Hot take incoming: I am seeing increasingly more agented authors getting deals based on pitches with small presses. I'm excited for them and at the same time, sad for all of those friends with no agent and equally fantastic books who cannot sell them. 1/?
@ghoulpus.bsky.social your story in Brave New Weird 4 is phenomenal
I want more money just so I can run another open call and pay way above pro rates
Kobo I don't want exclusive cases-just refresh the B&W Libra PLEASE
Even Gods Can Die is out now! This book has been in the works for a while, and it's a relief (and anxiety inducing) that it's finally released. Hopefully everyone checks it out (it's on kindle unlimited to save you some money)! Thanks to all the early readers and reviewers!
There are still many amazing writers of horror out there publishing increasingly stellar titles without selling their souls to AI. Aren't sure where to start? Read these folks: @nicole.mann.writer @emroy.bsky.social @crossedmoss @samanthaeatonwrites @viggyparhampton @micahcastle.com 🧵
So cool of Michaels to use very noticable AI for their Halloween decor this year.
Man whoever goes to my little town's local library's book sale is going to find so much weird fiction
New book coming out August 7 and it's gonna flop since it's off-genre and I'm trying to be okay with that
Two more boxes of books donated to the library. Four in total thus far. <2boxbooks.jpg>
In case anyone missed my little X-Files point and click daydream
My all time favorite Winkler book. Always recommend when the chance arises.
Kyle Winkler@bleakhousing.bsky.social · last mo.Would like to baldly push my wares here this morning, especially a novel of mine that gets scant attention among my other work: BORIS SAYS THE WORDS. The more I think on it, the more I wish this had a bigger audience. That is, say, 15 readers, instead of, say, 5. Etc. a.co/d/07My296K
Found out today that sales in some independent bookshops don't "count" towards "official" book sales as recorded for the bestseller list, just in case you wanted any more confirmation of how fucked up the world of publishing is in 2026.
It's the last day to vote! Anyone (member or not) can vote, so please consider help shape the next installment! 🙏
Selfies are considered content now, so that's something new I learned
I'm guess I'm rewriting this book after going editor notes through from scratch because I was a different writer when I wrote it, so that's cool
Choose Your Own Horror #4 is upon us and everyone can vote! This one will be different than the previous iterations that I think will be more interesting as a reader and challenging as an author.
If your protein powder has the consistency of Ivan Ooze's OOZE when wet, that's a no for me.
