Wow, I haven’t been on here in a while, and thought I should revisit it. Just now discovering they’ve added group chat. Anyway, how’s everyone doing? I still have no idea how to function on this platform.

“Sticking it to the man only hurts small businesses.” Exactly. That’s how they became “the man.” By making you reliant on them. Resistance to that hurts. It sucks. That’s not the fault of boycotting, but the fault of billionaires using you as a shield.

Saying a boycott on Amazon only hurts small businesses is more reason to boycott Amazon. They’ve skirted anti-trust laws for so long, they’ve made your small business hostage to them. We only break free of that if we stop allowing them to.

Since there’s an economic blackout today, I’ll only be using this platform. Problem is I’m still new to it, so I’ll probably be talking to myself. But that’s okay. It won’t be the first time.

Hey don’t buy my books on Friday. Seriously, please don’t. If you really want a copy of one of them of all of them or some of them, message me and I’ll accidentally give them to you for free.

Tomorrow DreadPop Magazine launches its story a week with Dispense by Clay McLeod Chapman. Get in now so you can be there for the magazine’s first ever story. And this is a hell of a tale to launch with. Here’s a little sneak peak at the story’s accompanying artwork (by Alexandrea Christianson).

A comedian faces the ghosts of his past while performing on stage. A father and son move to the country and come face to face with a local cryptid. A recovering alcoholic starts to believe his one night stand is demonic. The midway is filled with apparitions. Levitating: Stories #horrorbooks

My brand of horror tends to touch on grief, mental illness, and addiction. You could argue I’m writing what I know, but I think I’m writing what I don’t know. It’s what I live with, but I’m still trying to make sense of it. I’m asking myself questions I often don’t have the answer to.
