When I originally announced the cover for Dichotomy, my lovely friend, @rebecca-rowland.bsky.social was the first one to message and ask to read it. I cannot thank her enough for this amazing blurb and for her time and enthusiasm. 🖤

Devilry in Godling Wood, fashioned as a medieval fable, is one of @coyhall.bsky.social's best works to date. The language is lush, painting the hamlet, castle, and surrounding woods in thin, serpent-skin shadow. If you love folk and medieval horror, don't sleep on this.
Toronto and area friends! Find us this weekend at Little Ghosts Festival. Hope to see you! www.littleghostsbooks.com/little-ghost...

A new review for Zach Cregger's Resident Evil is up on my blog on Beehiiv this morning. I loved Cregger's take on the franchise for the most part but there were a few things I wasn't a fan of. You can read all about it here: thekatatnight.beehiiv.com/p/resident-e...
Not to be totally insane but this is definitely the best book I've written to date

Pre-orders are important for indie authors: Money goes back into printing costs, shipping, ordering swag, travel costs for events, food and many other expenses associated with marketing, production, and selling books because we're often doing it ourselves or with a tiny team of people around us.)

Wrote a thing. It’s probably about you at some point. You know, pastries and death. Anyway, little cameo by @stephengrahamjones.com’s Not for Nothing. Ha. gabinoiglesias.substack.com/p/a-story-of...

Okay. @katsilvaauthor.bsky.social got me again in this beautiful book. “Maybe where the soul goes isn’t important. Maybe what’s important is how the soul endures when it’s at home in the human body.” Holy hell.
Where The Soul Goes is officially one year old now (yesterday)! I love this book so much--the first book where I've represented my asexuality, my love of food and community in this weird flooded alternate universe of the 80's. If you haven't read it yet, go grab it: books2read.com/u/mgAQk0

Todd Keisling@toddkeisling.com · 4w agoRecently finished an ARC of DICHOTOMY by @katsilvaauthor.bsky.social. More of you should be reading her, and this is the perfect place to start. I promise it won't be your last.
I've seen a few posts where people have been trying to exclude upcoming books from their Gothic TBR just because their round peg doesn't fit into classic Gothic literature's square hole. I'll just say this: Dichotomy is Gothic horror through and through. 1/3
Those lonely churches, near feral and half-swallowed by the land, cannot help but become folkloric nexus. Tales of tunnels used by smugglers come up under their altars. Their boneyards are patrolled by baleful Grims, their crooked spires are navigations for witch-flight. – #CLNolan

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

It's still sapphic for Sapphic September even if one is single and traumatized, and the other's wife is out of town, and they're trying to solve a mystery about a sister and best friend who went missing during a movie screening 30 years prior 😌🌈 cause sometimes, being gay involves solving a mystery
