First time being behind this one on the road:

Alyce Kills on this rainy fall Tuesday

Halloween watches so far: The Shining, Monster: Ed Gein, 28 Years Later, The Ring

Monster: Ed Gein Humans are just giant earthworms

"It's catharsis."
-- Rachel Harrison

Catharsis in all its many forms and flavors. Whatever needs cleansing, whatever needs release, horror'll take you by the hand, guide you through, and deliver you to sweetness.

Oh, Horror.
Nothing compares to you.

we spent the day packaging books. if you think it's a quick process, consider we hand-stamp envelopes, write thank-you notes on receipts, & include stickers/bookmarks. it's these personal touches that make us stand out from soul-less corporations like amazon. thank you for supporting indie horror.

Okay I work at a library now. Teenage me would be scandalized. I still have the first book I ever checked out, at age 7…

Applied to another job at another library, cross your fingers again and maybe more, this library is beef-free

a tumblr post. the first poll is "do you think you could take a werewolf?" the majority says yes. followup poll adds, "in a fight?" majority says no.

Please recommend your favorite monster erotica for us to stock in the shop!

Human Tenderloin is a collection of horror stories with heart. Some will goose the skin. Others will leave you bloated with terror. But each one will stay with you.

I need readers. Available on paperback, hardback and Kindle. Free on Kindle Unlimited.

It’s September, the perfect month to jump into a new short story collection featuring some horror stories and some stories that will keep you warm now it’s getting a little colder. THE SKIN WE FEEL MOST CONFORTABLE IN.

Cross your fingers, just applied to a library job but I’ve got beef with one of the librarians from way back because I’m an outlaw so we’ll see

They’re making kids lock up their phones at school now but when I texted my kid it was always about something important like dinner or Gucci Mane

I should probably mention that I co-host a podcast, Directional (directional.tv), with @newjorg.bsky.social and not only is there always a woman talking about games every episode (hi it's me) but we have a bunch of interesting interviews with cool smart women who have fascinating ideas 🔥

Hazy still frame from the test filming of Will Christopher Baer's "Kiss Me Judas," of a man waking up in a bathtub with a missing kidney. Text overlay reads: Rule 35 - box the black box the gost - scene from a still film that doesn't exist - willchristopherbaer.substack.com Bonus alt text: Chris and I met years ago, when I discovered he'd been working in a coffee shop where I got my regular fix... we probably interacted a dozen times without knowing it while I was writing my first novel (and he had two already out in the world). His debut is one of my all-time favorites and a major influence; my debut started making waves upon its release, and neither one of us knew we lived a stone's throw from one another.

"... rule 34 boils down to no such thing as unthinkable... rule 35 says the writers spin reality... rule 35 says the machines have no idea who they're fucking with..."

Indeed. Machines don't have any ideas.

At all.

But writers do.

'Rule 35' is my new rallying cry.
