"Don't worry about the Discord thing, it's only NSFW servers and channels that will require age verification! :)" I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer. It's not actually about the kids.

My wife asked who I was fighting in Lies of P and I was like "This dude is like if the Pope drank a Grimace Shake."

All of this. I am the first of my target audience. Part of this is, if you aren't creating for someone, it's like creating for everyone, which is creating for no one. And as a writer, that someone should be me since I HAVE to reread my work over and over and over 🫠 that's publishing, bay-bee

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

The Washington Post, which is owned by Jeff Bezos, announced that they're shutting down their books section. We'd say "ironic," but... Keep supporting indie bookstores and public libraries over the mega retailer, aka the institutions that actually care about storytelling 💓

I will never stop making weird queer shit and I will not shrink myself into a box for them. Queer punk band vs sentient neofascist music from @slashichorrorpress.bsky.social

If you think cis is a slur... ...when was the last time somebody yelled cis at you in anger? ...when did somebody say being cis made you a 'degenerate?' ...when was the last time somebody said being cis was a 'mistake?' ...when was the last time somebody assaulted you for being cis? Mmmmm...?

As far as I know, no one has yet found the secret Dragon Ball Easter egg in THE COSMIC COLOR (hint, it's Saiyan-centric). The first person who lets me know, I'll ship them a free copy of any of my books of their choosing!

Just looking at books from the 2020s, I also really loved The Library Thief by @kuchenga.bsky.social. And @ttmaddenwrites.bsky.social's wonderful novellas are always a good read.

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

I'm sorry?!

The first OutWrite Scary Awards from @slashichorrorpress.bsky.social is officially open and I'm so honored to have FOUR pieces in consideration! You have until May 30th to cast your vote! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word? Right now my horror novel BEDFELLOW is on sale for $1.99 on Kindle and Bookshop. I have no idea how long the sale will last. www.amazon.com/Bedfellow-Je... bookshop.org/p/books/bedf...

Thank you to @wolsakandwynn.bsky.social for inviting us SHARP WORDS Had a ton of fun seeing other small presses and spreading the word about our little horror scene! Table full of greats @jkrawczyk.bsky.social @lormaggot.ca @mmcsw13.bsky.social @brittnibrinn.bsky.social @ttmaddenwrites.bsky.social

It's been a slow start, but here's our first article of 2026! Looking for your next read? In the second half of 2025, transfemme authors published more than 75 new titles spanning every genre and medium 📚🏳️‍⚧️ If there's a book that should be on here, please let me know and I'll add it to the list! 🩷

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

Plain and simple my politics is that nobody should be wealthy enough to make their insecurities my problem.

Me for my entire 36 years: Wuthering Heights sounds boring. Dead white people stuff. Sees Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie in period attire for two goddamn frames: Maybe I've been too hasty.

We're all behind enemy lines. I can only hope my weird little words make some people feel less alone. @timberghostpress.bsky.social

My friend has my book and my other friends book. Life ain't so bad right now (also, read FUNERAL SONG ASAFP).

3) The Neon Revelation by @ttmaddenwrites.bsky.social I wish there were illustrations in this one. If only to lean into the Neon-ness of the title XD Its good tho; like... that sorta good weirdness you can only find in the deep corners of your mind. I just... I really, really like it. Go read it~

Good Lord @emmaemurray.bsky.social I'm gonna need some time to recover from this collection. Anyone looking for some super dark but truly heartfelt horror should pick this up.

I have no idea what this current novella is even called yet but I damn sure know who it's for.

I would not be the writer I am without the support of Little Ghost books. They are a hub for the Toronto horror community and beyond. They've been there for everyone with free programming, community events, and supporting indie authors. I sincerely love them, toss the ghosts some coins if you can.

My new little book is about two sisters who hunt down killers and collect body parts while complicating their lives with volatile magics, bizarre visions, and a mysterious mouth in the wall. Think Junji Ito meets Little Women ghoulish.rip/product/fami... www.amazon.com/Familiar-Jer...

Late to the party, but I'll eat my shoe if I see a movie this year I like more than DINNER IN AMERICA.

its so important to believe in your friends. whatever weird cockamamie shit they're dreaming up, they need the support that only YOU can give them. in whatever way you can, whether minor or major, it all really matters

LET'S GO VAMPIRE HUNTERS!

Uh oh I think this novella might actually be a novel.

This was dope! A dream world, serial killers with wild schticks, nightmare monsters coming into our world. Definitely recommend.

I'm sorry WHAT

Sometimes it takes an objective outside eye to tell you you sure write a lot of stories about cannibalism as queer allegory.

Damn, maybe the Academy isn't totally a lost cause?

Women in Horror month is coming up, and here at Timber Ghost we'd love to highlight some amazing women. If you are a woman involved in the horror industry at all and would like to be featured in an interview on our website in March, please send an email to [email protected] and let us know.

Pantsing a book for the first time in awhile and having an absolute blast! Current WIP vibes:

My Catholic aunt couldn't make it past the first sentence.

For if you thought there wasn't enough Klan-blastin in SINNERS.

I want more books by more presses publishing more authors and more diverse representation with less expectations of blockbusters with more presses getting equal shot at promotion by awards and media, sold by more independent bookstores and less conglomerates and a lot less fascism while we're at it

TO BE CLEAR this is not meant to be shade at ANY publisher I work with. Every single one of them has been a joy I'd drop everything to work with again. This is just the reality of doing anything creative.

Just for some personal numbers: I get up at 5, write until 7, drive to work (eating in the car), get home at 5 (again, usually eating in the car), do chores, hopefully write again if I'm not too tired, before passing out around 9. Every writer I know is living some version of this.

we wouldn’t be burnt out at all if we had enough income to work part time and pour more love into our writing instead of struggling to survive. companies and governments have poured billions into shitty AI, which could’ve funded countless writers.

🖤 Happy Birthday, David 🖤 I miss you, and your Light. "And I'll see you And you'll see me And I'll see you in the branches that blow In the breeze I'll see you in the trees I'll see you in the trees Under the sycamore trees..."

Hi we're abstaining because it sucks ass, hope that helps

BEAST OF WAR is one of the best shark movies I have EVER seen. I gasped aloud sitting on my couch multiple times. Highly recommend.

Today's goal; hit 10k in my new project. I've finally figured out my take on the Brothers Grimm.

My mother told me tonight she could only make it about halfway through STUDENT BODIES: "I fully support you, but this was just too much for me."
