Yes, sort of, lol. For a little book, it's got a lot of ideas. But the MacGuffin is definitely a haunted/cursed painting.

All good things...

We All Fall Before the Harvest goes out of print on May 3rd.

I don't know when, or if it will ever go back into print, so if you've been wanting to read this one, now is the time to do so.

Cheers!

Tron: Ares | Official Trailer
YouTube video by Disney Tron: Ares | Official Trailer

I absolutely loved Tron Legacy. Movie and soundtrack! This looks like it will be as good or better on both fronts. Only time will tell, but the trailer has me pretty damned excited!

I agree! I think a lot of the New French Extremity films share DNA with Giallos.

It was unexpected, to say the least! He asked if Joe Hill could jump aboard as well, and I was like, Steve, let's save something for book 3!

We can finally let the cat out of the bag, Steve! I certainly never had a sequel in mind, but when the man himself @stephenking.bsky.social calls you up asking to co-write part 2, you don't say no! We All Fall Before the Harvest 2! Coming soon. #stephenking #cmforest @timberghostpress.bsky.social

Watched Argylle tonight. While I enjoyed it, I can see why it tanked at the box office. Besides the misdirection of the marketing, the movie was downright ludicrous in the last act. Still, probably would have done much better as a streaming exclusive. I give it a 3/5. Have you seen it?

I talked a bit about metafiction, creative inspiration, Emily Dickinson, and my latest story, "Dread Robin", featured in pulp MAG's spring issue. Check it out.

Little ghosts bandanas (rainbow & black with white print), the little ghosts sticker pack, and the reading ghost stickers all splayed out. 5 stickers, one is a ghost curled up with a coffee on a pink poof, a ghost in yellow rain boots reading while surrounded by plants, a little ghost balancing three books on its head, a ghost in a toque reading a tattoo book while covered in little blue tattoos, and a ghost curled up reading on a couch under a blue quilt.

MOUTH was unleashed one year ago today (for real this time πŸ˜…)

Crazy to think our weird, sweet, horrific teeth angel has been out in the world that long. I’m so grateful to every single person who has taken the time to read, review, and share the book. This book has been life changingβ€”

My current read. I was fortunate enough to be a guest at an event with @christinahenry.bsky.social last year (Books and Brews in Chicago) and got this one signed. Fun read so far!
