Everytime I log on here I think, I don't want to "do updates" or discourse or thoughts. I just want to write weird little threaded micro fictions.
New Hailey? Yes please!
🌈 Hailey Piper 🌈@haileypiperfights.bsky.social · last mo.THIS MOVIE DOESN'T END THE WAY WE WANT is out today! In 1994, three girls go to the movies to see an obscure film. Only one comes out. 30 years later, the survivor learns the movie isn't done with her yet. Now playing in a bookstore near you 😈📽️ www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/827994...
Reposting this because it's relevant again! Here in the Twin Cities, a bunch of horror writers are going to @okokno.bsky.social's book release party this Saturday, then getting drinks/lunch and chatting it up afterwards. Good horror-writerly things can happen locally if you put in the effort!
Eric Raglin@ericraglin1992.bsky.social · 2mo agoI'm not part of the HWA, but I do think everyone who attends a writing convention should feel safe and shouldn't have to deal with assholes creeping on them. A professional writing organization should actively work to ensure that safety and expel members who cross those boundaries.
This book captivated me. I reviewed it in the June issue of @libraryjournal.bsky.social. Details here: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Donyae Coles@okokno.bsky.social · 2mo agoI have a book coming out on Tuesday! My publisher gave me an option of either a launch day event or one for the weekend. And I said let's do the weekend cuz a lot of my community works so it will be easier for them to come out for a signing on Saturday. But that's not the real reason

My friends do my friends care a lot. My family however not so much I don't think they might. I don't know I'm estranged but like when I was starting the answer was pretty strongly no.

I read both of the main metabaron cycles and all of them have this moment where they cry a single tear and I know that's supposed to be serious and profound and show how manly they are. But all I can think about is that scene from cloudy with a Chance of meatballs. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8GDuRwC/

The art in the metabarons is so good. God I love a watercolor comics page.
The goal was to draw something simple to try a new acrylic technique. And here we are.
I finally read all of the Technopriests. Jodorowsky is so fucking unserious. It's full of all kinds of esoteric shit and on one level he is talking about the process of being an artist for money and I dig that but also the main character fusion ha's with his pet mouse and becomes a mouse man.
Eve is pretty amazing.
Chuck Tingle@chucktingle.bsky.social · 4mo agoTRANSMUTED by @eveharms.com is SO DANG GOOD and completely blew me away. eves voice is so compelling i really cant recommend this book enough. LA HORROR AUTHORS LETS TROT. also gotta give a shout out to audiobook narrator @ardenhughesvo.bsky.social GREAT performance www.amazon.com/hz/audible/p...
reminder to my trans homies: don’t stop living life for that decrepit ballsack in office
I read John bynes Next Men comic series. The reason I read it was because This video pitched it as the story about people who had superpowers that actually were more of a curse that ruined their bodies and their abilities to relate to people the more they use them. That was not what this was about
