It was fantastic! Mona is so inspiring. And Amy Jones, her interviewer had such incredibly insightful questions. So fun

Dressed up for the Playhouse In Conversation with Mona Awad. Can't wait!

Cover of the hardcover edition of Richard Kadrey's The Flesh King.

Really enjoyed Richard Kadrey's The Pale House Devil (I enjoy all his books!) so excited to check out The Flesh King.

For people who love weird short stories—Did you know the incredible Lackington's archive is still online? You should read it now while we still have an internet lackingtons.com

Going to see Nine Inch Nails again, this time in Hamilton.

Did I just see Nine Inch Nails in Toronto? Yes. Am I going again because they're playing in Hamilton? Also yes. No idea when or if I'll get the chance again so might as well go for it.

I just think this last month or so has been really entertaining! I don't think I've ever enjoyed watching them but they seem to be having a lot of fun lately.

I was pretty sure I was going to see this on the big screen anyway because I am a massive NIN fan, but you've made me hope there might be something more exciting/interesting to look forward to here.

My husband has been making me watch the Blue Jays for like 20 years and it's finally pretty good.

DISCO MURDER CITY: Eligible for Best First Novel And a tripped out photo of Travolta from Saturday Night Fever

Award eligibility on the dance floor!

DISCO MURDER CITY just might be the queer batshittery you and your colleagues need tonight.

If you’re HWA, jury, board, or anything of the sort, say hi and I can get you a review copy.

Always room for another body at the disco 🔪

I am not currently in need of the workshop, but I will say that Eric's nonfiction query resources are, I think, what made my nonfic proposal strong enough to get an agent and a book deal. Super helpful and insightful.

Jenny Kiefer's Crafting for Sinners. The cover features a pair of crocheted hands on a praying pose.

Happy book birthday to @jennykiefer.com and Crafting for Sinners! As a crafty person, this book feels hilariously disgustingly accurate and I loved it. You should read it especially if you are also a crafty person (who is not squeamish)

Yeah, wild right?

We watched What Lies Beneath because it's been a while and it's on Criterion. The biggest plot twist is that it was written by Clark Gregg.

No Good Art Comes From Greed | Defector The packages arrived square and thin and carefully wrapped on Saturday afternoon. There were three of them, but only one was mine. If I could have rejected my package, sent it back from whence it came...

The state of online media is such a bummer, I sometimes think: who cares? Then, I read something so smart and so funny and so uniquely the product of this compromised but generative space, that I remember: I care!

DISEASE OF FINITUDE! Digital Zine.

THE DIGITAL ZINE IS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR READING PLEASURE BABYYYYYY

Hell yeah this is on regular rotation still. The whole soundtrack is great but I think this one is my fave.

oh, this looks great, adding to my miles-long list of books to read...

Letterboxd October faves: Twin Peaks Fire Walk with Me, Hellraiser, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and The Fly. Last Four Watched: They Live, The Sound of Music, Minority Report, and Wonder Boys.

#LetterboxdFriday, here's my #LastFourWatched: They Live and Minority Report are enjoyable, I should like The Sound of Music but I don't, and Wonder Boys is one of my faves about writers. October faves aren't much different than my regular faves to be honest, but I switched them up.

sorry to be boring about this, but the tired line about "this kind of work is only possible via subscribers" is still true, there's no way we have the time or space to do stories like this otherwise

the scary cover of The Flesh King

THE FLESH KING, the sequel to THE PALE HOUSE DEVIL, will be out October 7th. It continues Ford, Neuland, and Tilda's story back home in New York, where they search for an immortal killer. It's available for preorder wherever you get your books.

Please use alt text when posting illustrations or photos or other images. I realize it feels like an inconvenience if you didn't ever do it at the other place, but folks who need it are a zillion times more inconvenienced every single day.

Probably nothing better as an editor than asking an author, what do you think about this, and hearing them reply oh that's interesting, I never thought about it like that but it totally makes sense for the story. Highlight of my week for sure.

Yes but they both have kickass soundtracks which I listen to way more than I watch the movies so I'm grateful.

When you’re publishing your publisher friend. @alexwoodroe.com wrote an amazing horror sci-fi banger! So stoked be publishing her!

Hey authors, the official list of Anthropic works is available for searching.

Oh yes, this is so right! I also love those Price movies, that makes so much sense.
