Next to a cover of GIRL IN THE CREEK, this quote: "Wagner combines the body horror of classic King, the tension of Crichton techno-thrillers, and the nostalgic fun of creature features into a love song to the beautifully terrifying grandeur of the Pacific Northwest. Both a critique of the modern true crime landscape and a deep contemplation of humanity’s environmental devastation." --Maria Dong, Author of Liar, Dreamer, Thief and Psychopomp

Did you all see this amazing blurb for GIRL IN THE CREEK from the brilliant @mariadongwrites.bsky.social ???

Power to Yield and Other Stories by Bogi Takács Broken Eye Books is publishing the collected short stories, Power to Yield and Other Stories, of Bogi Takács.

I've seen two roundups of queer books on the Locus finalists list so far, and my book was absent from both, so just a reminder that it is in fact a queer & trans & intersex (!) book and it is a Locus finalist title.

Vim is the original escape room

We're officially at 67%; now taking prompts for a song about the devil!

Oh my God this is literally by the writer producer of Starship Iris which is not only one of the best audiodramas of all time, it's dare I say one of the best pieces of WRITING of all time I backed this so fast I gave myself whiplash

The kindle edition of The Devil is still only $2.99! Get it if you like:
- Horror, crime, and magical realism
- Books that make racists angry
- Chaos, grief, violence, mayhem, ghosts, magic, and a bit of religious mutilation
- Movies! [REDACTED] and every copy helps!

Is she going to get a single penny from it? Because unless her bank account won’t be “infused” with HBO’s money, I don’t want to hear a goddamn thing about it.

"We used the unreliable plagiarism machine trained on books stolen from a bunch of you by tech dweebs who think a computer can do your job and is also destroying the planet to help decide whether to invite you" is really fucking insulting and embarrassing

“We used the earth destroying plagiarism machine that stole your work to see if you’re cool enough to work for us for free” is not the flex they think it is.

So like, what's our next move, peeps? We boycotting or what

Most if not all of the writers on these panels are involved in (or entitled to be involved in) class action suits against the people who created these plagiarism machines and are actively stealing from us for industrial use. It BOGGLES MY MIND that you thought this was appropriate.
