"Dear Diary, my middle-aged angst has a body count. Coupland was a boomer—this is the sci-fi crime novel for Generation X." -Nick Mamatas, author of Kalivas! Or, Another Tempest and I Am Providence

Crimson blooms against black, kaleidoscope nightmare baring its teeth biting into the beat of my heart which slows and stills and stops #HorrorWritersChat

You finally pry your eyes open. You can’t breathe. Burning vines sink deep into your throat and joints. Gilded thorns shear your body open. You weep. The dreams. They beckon you again. “I can’t resist any longer. My bloodshot eyes close.” Continue it. #HorrorWritersChat

This is a seriously fucking great read. I read it in a sitting and it lives rent free in my head now.

Hell is empty and all the horror is here Rat-She is born today. mybook.to/Rat-She After bombs have fallen across the globe, horrific disfigurements & mutations arise. Orla & Silas need to find the Surgeon, the one person who can cut out that which has invaded the body. It is a race against time.

Release Day Blues There IS a paperback of Rat-She but scheduled date has gone a bit awry at KDP, currently sorting it out with them now. Don't normally schedule pbs and now I remember why 😅

Yay, I've seen the seen the cover for my new gothic horror, A Fragile Thing. Created by @shroddey.bsky.social and @watertowerhill.bsky.social it is truly beautiful. I might share it with you soon, or make you wait a bit, who knows ... 😅 Out March 17th. #booksky #horrorwriting #gothic #horror

Some lovely words from @mothfrenzy.bsky.social for Rat-She. Gave me an excuse to start playing with graphics. And, as always, no AI involved in any of this. Book cover by me. mybook.to/Rat-She

For Day 34 of Sludgemas, @mothfrenzy.bsky.social brings a rec to the table that is the perfect embodiment of the spirit of the season. TELEKINETIC YETI - "ABOMINABLE"

@mothfrenzy.bsky.social brings a cinematic and heavy record to the table for Sludgemas Day 38! CULT OF LUNA & JULIE CHRISTMAS - "MARINER"

And for the FINAL selection for Sludgemas 2025, we have this record from @mothfrenzy.bsky.social! He says, "These guys play the kind of groovy, sludge-punk I ADORE. SoCo metal at it's best." Thanks for following us, see you next year 😉 16 - "DROP OUT"

@mothfrenzy.bsky.social brings more punishing, sludgy goodness to Sludgemas Day 31 this evening! BISMUTH - "THE SLOW DYING OF THE GREAT BARRIER REEF"

@mothfrenzy.bsky.social brings another classic record to the table for Day 32 of Sludgemas. A great concept record not to be missed! THE OCEAN - "PELAGIAL"

@mothfrenzy.bsky.social brings blistering metal to Day 33 of Sludgemas with this soundtrack of doom. INTER ARMA - "SULPHUR ENGLISH"

Every time bookmail shows up at the house, my son says, "Mom, you got some more Stephen Graham Jones." I like it. And approximately half the time, he's right 😂 #Booksky @sgj.bsky.social

Sludgemas Day 28 continues with another spot on rec from @mothfrenzy.bsky.social ! GRIEF - "COME TO GRIEF"

@mothfrenzy.bsky.social brings more pummeling heaviness to his Sludgemas Day 29 pick! YOB - "THE GREAT CESSATION"

Day 27 of Sludgemas brings the start of *two* spotlights per day, one from me and one from @mothfrenzy.bsky.social ! My choice for today is.... AGRICULTURE - "THE SPIRITUAL SOUND"

Sludgemas Day 27 continues with @mothfrenzy.bsky.social 's stellar choice, which I didn't know counted J Mascis as a member 🤯 WITCH - "SELF-TITLED"

This is wonderful. Go in thinking, "kindly, well spoken British librarian," walk out going, "what just happened to me?" Love this, Steph. @horrorbookshelf.bsky.social
