just putting this here no reason

Abolish ICE. Prosecute every abuser of human rights. Prosecute those who gave the orders. Every last one.

Oh, HELL yeah

My very first book under contract with Simon & Schuster. Comes out in less than two months. It’s very gay and filled with a ton of rage/grief/horror. My agent refers to this book as “A LITTLE LIFE written by the love child of David Cronenberg and Clive Barker.” 🖤

Have you picked up a copy of AT DARK, I BECOME LOATHSOME by @ericlarocca.bsky.social in paperback yet? 🖤

From a master of horror fiction comes a grim yet gentle, horrifying yet hopeful tale of grief, trauma, and love.

A favorite ❤️

The Iliac Crest by Cristina Rivera Garza

Picked this up on a whim today during the storm after first purchasing it a few months ago at The Twisted Spine. This novel was exceptional. Pure nightmare fuel. A mystifying literary maze, a perplexing tangle of both flesh and ideas concentrating on the complexities of gender, language, memory.

Mother of Flies

An unspeakably evil, evil film. Every shot feels like it’s composed of poisonous rot and decay. Needless to say: I loved this. Exactly the kind of cursed, challenging art we need in the world right now.

We've had some amazing queer horror suggestions come in that the programming team is excited to look at, but I actually don't think I've seen any trans horror specific ones come through yet. This might be a side effect from the lack of queer horror panels last year, but (cont...)

Wrote a book? Cool, now write the next one. Out on sub? Write the next one. Won an award? Write the next one. Didn’t even get nominated? Write the next one. Querying agents? Write the next one. Waiting for pub day? Write the next one. Always be writing the next one.

I really hope Stokercon has a panel on trans horror this year.

My new novella BODIES OF WORK arrived and it may be one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever gotten my hands on. Too bad the story inside is probably one of the weirdest, darkest things I’ve ever written… but that’s kinda the point, yeah? On shelves April 7th! Thank you @titanbooks.bsky.social
