look at those goobers

Yesterday at Books and Brews 2.0 was sooooo much fun. Got to hang out with @jonathanjanz.bsky.social, @claymcleod.bsky.social, @adamcesare.bsky.social and @rachelharrison.bsky.social!

Good lord does EVERYBODY’S book come out on September 9th? I’m gonna get myself all covered in HOT WAX compliments of M.L. Rio. This one’s gonna burn.

A total bonus to this weekend was participating in a pair of fundraising anthologies for Books & Brews/Books of Horror. I got my hands on copies of both THERE’S BLOOD IN THIS BREW (featuring my story ‘loophole’) and F$&@$ AROUND AND FIND OUT (featuring my story ‘swallowbox’) and they’re both beauts.

(thank you for still talking to me after reading it...)

He's such a strange little creature... I love him!

aaaaw

The book "Wake Up and Open Your Eyes" by Clay McLeod Chapman

Imagine if someone turned a Black Mirror episode into a book 📺 It explores the dangers of far right propaganda & liberal complacency in a very raw and unsettling way. Though I would definitely recommend look at the content warnings before reading.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Books and Brews was an absolute blast. I got to see heroes and great readers and amazing writers. I got to hang with Thomas Olde Heuvelt, Rachel Harrison, Alma Katsu, Adam Cesare and Marcus Kliewer, which was such a cherry on top to a wonderful day. #booksandbrews

LIES

If Books and Brews was Wall Street, I was just asked to ring the opening bell. Check out that line!

This is my table for the next seven hours. I don’t have any books to sell so I’m just gonna dance. #booksandbrews

First day of Books and Brews highlight: Got to meet Thomas Olde Heuvelt in person for the very first time and regrettably geeked out a little too hard about HEX. Got to do a panel with Adam Cesare and Rachel Harrison and hang with Haley Newlin.

I have learned that, in lieu of clothes, I can pack ten copies—I repeat: ten copies—of ACQUIRED TASTE with me to Books & Brews in Indiana this weekend, going on sale Friday at the author signing. First come, first serve, no dibs, no holdsies. See you this weekend!

Seeing authors engage about their work on bsky has led me to buy more book than I have in YEARS!!

Took me forever but I finished "wake up and open your eyes" and the ending is just as brutal as the entire book. If you're cool with being very uncomfortable for a good amount of time, highly recommend

🦀👁️🦀👁️• @bookish_apple I’m always in for a gut-punch when I pick up one of Clay McLeod Chapman’s books, but it is worth every tear and frightened gasp.
