Good morning, folks! Take care of yourself today. & share a book or two with someone.

Finished. Helluva noir read.

Remembering when I read all the Pynchon I could, except Mason & Dixon, because I was told it was written in an impenetrable dialect. Happy now to find the prose a pure delight—the 1760s filtered through 1960s underground comix, history and seriousness through a cloud of weed-smoke and laughter

It’s beautiful

Now power wash the puzzle 😂

One for your consideration, @neglectedbooks.com

An elegant weapon for a more civilized age

oh, the mysterious knocking on the walls at night? yeah, the guy who was murdered in this house loved knocking. he loved it so much

Everything about this scratches an itch

Is it too much to ask that I come across this book in the wilds?

New arrivals: More books from great authors I got to talk to at @bouchercon - @kellyjford.bsky.social @beaujohnson44.bsky.social and KT Nguyen. Can’t wait to read these!

BTW - Malarkey Books still has my book, Still Alive, on sale for $13 (!!!!), so if you've been on the fence about taking the plunge, now is the time to do it for cheap. It was longlisted for the 2025 Dublin Literary Awards and some folks say it's good. <3 malarkeybooks.com/store/stilla...

This dude could move

It is Friday my dudes, and I am bound by fate and these lean and vicious times to promote my books without a marketing team. So please, check 'em out, which unlike fruit do not go bad on your shelf, and consider sharing this post, reviewing the books or grabbing a copy. Thanks if you do 🙏🍻

I forgot to mark the 6 month anniversary of AMERICAN ANIMISM coming out. Smoke em if you got em.

"Emerging literary translators often come up and tell me how much they want to be like me. They mean well, and more power to them, but I do find myself thinking: Are you sure about that?" I wrote an article about burnout for KLN:

A beautiful morning in the neighborhood. Time to do some roadwork.

My joy this challenging week was listening to Jon DiSavino's reading of my story "Manuel." The first 40 minutes of the podcast is our conversation and his masterful reading of this story starts just after the 40 minute mark. Here's the link: shortstorytoday.com

Dang. This is a werewolf story like no other I’ve ever read. Gemma Files dethrones the patriarchy with her take on a classic story. Order this book through @darkmoonbooks.bsky.social (@ericjguignard.bsky.social). If this collection opens with this banger, then I’m in for a treat.

"I wanted to look at how girls, by and large, start to minimize their wants and needs as we move from the end of childhood into adolescence and adulthood," shares @mfraterrigo.bsky.social, author of THE PERILS OF GIRLHOOD, in an interview with Based in Lafayette, Indiana. bit.ly/4ml0lKF

New Short Story, Long Day! New Amber Sparks Day! It's @ambersparks.bsky.social on SSL day! (w/ some new fave story art from @philmcandrew.bsky.social!)

I love this opening story to Mi Jin Kim’s collection INVITATION. Its psychological depth within such a few pages is impressive. I felt like I was reading a thriller-horror-domestic story. Get a copy of this collection from @univnebpress.bsky.social.

Phenomenal collection of stories, @emilylauracosta.bsky.social! So many of them dusted off memories I had long ceased to think of. I can see this book being one that I’ll intermittently reread over the next few years. Get a copy of this collection from @rejectionlit.bsky.social.

@slimyswampghost.bsky.social provides an excellent read for my spooky season entertainment. This weekend I look forward to getting the second book in this series. Huh, my radio is acting a bit funny…

Waiting for my boy to finish his shift. I brought a friend. @ericjguignard.bsky.social @darkmoonbooks.bsky.social

Order these books, folks. @beaujohnson44.bsky.social is a helluva storyteller.

Rainy day allows me to shirk lawn chores today. So I’ve decided to spend time with these beauties 👇

Watching a classic

By now new followers who came here after reading my story in IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD may know I'm mostly known for my work in the splatter/extreme genre. If you're looking for something more like "Every Dog Has Its Day", the novel of mine you're gonna want to look into is SLOWLY WE ROT.

I'm thrilled to see this article finally see the light of day. Oliver Soden provides the first comprehensive assessment of the work of Gertrude Trevelyan, whose novels we're proud to have reissued ("in handsome volumes") in the Recovered Books series from @bhousepress.bsky.social.

Treated my kids to a classic
