Ski bums of #minnesota

I maintain most of my new year's resolutions. That's bc I don't make a list of chores. I make a list of things that will make me happy. Five years ago, my goal was to watch two movies a week; I've kept that resolution rolling through 2026. I've got many more. But what are yours?

My wife and i saved issues 1 and 2 of The End Times for a lunch date today so we could read, react and speculate together. Such a suspenseful treat delivered in the most unique, compelling way. Thank you, @badhandbooks.bsky.social, @benjaminpercy.bsky.social, and @stephenking.bsky.social!

#MarvelComics Preview: Punisher: Red Band #4 - THE #PUNISHER is an unstoppable force... he now finds himself back in New York City and somehow at the mercy of WILSON FISK! @benjaminpercy.bsky.social #comicsky Read the preview here:

I'm seeing a lot of "Best Of" and "Top 25, 10, 5" lists coming out, and here's an underloved 2025 horror film I think deserves more of a spotlight. "Abraham's Boys" (currently streaming on @shudder.com ) is an elegantly shot, patiently paced family drama that burns with paranoia and creeping dread.

Coal in your stocking.

Happy holidays from Krampus and the Christmas chicken.

Today's mail brought the latest issue of The End Times, the serialized novel from @benjaminpercy.bsky.social and @stephenking.bsky.social, published by @badhandbooks.bsky.social, and I find myself wondering what my local post office makes of it. Do they think I subscribe to a survivalist newspaper?

Tune in tomorrow -- 8PM, December 24th -- for Heart and Hearth, a special broadcast put together by @imjacobaloi.bsky.social at @mprnews.org . There will be many holiday delights, and I'll even read you a Christmas ghost story. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1... #minnesota

Can we get to the part of the holidays where people stop emailing me?

I can't say what the project is -- not yet -- but @raulfdez.bsky.social is blowing up my inbox with some thrilling, eerie, and gorgeous art today.

It is mandatory to make tiny screaming sounds when biting into a gingerbread man.

Attended a holiday market -- which is essentially a comic con for Christmas nerds. Shoulder-to-shoulder crowds. Overpriced bad food. People cosplaying as Santa and Rudolph. Limited-edition mulled wine mugs.

Finished @benjaminpercy.bsky.social’s The End Times issue 2 last night and…wait, Zeb Wells? What a made up name! #comicsky @badhandbooks.bsky.social

What’s better than all the news that’s fit to print? The very most of the little we know. Catching up on The End Times @benjaminpercy.bsky.social @stephenking.bsky.social @badhandbooks.bsky.social

Hey look, issue 2 of THE END TIMES showed up! Will have to put off starting it until my replacement of issue 1 arrives (darn USPS), but this thing is so friggin cool. Congrats, @benjaminpercy.bsky.social!

Gotta keep up to speed on all apocalyptic possibilities. Congratulations to my friend @benjaminpercy.bsky.social on this newsprint novella, a story that literally unfolds. As the son of a paper mill worker, I approve.

The book I would give anyone — a ten-year-old boy, an eighty-year-old woman, a neighbor, a coworker, a loved one — is True Grit by Charles Portis. And the gift I would give anyone is a knife. Kitchen, steak, pocket, utility, multi-tool, etc. You can always use another knife. How about you?

Issue 2 is showing up in mailboxes

🩸🗞️🦠 After writing an apocalypse told entirely through HOA newsletters, I (obviously) had to have this collectible serial from @benjaminpercy.bsky.social & @stephenking.bsky.social I ordered direct from @badhandbooks.bsky.social if you’re interested in reading along with me… 🧵1/?

Everything about this excites me...except the Polar Express CGI animals. youtu.be/UFe6NRgoXCM?...

Get punished.

The first issue of ‘The End Times’ arrived recently and I just sat down to read it. WOW. I’m glad I signed up for this, it was great. I’m totally hooked! Nice work @benjaminpercy.bsky.social! Can’t wait for the next one.

Nerd alert!

Benjamin Percy (@benjaminpercy.bsky.social) returns for AIPT #Comics #Podcast, and we go deep on two huge projects: his experimental #horror “newspaper novel” The End Times (with @stephenking.bsky.social 👀) AND his new #Punisher ongoing out in February. Listen: aiptcomics.com/2025/12/14/a...

I've been writing an episodic audio drama for a big platform, but at the same time, I'm ALSO making a scrappy, zero-budget, 30-minute audio drama with some pals. I'm writing/directing/ acting. No idea what we're going to do with the thing, but that's almost beside the point. It's fucking fun.

This is a Star Wars crime book. Gritty, grounded, noir. I’m thrilled to be writing these stories for a galaxy far, far away.
