I’m doing a (free!) virtual book launch for GRAPHIC RAGE on pub day (October 7)! You can register by clinking the annoyingly long link below to get a reminder on the day! us02web.zoom.us/rest/meeting...

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.

Thank you @andrewbertaina.bsky.social. These are the books MAGIC CAN'T SAVE US was always meant to party with! Honored.

SLM contributor Scott Garson has a new piece out in Story! 👏 And you can read an excerpt right here: buff.ly/V9F548c

Delighted to reveal the cover for my forthcoming book from @jacklegpress.bsky.social with huge thanks to amazing editor @fulmerford.com

I'm doing some talking here with the very cool @mallorysmart.bsky.social

Hard to pick anything else to read when there are so many Percival Everett books I haven't read yet.

In this episode of Off the Record, I read a very short story from MAGIC CAN'T SAVE US and then I recommend a song to go with it. Can you guess the song based on the lyric in the image below?

I have a new story in @havehashad.com today! so grateful as always to wonderful editor @aaronburch.bsky.social + all of you who read this one 🤍💀 www.havehashad.com/hadposts/may...

First time in at least twenty years that I have nothing submitted. Not a story. Not a novel. Nothing.

reposting this today because I have no marketing budget, because I'm publishing this with a tiny press run by a friend, because I put my whole heart into this book like I did with Boxcutters and I'm proud as fuck and this year has been one long painful but fruitful lesson in perseverance and risk

I've got 3 extra copies of YEAR OF THE BUFFALO, would love them to be in the hands of a reader rather than in my way on my desk. hmu and I'll send you one.

Summer’s here and the time is right to read Where the Pavement Turns to Sand while sitting next to a lake! Thanks for the kind words, bud! 🍻

Most anticipated book of the year!

Only a few hours left to vote for the cover of MAGIC CAN'T SAVE US! Follow the link here: bookjacketbracket.com

I don't know. Maybe book cover of the year?

I have a new story up at the wonderful Monkeybicycle today about sisters, ghosts made of clay, & holding on / letting go—grateful to editor @jamestatehill.bsky.social & any of who you read this one: monkeybicycle.net/my-clay-sist...

Why, hello. @bookshop.org has free shipping right now. Which means it's a great time to grab WE LIVED ON THE HORIZON from them. If you've been thinking about, say, class, revolution, surveillance, AI, altruism, and what makes us human. bookshop.org/p/books/we-l...

Y'know, reading at Sister might become a once-a-week thing. Power has been out at my place since 10 am, but $13 for a vegan Punk Rock Burger Special (Ketchup, Pickle, Onion burger + fries and a high life or root beer) in a booth with a good book is a great counter attack.

Okay so @badguybirnie.bsky.social has an extra copy of MAGIC CAN'T SAVE US! Who wants to be his reading buddy???

Please read MAGIC CAN'T SAVE US by Josh Denslow because you will laugh (& we all need laughter right now) and then we can talk about it. Check out my review, then get a copy: www.birchbarkediting.com/microlit-alm...

The Wigleaf Top 50 2025 will be up soon. This is the final one helmed by Shome Dasgupta, who has done so much for the series. Huge thanks @laughingyeti.bsky.social 🙏

My biggest dream as a writer has always been to have a book published by @twodollarradio.bsky.social. Did not succeed! But I always remain excited about what they put out. Especially looking forward to The Sofa.

I have a new story in @moonparkreview.bsky.social! Many thanks to @marylynnreed.bsky.social and Lesley C. Weston for publishing this oddball about sneezing/ "common courtesy." moonparkreview.com/issue-32-sum...

"Our sister went to help the people who came out of the volcano." Buckle up, folks, because @rpmirabella.bsky.social has an incredibly imagined story for us this week. Wondrous, human, and beautifully written, "Volcano People" ends on a note of perfect melancholy. Absolutely do not miss this one! 🌋

Been seeing a number of folks mention Magic Can't Save Us from @joshdenslow.bsky.social, and since I'm in my short story era, I realized I needed to pick it up so I can dig in too.

ICYMI: Check out @joshdenslow.bsky.social's unsettling exploration of marriage and family from our May issue! @splitlipthemag.bsky.social

I have no stories or novels or anything out on submission. Shut down my website. Canceled Duotrope for tracking. Feeling free!

👀 You know what we think you should do RIGHT NOW? 👀 Spend some time with FISSURES by Natalie Christensen, the vivid and evocative artwork in our May Issue: buff.ly/Nu8QP6M

Josh Denslow’s story “Going Peacefully” explores the way an item of clothing can open up a shivering longing. Here he shares just one thing about the piece. buff.ly/YwqgFso

MAGIC CAN'T SAVE US by @joshdenslow.bsky.social is a superb novel that both laments and lampoons contemporary masculinity through the lens of various mythological creatures. My review at @ancillaryreview.bsky.social - ancillaryreviewofbooks.org/2025/05/29/m...
