My 17th and 18th books will release this year 🖤
One novel to make you shudder and one novel to make you cry, and both up for pre-order now—that's how we roll around here, bay-bee 😘
It's going to be a wild year of horror fiction.
Celebrating the release of my book by watching the live action One Piece. My daughter’s absolute joy as the new characters each appear on screen for the first time is worth every second.
This book is so magnificent
Man I wanna play this sounds amazing

I am a crone horror bird in a lazy flesh coffin
I don't know you, but yeah, that's sword lesbian to me
Wow the way this skeet just transported me backward through TIME
YES. @mariadongwrites.bsky.social
Heads up that my publisher is running a kindle giveaway for this one on goodreads RIGHT NOW: Aviary by Maria Dong www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...
So, uh, guess who’s a Stoker Award finalist…
And to be nominated alongside some of my favorite authors/horror people…
Y’all!
Come for the weird fish-person sex, stay for the capital F FEELINGS instead
1.on weightless books or bookshop.org
2. Special "perks" only available for that edition/purchase outlet
3. Ease of checkout, esp integration with payment vendors that I already have an account w
4. Cheaper - you can price lower than Amazon if it's a different "edition", e.g. "special edition"
My first "By the Numbers" was in the Mar/Apr 2021 F&SF!
Each entry examines an aspect of genre publishing - magazines, awards, publishers, etc.
This one asks: What are the experiences of people of color in the publishing industry?
(Not counting my experiences LOL)

"incredibly ominous with some super effectively horrific vibes throughout"
"I was engaged from the start of the book and clinging on to the words until the very end...things get culty VERY FAST."
"There are moments where I felt asked to question how i delineate good and evil. What makes a person a monster? ... I'm glad I read this".
"This is an immensely powerful, thought provoking, terrifying novel...This is definitely a book that sits with you, one you'll think about late at night, or pouring your morning coffee. Truly impactful."
"The commentary on privilege, power, exploitation of the vulnerable, and the utterly powerless nature of being a young woman in this world is crafted beautifully"
"This feminist body horror thriller is captivating, terrifying, and thought-provoking ... I found it hard to breathe the entire time I was reading."
"a timely, horrific, and rather heartbreaking read"
"a visceral, gritty, exploration of abuse, addiction, and the intersection of art and multiculturalism. It forces the reader to question who can truly be trusted when you are a stranger in an even stranger place."
Here are some excerpts from the goodreads reviews coming in from total strangers (each comment = a separate reviewer)
Just a quick note that I have an unhinged, feminist, Korean(-American), queer, genre-bending, literary psychedelic body horror coming out April 7th, 2026: severnhouse.com/books/aviary/
