Michael Wehunt

Exactly what I was thinking of. That's still in my camera roll for when I can't take the world (roughly three times a week).

Bless you, my astral-projecting friend.

This is so good. A better-than-the-already-intensely-good-I-was-expecting kind of good.

The October Film Haunt Horror Movie meets Stephen King in this heart-pounding, magnetic tour de force about a woman pulled into a cult horror film that is determined to have a sequel.

My goodness. Trevor Henderson has created this magnificent rendition of the Pine Arch Creature, which [spoiler alert] the fictional Trevor Henderson contends with in my novel The October Film Haunt.

This is magnificent. I'm in love with it. A manifestation of why Trevor Henderson had to be "Trevor Henderson" in the novel.

spending the chilly morning reading October Film Haunt by @michaelwehunt.bsky.social before work

damn terrifying stuff. The kind of book you don't risk reading before bed

I'm thrilled that you're reading it, Paul! And my new goal is to write the kind of book you also don't risk reading before work. :)

Does the nightjar remember the night?

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Are You There Margaret? It's Me, the Arcane, Unspeakable God You Communed With By Mistake.

This one really hurts. Rest well, Catherine O'Hara. You were a great talent, and few people in history have had such a sparkle in their eyes. 71 is too young.

Rural vs. urban is certainly more accurate. I think it gets lumped into state categories simply because of elections. I live in Atlanta and am depressingly aware of how isolated we are.

VCR screenlike background with text: "The October Film Haunt, Pine Arch Research collective, and all other Wehunt horrors stand with our nation's immigrants, due process, and constitutional rights. Abolish ICE. Prosecute ICE.

My story “The Teeth of America” (free at michaelwehunt.com/2020/05/31/t...) imagines the beliefs of white supremacists transmuting them into literal monsters. But as grim as this story was years ago, it failed to predict how fully the alignment of the U.S. government with such evil could be.

There are 3,800 kids in ICE custody.

I have been very much looking forward to Shelby Oaks and should really bump it to #1 on my list. Man Finds Tape also feels like it could share an affinity with the novel, so I need to watch that one, as well.

I appreciate all of this! Yeah, the pacing was certainly by design, but the fact that the book was typeset and packaged to look like a shorter novel than it is didn't do it many favors. It'll probably be a while before I write a novel that long again. Just glad it's been working for so many readers!

Por poco me quedo sin este libro del gran Michael Wehunt, autor del genial Un Lugar Mejor (Greener Pastures), ya que estaba fuera de stock en la web de la editorial Dilatando Mentes. Por suerte he podido hacerme con una copia in extremis 🍀 @michaelwehunt.bsky.social @dilatandomentesed.bsky.social

I'm so glad you got a copy!! Enjoy seeing me go a little darker, somehow. :)

Honored, Sam. And somehow only 8 months away 😳

Thanks, Chris. I've never thought about True Detective S1 in this context, but here's hoping there are more folks who loved its ending. :D

There are at least two or three stories in this one that legit broke my brain.

This made my day, Matthew. Thank you!

It DOES seem to be, doesn't it? 🫢

"No comment," said the heavy black lump and the Pine Arch Creature in the same grating voice.

What Bad Hand said! In fact, there's a scene in THE OCTOBER FILM HAUNT where Jorie watches a clip from a film project titled "The Pine Arch Collection," and there's a story in this collection called "The Pine Arch Collection." 🤔📼

😂 Perfect. No one who owns my book is getting a good night's sleep.
