This.

Hiya writers of bsky: Have you written a book particularly close to your heart that could do with some extra readers? Drop a comment (and link to where it can be bought?) 😊 #booksky

Now in production… @claymcleod.bsky.social @toddkeisling.com

Still too sick to work out or write, so I just read @toddkeisling.com’s The Sundowner’s Dance til’ my headache was unbearable. Now, going into this one blind.

Many thanks to @claymcleod.bsky.social for capturing this photo of us tonight. 🖤

I made it! Looking forward to Horror on the Rappahannock tomorrow with @christineharrold.bsky.social! I brought my personal stack that I’m going to get signed. Look out @toddkeisling.com, @almakatsu.bsky.social, @claymcleod.bsky.social, and @comptonwrites.bsky.social. Time to grind out some words. 🤘

One more time for the weekend listeners, don't miss our chat with @toddkeisling.com!

What are we reading today? I'm going to start this own, I snagged from on Indie bookstore day from @bobzbay.bsky.social . Cannot wait, and that cover ✨ @toddkeisling.com #readinghorror #booksky 💙📚🩸 #indiehorror #indieauthors #indiebookstores

I'm leaving for Horror Reader Weekend this afternoon. You can find me there on Saturday, vending books and reading from THE SUNDOWNER'S DANCE. Speaking of, I'll have twenty copies on hand, so if you want a personalized copy, be sure to visit. By the moon's eye!

Buy Recall today from @sobelobooks.bsky.social! You won’t regret it. And if this is your intro to @alanbaxter.bsky.social’s work, you’ve got a lot to look forward to!

Loved this episode. @toddkeisling.com is a great writer and a good guy. Loved how this was a tribute to the genius of Barker, a creative whose imagination knows no bounds. (“The Yattering and Jack” is one of my all-time favorite stories.) Another excellent conversation @scaresshapedus.bsky.social

@sobelobooks.bsky.social We're making moves.

How am I supposed to pick between reading the new @chuckwendig.bsky.social or the new @toddkeisling.com first?

It's May Day, so go celebrate by tricking a virgin police officer into following your ancient rites and, later, burning him alive inside a giant wicker effigy. Bonus points if he's a fascist incel. Look, I don't make the rules. I just follow the old ways.

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?

Heads up, @arapino.bsky.social! 🖤

Not long to get in your votes. If you love short horror fiction in your ears, VOTE!!

It is the end of April. We are heading into May; the last full month of spring. Who needs a hug? 🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙

Writers: DO NOT PAY SUBMISSION FEES. Doesn't matter if it's a contest. YOU get paid. Full stop. Also, never send novel excerpts to contests either. That shit's getting fed into an LLM faster than a short story will.

It's Todd Keisling, it's Clive Barker, let's GOOOOOOOOOO.

Many thanks for having me on the show!

NEW EPISODE @toddkeisling.com joins the show to talk about his new novel, THE SUNDOWNER'S DANCE, and we dive deep into Quiddity for our first full-length Clive Barker novel on the podcast, THE GREAT AND SECRET SHOW! LISTEN NOW: redcircle.com/shows/41a2d4...

I'm thrilled to have found a new home for CROSSROADS with @shortwavebooks.bsky.social ! Alan is wonderful to work with, and I'm forever grateful to Sam for giving this novella a chance, and Waylon for carrying the torch. ❤️❤️

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.

A wonderful, sorrowful, horror novella from @katsilvaauthor.bsky.social that helped me through some of this wait at the mechanic. Highly recommended. 🖤

Oh uh holy shit We’re a USA Today bestseller. I’m so very grateful for everyone who’s picked up a copy so far. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤️❤️🙌😭🐺 (This post is instead of the one I almost wrote, which would have simply read, “More like USA Tod-YAY”)

Happy Pub Day, @katsilvaauthor.bsky.social!

RELEASE DAY! 🧵 Vulpine Curse is now available wherever books are sold. Journey into the darkness and the desert in this prequel to Undead Folk. Shop Purchase: www.katherinesilvaauthor.com/shop/vulpine... External Purchase: books2read.com/u/bWag5x

Love seeing authors bring their worlds to life—this Sundowner’s shirt is seriously cool. Get yours! 👕✨

The new Sundowner's-themed T-shirt arrived today. Now available on my site. Link in bio. By the moon's eye!

This is so goddamn awesome. I'm so happy for @toddkeisling.com. Deserves all of this and more.

We will be open for story submissions May 1–16, and look forward to reading that frightening wondrous tale you’ve been hiding away in the shadows.
