I had the fortuitous opportunity last night to see @daviddemchuk.com reading from his novel Red X at Brooklyn’s The Twisted Spine. A great turnout, too. He called me ‘a saint among men’ in a public space and I’m pretty sure the rule applied in these situations is ‘no takesies-backsies.’

The day is here! CANNIBAL MUKBANG is on @shudder.com! This one is for all of the hopeless (hungry) romantics out there. Thank you for being such a wonderful partner @brndnstrssng.bsky.social❣️Watch now and support microbudget indie cinema!

WE ARE FIVE DAYS AWAY from what could be the GREATEST LITERARY SOCIAL EVENT TO TAKE PLACE on Saturday June 20th, 2026 in Brooklyn at 7:00 PM At least it will surely be the only one that has @astoehr.bsky.social, Gwen Aube, and @blipstress.bsky.social all reading in the same lovely summer evening 😈

🎶 Tonight, tonight, won't be like any night 🎵🎶

Very pleased to be on this list--thank you Michael! 🖤

And, if I may bang the drum once again, there is a golden opportunity right now for the government to take concrete action against the worst offender and that is to take all official government (and Labour Party) accounts off X, which would encourage other parties and the media to leave too.

The pigeons of Bryant Park are on a whole other level

NYC friends! The launch event for the amazing new edition of RED X (a favourite book of mine and part of my intro to Toronto) by our friend @daviddemchuk.com is ᴛᴏᴍᴏʀʀᴏᴡ—check it out!

Good afternoon also from the Marron Family Circulating Collection of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library/NYPL

NYT sits me on some concrete & asks me questions about ANGEL DOWN.

Good afternoon from the staging area of the Puerto Rican Day Parade

The temptation to extend my NY trip to Friday

We had both the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car and the Batmobile (no Batboat that I can recall)

Things are going on in New York right that people may not understand for thousands of years

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

Good night from Fifth Avenue

so glad to see enthusiastic unbridled homoeroticism make its way back to the big screen, thank you and bless you Jackass

Good evening from the Bookmarks rooftop bar

Hello from the air-conditioned Murray Hill Diner 🤗

New edition of @daviddemchuk.com's RED X with a foreword by @scumbelievable.bsky.social and a cover blurb by @ericlarocca.com. Happy Pride Horror Fam

Welcome to the Library Hotel 📚

Red X is a fucking fantastic book.

New York squad! Show up for m pal David's book launch! RED X is phenomenal

THIS IS GONNA BE SOOOO GOOOOOD

Monday! Join me and @sentencebender.bsky.social at The Twisted Spine in Brooklyn for a very special book launch ❌ Tickets include either a copy of RED X or a $15 Twisted Spine gift card. tinyurl.com/red-x-ny-launch.

I can tell you what: I’m not going to read your book, and my bookstore isn’t going to carry it, either.

You guys think Candyman and Bloody Mary ever, like, hooked up

How is this show so good

Someone somewhere within earshot is practicing the recorder

The doctor finds himself on a luxurious train headed to a luxe castle retreat in Scotland—oh no, he’s been cast in The Traitors! It’s all fun and games until an actual murder spoils the show, and all fingers point to him. Claudia Winkleman guest stars.

Unfortunately the world of my book visits me every day, whether or not I invite it 👻

Slop That Train

reminder that this is currently a single income household, and there is a huge backlog of fiction and art on my patreon (including two full novels that'll likely never see the light of day otherwise)

A new edition of Trans Central Station by the late, beloved trans legend Rachel Pollack, with an introduction by @sarahschulman.bsky.social. www.silverpress.org/products/tra...

This is horrific and unconscionable

WHALEFALL TEASER 🐳🦑💥 youtu.be/67ho3OxCmmM?...

This survey is super-biased but please do take the time to speak out against this stupid expansion. A point I repeatedly made: Toronto Pearson Airport just announced a $3B expansion plan. That negates the need to expand Billy Bishop as well: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The scaries continue as the week unfolds. Theatre fans may want to check out my thoughts on the Erivo/Williams Dracula, along with my love for Buffet Infinity and Widow’s Bay.

I have a short book involving demons, substituted identity and general corporate insanity coming out with PM Press next year. If you're interested, I'd encourage you to preorder. I love how it turned out. Plus, there's a picture of me walking the picket line for the Writer's Guild on the cover...

Take the 10 minutes to complete this and send a clear message to Carney @mark-carney.bsky.social that you don’t want the Billy Bishop airport expansion. tc.canada.ca/en/corporate...

The very day I arrive, guess where my hotel is 😑

@wolfrunner726.bsky.social 👇

this is of course an illustration for Where Fire Reigns which you can preorder now!

If you're in the mood for Gothic, folk horror short story that's also a great Pride read, I recommend David Demchuk's The Black Fox: www.thedarkmagazine.com/the-black-fox/ I just read and really enjoyed this one. Great imagery and in conversation a little bit with Mr. Fox

I coerced my father to take me to this when I was 13. A formative experience.

New zine! PHYSICAL MEDIA BOOKLET ESSAY! It's here! As you know, all movies are being re-released on 4K UHD fancy box sets w/booklets and essays by film writers. I've written a few, and while waiting to be asked to do more thought "Why wait?" 1/ www.seanabley.com/store

As the fog comes creeping over the ridge and through The Narrows and up into the town...it's time for some Sunday Scaries. buttondown.com/daviddemchuk...
