On the one hand, I'm slightly bummed they changed the name from FAIL-SAFE to SKELETONS.
On the other hand, it sounds like the project is full steam ahead, which is excellent news.

COVER REVEAL!
My 4th story collection, TRAPS AND SPECTERS, will be out this September from Shortwave Publishing, and this is the brilliant cover by Alan Lastufka.
TRAPS features fourteen stories, including some never published, and in an introduction by Matt Dinniman.
Old news / new article.
Hoping that FAIL-SAFE goes into production this spring. Based on my story of the same name, from my collection BEHOLD THE VOID.

Sick!!! Love her! So stoked she’ll be in this!!
Nice review here for the upcoming novel.
"Sarafina is a savage meditation on war and the terror of a world that does not care if you understand it. By blending historical fiction, body horror, and cosmic elements, Fracassi crafts a story that feels immediate yet vast."

Proud to announce UNEARTHED, a new anthology I co-edited with Dan Coxon, featuring original stories from some of the best speculative writers across the globe. I hope readers enjoy the stories as much as we did. Thanks to Titan Books for publishing the book, which will release on Sept. 15. 🗿
All good I’ll just stalk Titan’s website! Thanks for the heads up!
Any idea when this one will come up for preorder?
Smithsonian will not be funded unless it censors itself and whitewashes US history.
This is a fun post to watch! Even though I got rid of Twitter I was still able to view it! Fuck ICE! Fuck Greg Bovino!

I guess "owning the libs" means destroying the economy, fucking healthcare, gutting medicare, bringing back measles, tanking jobs, pissing off global allies, invading foreign countries for resources, and shooting innocent people in the face.
Boy, you got us good.
Wish I could fast forward to January 20, 2029…
NYT offers a survey of the state of book publishing that feels hopeful. Also a nice mention for the newly-launched horror store, Twisted Spine. This is a gift article.
