"Why does my @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social package include a flyer for a retirement community?... Ohhh!" 🤣

Thank you! I had so much fun designing it, and I'm immensely grateful to @shortwavebooks.bsky.social for going along with my crazy idea. 🤣

A brochure for the Fairview Acres retirement community that is actually an ad for The Sundowner's Dance by Todd Keisling.

This is one of the best advertising gimmicks I've seen for a horror novel. It looks like a flyer for a retirement community. But it looks a little off...

There's a QR code on the back. It leads to a page for The Sundowner's Dance by @toddkeisling.com.

I did a thing today!

Stopped by @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social and saw @briankeene.bsky.social and @marysangiovanni.bsky.social, and had a blast. This constituted a mini-roadtrip for me, @ecfnj.bsky.social and @bluntlittletool.bsky.social, along with The Bug, and it was a glorious outing.

Hey, it #MondayReads time! Think of it like a key party, but you know, with books! Repost this post & tell us what you want reposted. Me, I no longer have a publisher. Doesn’t mean you can’t find my books.

Everyone should check out @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social Ebay site. I won 5 James A. Moore fantasy books and included in the package they sent me was a bonus book, a bunch of bookmarks and oddly a pamphlet for a senior living community. @briankeene.bsky.social

Made a visit to @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social today. I’m sad that they’re closing in December because they have a huge selection of horror books, sci-fi/fantasy books, crime books, and comics! If you can make the trip to Columbia, PA, check them out!

One of my grabs from @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social was “God Bomb” by @kitgonzo.bsky.social. A man with a bomb wants answers from God and is willing to take everyone around him to the grave.

YouTube video by Scott Edelman Let's visit the William M. Gaines memorial park bench!

Yesterday morning, I made a pilgrimage to the NYC memorial park bench of MAD magazine founder and publisher William M. Gaines. After nailing down the location, I recorded this video so you'd be able to do the same. May you someday make a pilgrimage of your own! youtu.be/ifQa-7db9b0
