YouTube video by Bringing Down The Band Questlove Shares D'Angelo "Voodoo" Stories & Rick Rubin Declares It "Absolutely Perfect" Album

This Questlove story, in which he details intentionally almost ruining a Roots concert to impress D’Angelo because he knew they were musical soulmates, is a perfect example of their genius. Before they’d even met—and speaking only through rhythm—they created an all-time sound. Its incredible. Watch:

Holy crap, Keith, thank you!! This means more than I can say, coming from you!!

Rest Stop Check out Rest Stop - <p>A young musician finds himself locked inside a gas station bathroom in the middle of the night by an unseen assailant, caught between the horrors on the other side of the door...

Few horror writers land that perfect combo of malevolence and glee as @natcassidy.bsky.social. I'm reading his novella REST STOP right now, and my god, it's just singing. Crackling off the page, and both scary and FUN to read. The dude understands horror.

one of the realest tributes to Prince anybody did after he died. Somebody major needs to get on TV and do for “The Charade” what D’Angelo did here

I just shouted "No" in my office. One of the most brilliant musicians of the modern era, with a discography that's heartbreakingly small but unquestionably perfect.

I am so excited to see @renatakeller.bsky.social’s book in the world! This is a terrific and brilliant history of the Cuban Missile Crisis and its impacts across the Americas — it’s also accessible and super engaging. Highly recommended!!

The cover of Little Horn (title spelling out in bound sticks and twigs), flanked by the words "Out Today!" on both sides.

Each story features an accompanying full-page illustration by the author.

Out today in hardcover, paperback, and ebook!

I have a VERY similar origin story!!

An absolute classic. This book blew my mind when I first read it.

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

Everyone is pointing out how obsessed he’s been with mortality lately, and that’s notable, but this also feels like a backhanded commitment to giving up any illusions of being good.

An alternate version of MISERY, set during awards/lists season, where Annie Wilkes realizes just how annoying and depressing it is to spend too much time around a writer.

The only way we save our country is through our numbers.

Trump and MAGA don't have the majority, not even close.

Overwhelm them with numbers. Resist everywhere. They are too reckless, incompetent, and self-destructive.

Also, divide and conquer. Many fissures, especially around Epstein.

Book cover, Valancourt Book of Horror Stories II

Today's spooky Kindle $2.99 deal is THE VALANCOURT BOOK OF HORROR STORIES, Vol. 2! It features 14 rare tales (some original), all by your favorite Valancourt authors. A bargain for this fun collection of horror gems: www.amazon.com/Valancourt-B...

Listen to the response to this and look how easy it is to say it.

You should also check out the audiodrama itself, which is available wherever audiobooks are sold, and features an incredible cast, led by the immaculate Ashlie Atkinson (Mamie Fish on The Gilded Age) and including formerly-mustached horror novelist Nat Cassidy as Lloyd the Xenobiologist ...

I like to think of it as my training-wheels novel; since Mac had already taken care of the plot, I got to use this opportunity to learn how to tell a story in book form. And I think I did a pretty okay job!

The paperback is out of print, so if you're curious, jump on this deal!

oh HEY, I've never seen this e-book discounted before! My first published book! A novelization of the multimillion-downloaded doomed-romance-scifi-noir-heist audiodrama (a true classic of the DooRoSciNoist genre) by brilliant audioscribe, @macrogers.bsky.social.

Okay let's do this - Oct 1 - middle grade horror books you should read DAY ONE

When i decided i wanted to write middle grade, I knew I needed to read some modern ones and this was the first book I picked up. It was incredible.

really striking the degree to which not a single person working in the trump administration appears to be interested in serving the american people

One of the top tier opening scenes hands down
