Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein was an excellent interpretation of the original text. Definitely go see it if you can!

Thank you!

Cover reveal for my forthcoming novel, Island X! I'm absolutely thrilled with how this came out. Joey at Mad Axe Media completely understood my vision.

Watching Soylent Green for the first time. The dystopic parts make for good sci fi still but the machismo makes me want to puke/DNF. #butitwasadifferenttime 🤮

I can't wait!

Definitely watched part of Weapons though my fingers, but did anyone else feel a little misled by the opening narration?

There was some excellent body horror in Together. I do have some questions about the drugs... But of course I do.

Finished the rough draft of my WIP on the flight back from Necon. It feels like an awful, no good, very bad draft, but it's done and can really only get better. So grateful for all the support this weekend that pushed me to the end. 🖤

Necon bound!

It's nice to not have to remove our shoes at the airport anymore, but this morning at COS one of the agents said "no peanut butter, no jelly, no 8 tracks,"so some rules are still questionable to say the least.

Health insurance in the US is a racket and I'm ready to run head first into a wall.

I was quite young when I became obsessed with this movie. I took it out of the VHS case, left that on the shelf to hold its place, and hid the tape in my toy box so I could watch it every night after bedtime.

Good luck tomorrow! Finding your audience in person can be very hard, but even if the people at the event show little interest that doesn't mean that no one is interested. And enthusiasm for your own work can go a long way.

My husband loves to tell me about myself and insist that I'm a sci-fi horror writer. 😂

Me: Is it sci-fi if there are multiple timelines but-

Husband: Yes. It doesn't matter what comes after that, it's sci-fi.

Shit like this is why I find it absurd that NPR is described as left leaning.

Join me to celebrate @chrstnabergling.bsky.social's new book, Red Walls!

I'll be selling and signing at the Creepatorium with @bookwitch-saenz.bsky.social, @thewarriormuse.bsky.social, @ryan-lamantia.bsky.social, and others! Hope to see you there!

It's crazy that I feel like I used to know this, doubted it, and am figuring it out again.

Stay tuned for more to come!

hey thanks!

Alright you Halloween people, you convinced me to join! I was never good at that ~other place~ but I think I'll like not always needing a picture here. Prepare to deal with all my silly little thoughts.
