The Authors Guild is now offering "Human Authored" certification marks for literary works in which "the text itself was fully authored by one or more human beings and not generated by AI." What a time to be alive!

A photo of me holding up H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu adapted and illustrated by R.J. Ivankovic in the style of a Dr. Seuss book for beginning readers.

I forgot to mention that Chaosium donated a bunch of merch for the big Call of Cthulhu game Saturday night at #lich2026, and I walked away with this adorable book!

Damn.

I'm starting to reintroduce wheat to my diet after eating gluten-free for over a month. What was the first meal I had? A bagel and cream cheese, of course!

People are saying SCREAM 7 is worse than SCREAM 3, and that's really saying something!

Thank you!

Big thanks to @benfrancisco.bsky.social for including MONUMENTS IN DARKNESS in his "Favorite Short Story Collections from 2025" roundup, calling it "an excellent collection of horror, dark fantasy, and weird fiction from a master of the genre." You can read the rest of the review at the link!

Every six months.

Back home from #lich2026! It was a lot of fun! Big thanks to head honcho Patrick J. Kennedy for inviting me as a "Guest of Horror" and Charles Barouch for putting together the program! Extra special thanks to Fred Van Lente and Crystal Skillman for being my travel buddies and convention companions!

I am now officially sold out of 100 FATHOMS BELOW! Thank you, #lich2026!

Thanks! 😁

It's always the books you don't expect, isn't it?

I'm almost entirely sold out of 100 FATHOMS BELOW and CHASING THE DRAGON, and yet newer books like MONUMENTS IN DARKNESS and the Dr. Laura Powell novels aren't selling as well. #lich2026

Last night was spent playing Call of Cthulhu with @fredvanlente.bsky.social (as gm), @crystalskillman.bsky.social, and others. My character, a gangster from Kew Gardens, just barely survived! #lich2026

I spent most of the day yesterday at #lich2026 selling books in the vendors room. I met a lot of interesting people, which made it fun, and also got to spend some quality time with friends I don't see often, like @joecorallo.bsky.social, @rbwood.bsky.social, and @nmamatas.bsky.social.

Day 2 at #lich2026! You can find me at my table all day today!

This morning's inappropriate breakfast conversation at #lich2026:

Does Spock ever accidentally mind meld with someone when he's fingering them?

The Old School Horror reading right after was also a lot of fun! Everyone read snippets of classic horror. I read Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee"! #lich2026

The Old School Horror panel at #lich2026 was a blast! Moderator @svpthinks.bsky.social did something different: he divided the panel into two teams and turned it into vintage-horror Password, like the old game show! It was so creative and more fun than the usual question-and-answer format!

Having dinner with @fredvanlente.bsky.social, @crystalskillman.bsky.social, and @joecorallo.bsky.social at #lich2026!

Damn. He was a weirdo, but The Terror is one hell of a novel.

@punktowner.bsky.social I forgot to tag you, sorry!
