I guess this is why I wasn't raptured...damn TikTok followers.

Bodhi Mortimer (2009 - 2024) Sal Gallagher (2019 - 2025) Harlow Audrey (2010 - 2025) 💔🐾💔🐾💔

A painting of Sal from my dear friend, @drspookyer.bsky.social! I couldn't love it more!

Heh. My nose never changes.

Sal is home. I know I speak on behalf of my family when I thank each of you for the messages, comments, and love you offered when we lost our boy. This has been so damn hard on all of us, but your caring and empathy helped. Goodbye for now, SALisbury Steak. Rest easy, sweet boy. 🧡🐾🧡

Baby Sal left us yesterday. 💔

Jeff made me a toasted bagel, with cream cheese and fresh tomato, and scrambled eggs topped with cheddar cheese. Simple, yet satisfying. Then he did the dishes, which is my job. When I asked why, he said, "You're having a bad week. That's one less thing you have to worry about." 🥹

Reading @bridgettnelson.bsky.social's first original novel, KARMA, which she finished today! I've been reading it in sections as it was written, but now I'm proofreading the whole thing. This one will punch you in the stomach, and then in the heart. Starting preparing yourself now!

300 reviews on Red Inside! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Oh my God! Now he’s 𝙨𝙢𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 black licorice!

This book was 100% human-written. No AI program could come up with something as deranged as Chapter 18. www.amazon.com/Your-Body-Wi...

Sunset at the lake. Creepy, but beautiful.

Even though I should be writing, I put together my Top 25 Horror Movies of the 21st Century List!

Jeff's 46th novel, YOUR BODY WILL NEVER BE FOUND, is out today! You don't want to miss this one. Pinky swear.

It was just one year ago today that Jeff stared with cocky defiance into the camera, licking the moldy-looking ice cream known as....black licorice, turning his tongue gray with putridity. I've ultimately made my peace with his gnarly decisions. Have you?

Only two days left to preorder and save 25%! www.amazon.com/Your-Body-Wi...

To celebrate my KARMA cover reveal, I'm offering these limited edition t-shirts in colors crunchberry or black. Sizes S-4XL available. Grab one while you can! 🩷🖤🩶

This September... Jinx's story continues. Cover by the amazing Matt Seff Barnes!

A new RED INSIDE logo! :) Available now at my store! bridgettnelsonhorror.bigcartel.com

Sometimes you nail it. Sometimes Bram Stoker Award-winning author Jeff Strand has feedback...

In the past few days, I've learned Autumn won't be coming to visit next month (she finally decided it was time for college and got accepted), I got six inches chopped off my hair, and I've added a new logo to my store. Probably the most Bridgett logo to date. Behold...

While you're over their preordering signed copies of Jeff's new book, YOUR BODY WILL NEVER BE FOUND, be sure to pick up some of his merch too! www.jeffstrand.bigcartel.com

The day I arrived home from a convention, and Baby Sal refused to go inside until I got out of the car. Then he nearly knocked me over with kisses and hugs. 🙂 I miss this lug so much. Hopefully I'll get to see him in September!

Want to pre-order a signed copy of Jeff Strand's dark, depraved new novel, YOUR BODY WILL NEVER BE FOUND? They're now available at his store! jeffstand.bigcartel.com

YOUR BODY WILL NEVER BE FOUND Jeff Strand July 2025 (I haven't read it yet. I'll get my greedy little hands on it Monday.)

Aside from his adorable cheek dimples, Jeff also has an equally cute chin dimple I can't see because...beard. So sad-making.

There's only one hardcover left... www.bridgettnelsonhorror.bigcartel.com

My friend, Brad Preston, is offering the eBook edition of his novel, BLOOD TRAIL, for free! You should grab a copy, because Brad is awesome, and this is a crazy, action-packed story. Also, he trusted me to edit this book. So, there's that. www.amazon.com/Blood-Trail-...

We've had some visitors today at the cabin! They probably wanted in the air conditioning too. Poor babies.

Jeff and I are back at the lake cabin! On the way in, there was something in the middle of the very rural, gravel road. I was like, "What the hell is THAT?" It was just strolling along, looking kinda derpy. Apparently, we saw a sandhill crane! It was tall! I'm guessing 4 feet, at least.

Writing "Mile-High" was one of the rare times I finished a story, reread it, and *chef's kiss.* I was so honored when Angelique asked me to be a part of this, and I'm so happy to finally work with James. All proceeds will be donated to The Trevor Project! Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈 tinyurl.com/yxwu39ez

I flat-out copied Jeff, but guess what? I have cheap-ass bookplates on my store too! www.bridgettnelsonhorror.bigcartel.com

Yes.

Tornado watch at the lake. The photo doesn’t come close to conveying how dark it is here. Little creepy…

On this day a year ago, I had a book dedicated to me. 💚

Jeff and I discussed what color demon-hand book stand we each wanted for our brag shelf display. Me: I'm getting iridescent purple, but I think I'll get you poop brown. Or maybe Trump orange. Jeff, in a monotone: I'd rather have poop brown. #LifeWithJeff

Last night I put my very cold hand on Jeff's bare back. He cringed away, snuggled deeper under the covers, and in a very serious voice asked, "Why do you have evil in your heart?" #LifeWithJeff

I was thrilled to review the DEADGIRL novelization for @dreadcentral.bsky.social , by a fellow @encyclopub.bsky.social author. Spoiler: I loved it! www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/5331...
