So very.

My favorite book, in my favorite room. And now they match!! 🩷🖤 If you haven’t seen it yet, the new @sagapressbooks.bsky.social PAPERBACK (bish approved 😉) edition of @sgj.bsky.social’s I Was a Teenage Slasher just came out last month. More: www.instagram.com/p/DUlKdqngDl...

Congratulations to @sgj.bsky.social 2026 Audie Awards Finalist The Buffalo Hunter Hunter

was a blast:

Today is the cover reveal for INCARNATE by @almakatsu.bsky.social. No one escapes real life. Coming Set 22. I am so excited for this one! Also terrified to read it. But also excited.

Current status-- actively demanding that one of my (only) 200 words in my up coming review of (the brilliant) DEAD BUT DREAMING OF ELECTRIC SHEEP by @paultremblay.bsky.social has to be the word "abide." If you know you know. And soon you will all know.

Can't wait for the new @jordanharper.bsky.social novel to drop. Just a couple months off, yeah.

Looking forward to chatting with Justin about his excellent first novel on Feb 18th. brooklinebooksmith.com/event/2026-0...

My favorite format. Such a bummer.

It can be told! I’ve read the screenplay; it’s wild and I love it. I can’t wait to see Franz and Fiala put it all on screen. deadline.com/2026/02/davi...

Hell yeah 🤘 @paultremblay.bsky.social, so excited for you and for A Head Full of Ghosts.

Spyin' with my eye: Video Night by @adamcesare.bsky.social getting a new release, and with a foreword by @sgj.bsky.social. How very.

The book was just added to Goodreads too Which makes it the first of my books where the title is too long to fit in the Author Dashboard 🫠 I didn't even know that was possible www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

Great day to preorder CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD 4: LIGHTS! CAMERA! FRENDO. Signed options available: linktr.ee/adamcesare

See some of y’all in San Jose before too long, here:

❤️😭😭❤️ Yesyesyes.

An alternate title for this collection is EEEEEVVVVVVIIILLLLLLLL. @badhandbooks.bsky.social

SNEAK PEEK: The fun thing about a short story collection is you get to pay homage to all the other short story authors who have influenced and delighted you. Hence, this chonker of a dedication page (which still managed to leave names out on accident). Have you preordered your copy yet? 👀🗝️🔑

Yes, please.

Fantastic new cover. It outta be in pictures!

Check it out!! Pre-order a SIGNED copy of CARRY ME TO MY GRAVE from Copper Dog Books and receive this exclusive in-world post card, also signed!

I can't take credit for the pronunciations, but, when @simonaudio.bsky.social had questions, I have friends who know how to say what, and were/are willing to help. but it was fun having Arthur and Good Stab and Etsy get through their words/pronunciations slightly differently.

"A far-out premise, and Keaton doesn't shy away from it: this is a wacky, entertaining, occasionally terrifying story. The writing is light and breezy on the surface but with dark undercurrents that keep the reader just a little bit off-kilter. If that sounds like great fun, you're right." -Booklist

Some good news: I'm thrilled that I'll appear with Stephen Graham Jones at the Bay Area Book Festival and Locus Awards in May! Horror fans, come celebrate with us! locusmag.com/2026/01/tana...

gonna be a blast in the bay, the bay of blood (was trying to get that to phrase-rhyme with "sea of love," but . . . I don't know).

Huge congrats to @tananarivedue.bsky.social & @sgj.bsky.social for being named Guests of Honor at the 2026 @locusmag.bsky.social Awards! Can one city withstand this much simultaneous AWESOME?? Berkeley, CA will find out the last weekend in May💥 locusmag.com/2026/01/tana...

yep. just threw something new up there a couple minutes ago:

Posting a little late, but loved DaCosta’s 28 Years Later! It doesn't just give us zombies; it gives us the banality of evil. Jack O’Connell channels the ghost of Jimmy Savile in a role that is also a terrifying reflection for our own time. My review: hollywoodprogressive.com/literature/d...

I peep a new @brianevenson.bsky.social story on the horizon.

Scoping out Stephen Graham Jones's website today and came across this piece. It's one of my favorite things he's written. I hope you enjoy. Why I Write by @sgj.bsky.social #booksky pikespeakwriters.blogspot.com/2012/10/why-...

Can't wait to feast my eyes on this beauty.

@sgj.bsky.social on tour. Check these dates, yo.

Exclusive Interview: Librarian and editor BECKY SPRATFORD celebrates community and chaos in “WHY I LOVE HORROR” https://ow.ly/uPzJ50Y4y6V

“…a signature example of Paul Tremblay’s wacky influences and deadly serious applications.” Me and my book resemble these remarks.

READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME starring Samara Weaving will release one week earlier on March 20, 2026. The sequel is rated R for "strong bloody violence, gore, pervasive language, and brief drug use.”

Thanks to @ruemorguemag.bsky.social and Lindy Ryan for the great interview about WHY I LOVE HORROR. Lindy asked some of the best questions I have gotten yet. @laneheymont.bsky.social @sagapressbooks.bsky.social rue-morgue.com/exclusive-in...

New flash story:

My new novella BODIES OF WORK arrived and it may be one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever gotten my hands on. Too bad the story inside is probably one of the weirdest, darkest things I’ve ever written… but that’s kinda the point, yeah? On shelves April 7th! Thank you @titanbooks.bsky.social
