Don't worry everyone, I just bought a fresh box of baby wipes from Costco, so they'll go on sale now.

Used to Be Some Kind of Badass Fiction by Andy Boyle

My story “Used To Be Some Kind of Badass” is up at Cold Caller Magazine. It’s a tale of brothers, revenge, and unfinished business. Check it out.

Pig races are the biggest bust, man. 5 minutes of the same pig puns you've already heard, then 10 seconds of action. I don't care about the backstory of Ham Solo or The Notorious PIG, just lemme see them hogs run.

Anybody read this graphic novel by @tananarivedue.bsky.social and Steven Barnes, illustrated by @marcofinnegan.bsky.social? I'd kill to get any Due novel in theatres—or miniseries?! Looking at you, African Immortals Series—but I really need to see Aisha's story on film.

Incredible story. I had to read it any chance I got. So far, it's my favourite release of the year. The history, Good Stab's love for the people he cares about, the horrors, and Etsy! What an ending.

Stephen, you're an inspiration. Truly.

Finished THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER in the walmart parking lot of walmart while my wife grabs the kids some ketchup chips (they've been asking for days) and—beyond my love for the book—I'm always brought to tears by the acknowledgment sections @sgj.bsky.social writes.

The love in his heart, man...

Horror heads: @cohalloran.bsky.social explores ghost stories rooted in today’s living spaces beyond the Victorian mansion: townhouses, flats, apartments above off-brand laundromats. Because even without creaky attics, the dark still knows how to find us.

@cohalloran.bsky.social is an author of dark fiction and president of @howlsociety.bsky.social. His novel "Pushing Daisy" is a haunting exploration of grief and toxic relationships. I loved his portrayal of flawed characters, which is also my favorite way to write stories!
