Doing an Incredibles re-watch and I genuinely believe this movie has the best voice acting of any of the Pixar films, particularly Holly Hunter and Craig T. Nelson's performances. There are scenes in this movie (jet vs missiles especially) that WOULD NOT WORK if the voice acting was not convincing.

sometimes I wonder if I'm toiling in obscurity and then I remember that there's somebody who told me she read my debut novel 5 times, going on 6. life is good.

Reading for a Best-of anthology, I start to see certain themes that wormed their way into the collective subconscious over the course of a year. I'm 10% thru submissions for the next BRAVE NEW WEIRD & I can tell that y'all were a *HORNY* bunch of mofo's in 2025, in some delightfully Weird ways🖤☠️

Hey guys, as due diligence, let me suggest those of you who are able A) read Little Horn and B) review Little Horn, please. Also, I would love to come on your podcast if you have one and talk about Little Horn!

BRIDES IN THE DARK comes in a little over 3 months, but you might be able to read it right now on NetGalley! We're looking for a few dedicated ARC readers who love dark fantasy, romance, monster girls, and fairy tales! @quillandcrow.com #bridesinthedark #netgalley Link in my bio!

man I miss Major Biden, the White House Dog That Would Fucking Bite People For No Reason.

There's already a few NetGalley reviews on Goodreads, which means people are really PLOWING through this novella. Which is good, because it's designed to be read quickly, and I'm glad they're enjoying the story. But there's something in me that thinks Noooo, savor it! Slow down, you'll choke!

Exceptionally excited about this volume. At long last, my novelette "The Caspers After Dark" will be available to read in print for the first time ever! This is my favorite horror-thing I've ever written and @fraidycatpress.bsky.social is the perfect home for it.

Snagged these stunning collections this weekend! If you love horror, dark fantasy and all those literary spaces between, don’t miss Issues with Authority by @nadiabulkin.bsky.social Tell Me Yours, I’ll Tell You Mine by @kristinaten.bsky.social, and Bury Me Cold by @jacobstevenmohr.bsky.social !

"...and another thing..." Meet the leads of my upcoming fantasy novella BRIDES IN THE DARK, coming in 2026 from the mighty-mighty @quillandcrowpublishinghouse.com Stella's really giving it to Patrick here. What do you think she's so wound up about? Artist is @heytherenrds on X.

The 6th story in THE JOINING is an earthy invitation. Love, or something else, is buried six feet deep. To find out which, dig 'til your hands bleed. Thanks to Donn Hess for this story! THE JOINING: SCENES OF WEDDING TERROR comes out 12.12.25 from @crystallake.bsky.social!

sometimes the proliferation of ad culture genuinely scares me. video ads on kiosks at gas stations. unskippable 30 second ads. 2-hour ads on YouTube. I just had an experience where hitting skip on an ad just brought me to a second ad. where does it end?

The 5th story in THE JOINING is a theatrical terror. Don't upstage this bride, or it's curtains for you! (the pun department apologizes, offending parties have been shot) Thanks to @jacklothian.bsky.social for providing this tale. THE JOINING comes out 12.12.25 from @crystallake.bsky.social!

This one is pretty wild. If you’re a fan of gothic fiction, fin de siècle aesthetics, and materialist critiques disguised as horror, this one’s for you

HEY YOU GUYS!!!!! 📚🩸

Heigh ho! The 4th story in THE JOINING is told from a marrow-sucking marital bed. What's sweetest in life lies nearest the bone, after all... Thanks to @jduckwriter.bsky.social for submitting this excellent (and oddly romantic!) story! THE JOINING comes out 12.12.25 from @crystallake.bsky.social!

The first story in THE JOINING is a sticky scenario. Come for the romance, stay for the zoology lesson! Or is it entomology? Never mind that, just suck the juices out with us! Thanks to the great @tlbodine.bsky.social for submitting this story for our anthology. 🐝 #joininghorror #weddinghorror

The 3rd story in THE JOINING is a false-faced frolic. What will you wear to the wedding feast... and whose skin is it made from? Thanks heaps to @jeswrites.bsky.social for submitting this story to our anthology. THE JOINING: SCENES OF WEDDING TERROR comes out 12.12.25 from @crystallake.bsky.social

asking for author blurbs for a new project is simultaneously one of the most exciting and nerve wracking parts of this business. I have the awful urge to end each email with, you hate me don't you? you can tell me...

The second story in THE JOINING is a hungry guest. She'll whet her appetite on wedding cake for now, but she's looking for more than that pleasant full feeling. Get what I mean? Thanks to @jawmccarthy.bsky.social for providing this story. THE JOINING comes out in 2 months! @crystallake.bsky.social

I can't *promise* this is the horniest story you've ever read about fruit, bugs, and religious trauma, but it's surely gotta be in the top 10.

Y'all don't wanna miss this one.

Oh boy! It’s heeeeere!

It's cover reveal time! From @crystallake.bsky.social, THE JOINING comes out 12.12.25, including twisted tales from... @jduckwriter.bsky.social @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social @horrorsong.blog @jacklothian.bsky.social @jawmccarthy.bsky.social @gordonbwhite.bsky.social ...and a host of others!

Delighted to be a part of the festivities with my story “Severed Blessings,” based on an old northern Thailand wedding tradition and what happens when fear, shame and societal prejudices drive a woman to break her vow. As usual (in my stories), someone is very very hungry.

It’s here! I’m so proud of the story I have in this one. If you’re in the Triangle, you can hear me read an excerpt from my story “Cut-Skin, Outside-In” TOMORROW at Moondog Meadery in Durham. I’ll be reading with a bunch of other HWA authors at 7pm.

I’ve got a weird 2nd person vampire (???) story in this one! Check out that wonderful cover :)
