It is just completely wild to me that I translated a POETRY COLLECTION from KOREAN TO ENGLISH and got it published by an American Big 5. This is unprecedented, a historic publication. When I pitched this book to Knopf, it was a total fantasy, and now... it's out. I can't believe we pulled it off.

There's still a little over a week to read and vote! If you haven't already, I'd love it if you read my ragey satire, "Laser Eyes Ain't Everything", which has been nominated for Best Short Story! www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-1... bsky.app/profile/lawo...

Sometimes you stay up past midnight reading and wake up refreshed anyway because the book was so darned satisfying. 😁 The Treasure Hunters Club is back to solve a mystery connected the disappearance of a lighthouse keeping family in 1930s! #booksky

Kulski did a reading from this at StokerCon and it was amazing! 👻

Ten years. Still here even with all the assorted difficulties with getting hands on these books. 💚 It's a feat in this industry to stay in print for this length of time. Thanks to all the readers who love Hail and Co. Thanks for enjoying and telling others about it. I appreciate you. #Booksky

My July reading wrap up!

How fun that StokerCon was the gift that keeps giving. I was at an author talk tonight (Christopher Golden and Stephen Graham Jones) and made some new friends with other folks in the signing line because we vaguely recognized each other from there. 😁

Well on the way to work today I’ve been learning about the historic Ottoman leech trade (complete with taxes and black market). #booksky

I’m signing editions of Pride and Prejudice at comic con now 🤣

The miso white chocolate cookies went over VERY well with my coworkers. 😁 hopefully all the other recipes I tried this past weekend are just as tasty!

I figured @sarahmackattack.bsky.social ‘s shrimp shirt was perfect for setting up the new Nature Library branch!

I may have the only cat who becomes sociable at the vet… seriously, at home you have to go through a strenuous vetting process and she will only let you touch her on very specific terms. At the vet she’s like “hold me close!” to everyone.

I had to stop and take a few minutes to doodle out a little dreamt visual of Mr Darcy.

Playing around with a little thermal camera we got for the library. 😁 I love how Duela’s little footprints show up for a bit!

Listen, if you are not following @trungles.com liveskeeting his reading of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE you are missing out on one of the rare, truly good and wonderful joys of 2026

And some titles I want to get to ASAP: THE BARBECUE AT NUMBER NINE by Jennie Godfrey, PAN by Francesco Dimitri, THOSE WHO PREPARE THE WAY by Lee Young-do, and PRUDENCE MARSH IS NOT A NOBODY ANYMORE by Emily Krempholtz -- three of those are authors I discovered last year and adored! #ewgc

THE KILLING OF A CHESTNUT TREE by Oliver K Langmead first appears fluffy, as the detectives investigate the appearance of flowers and the murder of a tree, but turns out to be a deeply comforting exploration of love, queerness, and community. It's shows that cozy can be active and powerful. #ewgc

THE REPAIRER OF REPUTATIONS includes the original Chambers story (creepy, but that cat is so weird!) as well a new Ed Park story inspired by it. And it's illustrated! It was fascinating to see how the exploration of horrific obsession changed from then to now. #ewgc

AS WE FALL THROUGH TIME by Claire North won't leave my brain. I love how they used time travel to explore everything from duty to grief to hope with such gorgeous language and characters I can't say goodbye to. And hey, they're time travelers so perhaps they're around somewhere still. 😜 #booksky

MOTHERSUCKER by Kim Bohyun: Police are stumped by a serial killer biting, stabbing, burning, and drinking the blood of random men, but leaving no clues behind. Turns out they've all harmed women. As men clog the police lines, seeking protection, the police must consider impossible solutions. #ewgc

Oof. All the grief reminders still hit hard. Joe’s birthday is this week so every day breathing feels harder. 😢

🤩 This ARC showed up and I am so excited! Fantasy inspired by Taiwanese myths and written by a librarian — I’m totally sold! #booksky

At least the bees seem to be enjoying this toasty weather!

I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane. Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

HUGE NEWS!!! The Writhing, Verdant End earned out its advance!!! I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who picked up a copy!!! @ericraglin1992.bsky.social, @tiffmorris.bsky.social, and I put our hearts into this weird work of eco-horror. We appreciate all the support!!!

This nearly killed me. We sorted through over 600 submissions. We debated the long and short lists in depth. I never dreamed AI would make it thru. It did. And dealing with the aftermath taught me that my reading mode makes finding these stories harder for me than the average. But you can read 👇
