"I'm here about the dead chicks" would make a great book title. Your post office sounds a lot more interesting than mine.

Michael Shotter’s review of Grad Night Horror novels are tricky to pull off. In much the same way that many horror films struggle to justify their length beyond 90 minutes, horror novels have a tall order to live up to, providing enough th...

Recently finished my first @carverpike.bsky.social read. See my Goodreads review for details but horror fans should absolutely check this book out!

For years people have asked when there would be an audiobook version of Grad Night. Well, here it is, thanks to Joe Hempel at Fright Night Audio for putting it all together and to Anna Maste for doing such an awesome performance of my book. This is exciting: www.audible.com/pd/B0CRJ3TGXG

Had a nightmare last night. Stephen King was angry about something I'd apparently said about his writing in an interview. So he sent Pennywise after me. I was trapped in this house with Pennywise stalking me while King himself made fun of lines from my books via voice over. Don't mess with King.

Exactly. That's what I love about Hurwitz's Orphan X series and Stephen Hunter's Swagger books. They just get down to business.

I love badass assassin/revenge kind of books like the Orphan X series, but I don't think I've tried straight up spy novels other than the Bourne books and that's not really spy.

I've seen his books everywhere and never picked one up until now. Just bought the one you mentioned. If it's not overly complicated, I might be able to get into it.

Here's the 2nd chapter of Discovering Ivory in a Charcoal Cave. Someone told me earlier that the first chapter was very deep and wondered if it becomes positive. I think this second chapter shows that it does. The 3rd is a lot of fun. The full book is available on the Zon.

Who else is watching A Murder at the End of the World on Hulu? I'm only three episodes in but so far it's been pretty cool. It's a dark, modern whodunnit. Oh, and Squid Games the Challenge is awesome. It's a reality show version of the regular show. I think the finale comes to Netflix today.

Discovering Ivory in a Charcoal Cave isn't like my other work because it's not horror. It's a poetic journey to beat depression. I'll eventually change the book and create a Shel Silverstein like version with sketches to accompany each stanza. Here's a chapter 1 promo video. youtu.be/DwMOcvjVwbE?...

Umm... I'm alone in the master bathroom, nobody's in the bedroom on the other side of this door, and Alexa has said twice, "Hmm, what do you want to turn on?"
Nope!

I don't know anything about basketball, but I do know that EVERYBODY better box out! Boxing out, whatever it is, is important enough for the middle school coaches from both teams to yell it the entire game. "Box out!"

Wu-Tang earns you immediate respect. Black Eyed Peas? I don't know! Maybe tomorrow I'll try Mobb Deep.

I've decided today is going to be an awesome day. Nothing is stealing my joy. The cats might think I'm a little bit crazy since I'm dancing around the house singing along to 'Lets Get it Started' by the Black Eyed Peas playing as loud as Alexa will play it. Today is MY day!
