There is a suitably-qualified engineer from the electricity supply board at my home currently, checking the poles carrying power to our home for signs of rot. He is doing this by the very scientific method of hitting the poles as hard as he can with a very large hammer. For science!

This book is technically not out in North America but my local Indigo has it. Cover price is $40 so Canadians don’t sleep on this deal! This one includes one of my fave stories I’ve written “The Devil in the Desert” plus many more great horror stories.

Night crowd: ICYMI, I narrated the critically important doozy of a 19th C. tale "The Yellow Wall Paper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman for @pseudopod.org. Note CWs. If able, I hope you'll take some time to celebrate 20 Years of PseudoPod with this I-wish-it-were-not-timely story about believing women.

Listen to my extremely reasonable descent into Victorian madness. This unreliable narrator is, frankly, entirely relatable and this story is based on the author's own harrowing experiences. This story changed medical history for women. It is a difficult piece. I was beyond honored to narrate it.

Ahh! It's out, it's out! Beware! Run for the hills! Protect yourselves! THE CALAMITIES has escaped its prison deep in the void and is now appearing on bookshelves in libraries and bookstores everywhere! Shit! Shit!!

The Demons! The Demons Are Free! The Calamities Is Out!

The Calamities (Book One of The Fiends) is now out, rampaging through the populace, gamboling about, claws at the ready, teeth sharp, and its countless eyes fixed upon you. So, I do hope you’…

Review: The Calamities by Chuck Wendig Chuck Wendig’s new book, The Calamities, is a heady fever dream of demonic powers in collapse. A breakneck story of unlikeable people doing terrible things, it is nonetheless visceral and compelling horror for the committed reader. Recommended.

There’s a cat on my lap. Technically, it’s a kitten, but that doesn’t stop it being a cat. This is not my cat. I did not invite this cat. I am a dog person. A semi-avowed “not-a-cat” person. Am I being coerced or threatened? Is this an appeal for me to change my mind, or a warning to? I don’t know

Placed a story with a bucket list market today. I’m proud of myself, but I have to credit amazing editors at my back and publishers who are rooting for you to do well even when you move on—who spot you the cab fare, metaphorically. There are more heroes than villains in publishing. #horrorwriter 🩸📚💙

I’m in this too, with an Irish story called, “In Fields of Salt.” Colonial asshole getting his comeuppance! Amazing Hag energy! Grab it while the deal stands—Ends Friday.
