vance is the only right move to his attempt to troll Bluesky. Don't give him any attention, just block and move on. It's sad that with everything going on in the world, our Vice President has stooped so low as to become an everyday forum troll, but that's where we are now.

I hear a certain someone is having a sale next month. I’m not bothered. I know I’m the better place to shop for books online because every purchase financially supports independent bookstores, which in turn helps their communities thrive.

I look forward to the inevitable glut of "liminal hotel backroom" and "lamp room" stories in the near future. A year from now, submission guidelines will read "No creepy hotel stories, please."

This win means a lot to me for a lot of reasons, but most notably: I am the first trans man to ever win in this category!!! 🏳️‍⚧️ I hope this gives my queer & trans writer siblings heart—your work is important!

I tried a new (to me)book subscription service called Night Worms which specializes in horror. I love it! Without it I wouldn't have read this totally creepy book about weird stuff going on in a retirement community in the Poconos! I couldn't put it down! Thx @toddkeisling.com!

I had the most fun this morning at the StokerCon reading with @tjprice.bsky.social & @toddkeisling.com! Choosing an edited version of "Knit, Purl" (from Ghost Orchid Press' Blood & Bone anthology) was absolutely the right choice: there was actual wincing in the audience, which made me very proud.

I told Ophelia that she can't go to StokerCon, but if she could, they'd give her a Stoker for cuteness.

In the Disney lawsuit, 10 pages are dedicated to citing the work we did. In pursuit of this evidence, Midjourney banned me 3 times and updated their ToS. The first ban encouraged me to dig a lot deeper, so I'd like to congratulate CEO David Holz on his massive unforced error.
