Channel surfing, I caught the last few minutes of Fear Thy Neighbor. In this episode two guys, Jim and John, took their ongoing dispute to the next level by shooting one another in public. Interviewed later, an elderly witness said solemnly, “The neighborhood wasn’t the same after that.”

World is a horror show yet again, but I wanted to highlight this Defenders story I wrote for the new Marvel: Black, White, & Blood and Guts #4. In particular, I added a shout out to @cgolden.bsky.social & @briankeene.bsky.social whose Defenders Dialogue podcast got me back into the team.

I'm just catching up on this documentary from 2022 about Mike Mignola and Hellboy. Anyone else seen it? It's fantastic, especially pausing too look at @mikemignola.bsky.social's bookshelves. Makes me want to run to my shelves and grab Hellboy vol. 1!

No, you're not imagining things. It really is that bad.

"Nobody does very bad women like Miskowski, and this deeply disturbing story further establishes her as a master at exploring the psychological terrain of the kind of women who aren’t supposed to exist.” – Lynda E. Rucker, Shirley Jackson Award winner and author of You’ll Know When You Get There

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! It’s been so fulfilling to see my upcoming book WRETCH pop up on so many “Most Anticipated of 2026” lists! I really think you’re going to love this unpleasant little novel. It’s raw, filthy, and filled with gay suffering. 2026 is the year of WRETCH!!! 🖤🪲🕯️

Southern gothic and eerie as hell, the cover art for Daughters of Catastrophe was created by the legendary Harry O. Morris. Available to order directly from Grimscribe Press. (link in the comments below)

FYI you can download and read a sample of most books listed for sale at Amazon. If the sample doesn't appeal, there's no need to buy the book. I believe everyone should read what they want, and samples help. You can order the book via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or your favorite independent bookstore.

Happy new year! Buy a book today! Does it have to be MY book? Yes. Yes, it does. 😀

You like to buy books via your favorite independent bookstores, right? Great! Buy a book. Happy new year!

ICYMI - A few years ago Michael David Wilson and Bob Pastorella were kind enough to interview me for This Is Horror. We had fun, and we talked a lot! Michael has posted the audio interview in its entirety, so you can listen to the whole thing or check out a bit of it. As you wish. ❤️

Working on a film treatment of I WISH I WAS LIKE YOU. Seattle in the early 1990s. A vengeful ghost tearing through a city in transition--from grunge artist haven to global tech hub. I'm finding new and surprising ways to portray the central conflict. I think 2026 is going to be Greta's year.

Thanks SO MUCH to Sadie Hartmann for including my novel IF YOU KNEW ME on her list, Mother Horror's Top Books of 2025. My books rely on readers and reviewers to help spread the word, and I'm eternally grateful to the people who have shared IF YOU KNEW ME.

Delighted to learn that 4 Weird Horror stories are on the HWA Bram Stoker Award® Reading List. Reminder that Weird Horror is free to read and that if you are still reccing year-end stories our 2025 issues, #'s 10 & 11 can be read here: www.weirdhorrormagazine.com

"There are haunted places in the world, all existing in reality and every bit as tangible and accessible as the house next door. Sometimes it IS the house next door. In his brilliant debut collection Ian Rogers explores the border-places between our world and the dark reaches of the supernatural."

The coaching at LinkedIn and Kindle, and now FB, makes me laugh every time. "You're on a roll!" "Your post is getting a lot of attention!" I can't remember the exact Kindle message but it's something like, "Wow! Way to READ! Keep looking at those words!"

In 2013, my band Djinn And Miskatonic released our debut album, Forever In The Realm. It's surreal to realise an album I helped make is over a decade old. It's not perfect, but it holds up. Listen to it, get your doom on, support an independent band: djinnandmiskatonic.bandcamp.com/album/foreve...

"Alma Katsu is the reigning queen of historical horror and one of the best contemporary writers of spy/thriller novels. With Fiend, her latest, Katsu shows she is also one of the best when it comes to delivering a contemporary horror novel." - Gabino Iglesias, Locus Magazine

Today on This Is Horror, Eric LaRocca returns to the show. @ericlarocca.bsky.social talks about his influences for the Burnt Sparrow trilogy, short stories, repeated choruses, and much more. www.thisishorror.co.uk/tih-644-eric...

Thanks very much to Mike Thorn, and happy holidays!

You like fictional serial killers, smart women, mixed media, and innovative narratives. You read Lisa Jewell, Megan Abbott, and Alice Feeney for chills and fun. You like to figure things out for yourself. You love a twisty psychological story that isn't write-by-numbers. Hey--me, too!

Books I’ve read (and loved) in 2025. An ongoing post and in no particular order … @johnpalisano.bsky.social

Watched BLUE STEEL for the first time in at least ten years. It's even better than I remembered. Kathryn Bigelow directed. Jamie Lee Curtis delivers a hell of a performance. #jamieleecurtis #bluesteel (not zoolander!) #KathrynBigelow

Today, French lawmakers unanimously approved a bill exonerating women punished for abortion before it was legalized in 1975. This "is an act of justice toward those thousands of lives shattered by unjust laws," said Aurore Bergé, minister-delegate for gender equality.

Joining @amandamarcotte.bsky.social on the latest #StandingRoomOnly episode to giggle at the whole War on Christmas 2025 lunacy was a blast. And she let me plug Seattle's War on Christmas which, unlike Fox's, is joyful & worth your time! www.shoesandpants.com/scott-shoema...

Thanks for liking and re-posting my book promotion! I see you, and I appreciate it. ❤️

Not kidding about the audiobook with narrators Mia Hutchinson-Shaw and Coleen Marlo. Producers made a great decision dividing the book into the voices of Parker Dillon (third person limited) and Ann Mason (direct address via letters, emails, and audio recordings). Up close and unnerving.

Happy reading this weekend! Remember, you can order a print copy of IF YOU KNEW ME at your favorite bookstore, or from any book outlet online. Available in the beautiful trade paperback edition seen in these photos, also a modestly priced ebook, and an audiobook that's receiving rave reviews. ❤️

Treat yourself or a friend to a novel you can get lost in. Follow the dangerous game between wannabe journalist Parker and her over-eager subject Ann, a legend in the making--in her own mind, that is. "If You Knew Me is one insanely compelling read!” —Lisa Morton, six-time Bram Stoker Award winner

Can't wait for you to meet her www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/800630...

“Is she talking about her books again?”

This is so cool! Sadie Hartmann (Mother Horror) includes IF YOU KNEW ME on her list, Favorite 50 of 2025! Thanks to Sadie and to every reader who's followed the wicked exploits of Ann Mason. ❤️

Paperbacks of SINNERS RIDE make great gifts for the reader on your Christmas list1 Real readers call it "Terrific weird western!" and say they're "ready for more!" mybook.to/LyuCY

Since I see Kindle is trending, seems like a good time to post that my scifi novel from this year is just $1.99. Follow a quirky batch of scientists through a trippy story in a town where the boundaries of reality are stretched: www.amazon.com/Azure-Cove-A...

If you haven’t read Fawver, you’re missing out on one of our finest living weird horror writers. His work is like if Ken Burns wrote about nightmarish disturbances that keep vanishing from your memory.

Read and re-post.
