33. @nadiabulkin.bsky.social, Issues With Authority, 2025. Thank you @ghoulish.bsky.social for this Weird & timely 3 novella collection. So good! Rating: a fab tiara & a box of flea market off-air VHS guaranteed to be cool, but you have to watch them all. Probably not cursed. Best of luck to you!

hire me to write your theatre company a stageplay and it will win awards. this will continue to be true until it isn't.

From Bottle Alley's FB: "13 years in the making 🤩 "Last night, Bottle Alley won its first official B. Iden Payne awards in the history of the company! We are so proud of Kaylynn, Emily, Andrew, John, and the entire team of We Need to Do Something for their hard work and well deserved recognition."

Eeeeeeeee!

Started this last night and there is quite the opener to this book which will IMMEDIATELY let you know if you're tall enough for this ride.

My latest newsletter is live! @nadiabulkin.bsky.social stops by to give us some story recs! I’ve got a little cape cod serial killer story in this one and a few quick thoughts on the health of short story publishing :) coreys-stories.beehiiv.com/p/corey-s-st...

This was one of the first indie horror books I read, and you can *feel* the joy that was stitched into it. It's an absolute blast and still a favorite.

I think this is probably my funnest & grossest novel. I wrote it while we were on set filming a movie & I was probably the happiest I'd ever been in my life & I think it shows in the text. a joyous celebration of body horror. you should read it sometime. maybe even review it? tell a friend? 🥹
