We played our annual parking lot basketball game at work with some full-time staff and the summer interns today and while we were playing it began to downpour. But everyone agreed to keep going and it was honestly pretty fun just playing in the rain like a kid again?
Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.
Let's honour Eirik's memory and keep the tradition of fucked up stories going. Happy to say this is up for preorder and my nasty short is in here! www.atomiccarnivalbooks.com/books/eat-th...

I've played chess every day for 700 straight days. One might think I'd be better at this than I am. Alas!
Niche sports post but I'm a huge fan of both the Detroit Tigers and San Diego Padres and the news of the Tigers sending the best pitcher on the planet to the Padres' archrival is sickening. I hate the Dodgers so much. MLB is a stupid league.
I am so close to getting this middle grade horror book out for publication. Don't know what all happens with the book after that, but I do know my son will read it and that means everything.
Read a short story I wrote a couple years back in preparation for an upcoming podcast interview (for the upcoming release of the anthology) and what a pleasant surprise to thoroughly enjoy the revisit.
Fun fact: @alandistro.bsky.social had the idea to use the JASON TAKES MANHATTAN poster as inspiration for MELON HEAD MAYHEM. I immediately loved the idea, and Marc Vuletich brought it beautifully to life with his illustration.

About 700 words. Good enough for now. More later tonight
Alex Ebenstein@alexebenstein.bsky.social · 3w agoGonna get some writing done if it kills me
Interesting look at the middle grade book market, speaking to something I felt but didn't have the full context for, re: length of books. I'll add: you know what was firmly MG and like, kinda popular? Goosebumps. You know how long those were? 15-20k words. It's why my MG books are that length.
Michelle Witte@michellewitte.bsky.social · 3w agoEarlier I was discussing the current state of middle grade book publishing with an author I represent, and I mentioned this Substack by @vickyweberbooks.bsky.social that offers a lot of insight into what is currently happening with that market: vickyweberbooks.substack.com/p/middle-gra...
Now is a great time to read Split Scream volume 8, with my novelette, “Lash Egg!”

Spent the week doing a virtual conference for my day job and what a disheartening experience to see the entire GIS industry absolutely fall over backwards for AI. It's fucking everywhere I turn in my work now. Just, fuck off, man
Farewell to singular cinema legend Sam Neill. The dynamic, soft-spoken intensity of his work remains unmatched over a five-decade career. His vast contributions to horror and science fiction will live forever, as will his memory in our hearts. Fango sends our condolences to his loved ones and fans.
Oh wow just realized MELON HEAD MAYHEM came out on this day 3 years ago. Happy birthday to the Killer VHS Series I guess?? @shortwavebooks.bsky.social
I am so, so happy to share this link for the Eat the Rich anthology! First of all, this was the project of the late Eirik Gumeny, who was such a kind soul who loved horror. And I get to share with you my dark, twisted tale of a wealthy CEO whose trees have... plans for him. Preorders are open!

Accidentally scared the crap out of my kid by showing him a (tame) clip from JAWS but forgetting to turn it off before the dude in the lagoon gets attacked and his leg bitten off. His face when the leg sunk to the bottom, man. And just before bed, too. Good work, me 👍
Love to hear this 🖤 You CAN judge a book by its cover if it’s one of my covers because I work on really cool books
Alex Ebenstein@alexebenstein.bsky.social · last mo.Stopped at a local bookstore with no intent to buy anything (ha!) and happened across two books facing out that clearly had the incredible work of @egallagher.bsky.social on their covers. I confirmed my assumption on the copyright pages then bought them both lol. Great covers sell, people!

Tabling at a book fair for adults for GR Lit Fest. Nice to get out chatting with readers and selling some books
Fans of @stephengrahamjones.com will understand the rush of envy & terror & more envy & more terror that I experienced seeing this post. Oooh. Back to envy. Detour into terror. Now firmly back in the envy zone.
Alex Ebenstein@alexebenstein.bsky.social · 2mo agoTake me back to watching JAWS from inflatable tubes in the lake on this day last year for the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest movies of all time
