Finally watched I Saw the TV Glow, what a heartbreaking and beautiful film

Little Ghosts bandanas are back in stock! Blue Glow in the Dark inks, and a variety of fabric and ink colours! 🖤👻🌈

Ginger Snaps rocked! (As I continue to catch up on all the great horror films I missed growing up.)

After giving it some thought, I figure there's never going to be a perfect time to open for horror/Weird fic collection submissions. Why not now while my job is still in a slow period? If you're BIPOC and/or queer, I'm especially interested in reading your work: cursedmorsels.com/submission-c...

Leave Blade Runner alone. I'm disenfranchised with franchises. The movies are perfectly what they are. We can just watch them and be happy/filled with existential dread. With synth soundtracks, okay?

I have availability opening up this fall if anyone is looking for a host for their culture events, panels, or interviews.

A FATE WORSE THAN DROWNING IS OFFICIALLY RELEASED!!! I've been dreaming of those words for years and it is finally happening!!!!!! I'm so excited to celebrate today and throughout this week!!! 🌊😈👻

This week's read is The Other Shore by Rebecca Campbell. A speculative collection of stories about human connection and relationships to nature in the time of climate crisis from @stelliform.press #BookSky

This is what three years of publishing for our small press imprint looks like! 5 anthologies, 7 novellas 🖤👻📚 @ttmaddenwrites.bsky.social @elijahbwilder.bsky.social @brittnibrinn.bsky.social @mmcsw13.bsky.social @philip-rowan.bsky.social @jkrawczyk.bsky.social

Someone who actually deserves articles, speeches and posts flush with accolades about a life well-lived and a career filled with bold and daring choices and thoughtful reflections on passion, hubris, creativity, frailty and obsession. Universally acclaimed and celebrated, yet still underrated. RIP 🖤

Heaven is a movie theater. RIP Sam Neill.

In a city where body modification is second nature, Nan finds a misplaced mouth. Do they return it? Sell it for cash? Keep it? You'll have to read this book to find out. Misplaced is available at your local bookstore or through @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social #BookSky

If you are curious to learn more about PSTD through personal stories and cultural analysis, I'd encourage you to pick up my memoir of essays, HOW TO RESTORE A TIMELINE: ON VIOLENCE AND MEMORY, available wherever you get your books.

Reading for an upcoming horror publication and wishing I could do this every day.

One month until Comic-Con! I’ll announce panels later, but I’ll be at the Penguin Random House booth Sat, July 25 at 1:30PM in case you wanna say hey and get something signed. Head to the PRH booth early that day for a required ticket; it’ll guarantee you a free signed galley of BACK FOR BLOOD.

“Reading every day is walking down the same path in your brain, telling yourself, this is important. This matters. You wear that path into a groove. It becomes a thing you do, like brushing your teeth, or feeding your cats.” @mollytempleton.com on reading-as-life. reactormag.com/the-way-to-r...
