The rest of my 2026 releases. What looks good?

Me watching Episode 1 of The Vampire Lestat, pausing in the bookstore scenes to look for Delivrées, the French version of The Violence:

Sooooo it looks like I *will* be at SDCC after all, thanks to the magic of friendship! If you have an open spot on a panel, please think of me! Horror, Fantasy, Romance, Cozy, IP, Middle Grade, YA, Comics, Star Wars, D&D, Disney-- I'm your girl!

I'm having a uniquely 2026 problem. I'm sick of fast fashion so I'm hunting on Poshmark, looking for clothes that fit my very narrow intersection of aesthetics, fit, and sensory experience. I'll find something PERFECT... that has no back. Can shirts and dresses have backs, pls? NOT JUST STRINGS.

Does anyone ever get the idea that if they could just find The Perfect Bag, suddenly every problem in life would just... smooth out?

Dear directors and producers: You don't need to doomscroll through Reddit to find a great Horror story. These are the three novels from my backlist that would be the easiest to film. They're all small scale and don't require a ton of CGI. LET'S TALK.

You guys... Yahoo... wants me to pay? For Yahoo? Special new Yahoo? With 'perks'? 🤣🤣🤣 Buddy, that's like my garbage can asking for tips.

Shout out to the worst dental hygienist I've seen since college. That was like being stabbed with needles and having seat belts rubbed between my teeth. And the lecture on how I should wear earphones and relax instead of having dental trauma and anxiety was *chef's kiss*.

Posted this photo on Instagram, and apparently nobody knows I wrote an X-Files comic? It came out before Covid and is called The X-Files Case Files: Florida Man. It has several incredible covers, including this one by @jjlendl.com, which I love so much I had it framed. And now you know!

TFW you need to go for a Figure Out the Book Walk but it's 91 degrees outside with a heat advisory and zero wind. If only the treadmill had the same creative magic.

I need a complicated German word for 'they stopped making my very favorite workout tank tops and mine are falling apart and all the used ones online are similarly ragged and I can't find just the right mix of fit and material ANYWHERE.'

Some inside details on my upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu comic, Danger in the Dark: www.cbr.com/mandalorian-...

Today's blend is Winter Knight. It's basically back tea and roses and tastes almost as good as it smells. I have started House of Idyll by @delilahsdawson.bsky.social. Just finished Songs of the Dead and figured I might as well continue with stories about musicians. #booksky #teasky 📚💙 📚🎧 🍵☕️🫖

So excited to have another book with Titan!! (Note: It's Only Forever will be published by Blackstone Publishing under the Delilah S. Dawson name in Summer 2027 in the US. If you've heard me talk about The Weird Book, this is it!)

The moment I realized I'm about the same age as the mom in The Lost Boys:

✨ ENDS TODAY! LAND OF OZ ed. by @marieoregan.bsky.social & @paulkane.bsky.social is available to preorder from Barnes & Noble with 25% off for members! Use the code PREORDER25 at checkout! #BNPreorder tinyurl.com/yzycrxdh

Ah! This is so cool!!

This might be the worst AI Author Scam I've received. 1. Black highlights so my eyes are strobing. 2. Explains my book to me, badly, in Chat GPT style. 3. Admits she hasn't read the book? Which we all know she hasn't? But why go out of your way to say it? SO WEIRD. 4. Imaginary award.

BRONA: THE FIRST DRUIDS OF SHANNARA by @delilahsdawson.bsky.social www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/611529...

We often talk about how books save us, but sometimes it's smaller scale than you'd think. I am hating perimenopause, especially the presbyopia, which is the loss of near vision. Most of my life is words on a screen or in a book, so not being able to read w/o glasses hurts me. But!

If you liked Widow's Bay, you should read IT WILL ONLY HURT FOR A MOMENT. Why? * isolated setting * There's Something In The Basement * old lady secrets * people are losing their minds * def not the next Martha's Vineyard And the ebook is only $4.99. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/647359...

Horror Stories in 10 words: FedEx placed my Stoker on an ACTIVE YELLOW JACKET NEST. #inspirationiseverywhere #horroriseverywhere

I hate how when you tell Instagram you don't like an ad, there's no option for THIS IS OFFENSIVE AND SEEING IT INFURIATES ME. Applicable to AI crap, fitfluencers selling diet lies, and girlies trying on cheaply made Amazon finds and stating they are INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM ANTHROPOLOGIE

I tried a new company recently for my night guard, thanks to an Insta ad. So far, Cheeky is 🤨. May 25: placed order May 28: impression kit shipped June 2: kit delivered June 3: I mail the kit back June 8: kit arrived at Cheeky Jun 16: I email, and they tell me they haven't scanned my impression yet.

If you've read Books & Bewitchment, which side character would you most like to see fall in love in a zany, romantic novella? * Farrah * Edie * Keelie (although she did star in A Midsummer Night's Scheming in the Paranormal Payback anthology; she just didn't get a love story. Yet.)

The four covers for @madcavestudios.com @papercutzgn.bsky.social's one-shot #StarWars: #TheMandalorian and #Grogu -- Danger in the Dark #1 by @delilahsdawson.bsky.social, Arianna Florean & Mario del Pennino, include (L-R) Ramon Rosanas, Florean, @juniba.bsky.social & @brentschoonover.bsky.social.

influencer: BESTIE, I will no longer GATEKEEP this LAZY GIRL LIFE HACK-- it's going to change your life, it's crazy-- WHAT? WHAAAAT? OH MY GOD, WHAT, ARE YOU SEEING THIS *uses normal product according to directions on package*

Minor superpower I desire: Every time an Insta girlie shows off an outfit with a little *foot kick* to show how *breezy* it is, I magically appear. NOW SIT DOWN, I say. ON A PLASTIC CHAIR. DOES IT TOUCH YOUR BACK? YOUR THIGHS? DOES YOUR BELLY POOCH? HOW DOES IT LOOK WHEN YOU DO ANYTHING BUT *KICK*?

What's great about SOCIAL media; I had totally missed @delilahsdawson.bsky.social 8/25/25 RIDE OR DIE, thinking it was YA? A friend on Goodreads reviewed it, so I took a look. COMPLETELY AWESOME. Pitch perfect for #MGLit. Buying two copies. That's why I'm on these platforms.

I have taken down the post with which you found fault and which you were probably savoring with great superiority Forgive me I like to enjoy things and your opinion was dumb

Possibly unpopular opinion: It's okay to just enjoy things and let others do the same. Yesterday, I made what I thought was a fun little Reel, just filming the biggest and oldest of my Monstera deliciosa plants and then showing my book, Monstera. My biggest and smallest Monstera, ha ha! And then--

If you're looking for your Summer read, I got you.

I just finished reading BRONA - book 2 in the First Druids of Shannara series by @terrybrooks.bsky.social and @delilahsdawson.bsky.social. My spoiler-free #bookreview is here: www.pagesfromthemist.com/2026/06/revi... Thanks to Del Rey Books for reaching out to offer an eARC for review! 💙📚 📚⚔️

On Tuesday, I bought blueberries and strawberries from Lidl. Opened the boxes, and they looked fine. Got home, and they were both moldy within the berry mass. Yesterday, I bought an organic pineapple from Whole Foods. Cut it open today, and it is rotten. I hate this part of The Horrors.

If you're looking for your Summer read, I got you.

A thing I've never wondered before but now can't stop thinking about because of one stupid Instagram Reel: Where would Country music be if Chevy didn't rhyme with levee?

Who writes contemporary books that make you cry in the best way?

Pretty bummed that there is no Rotta the Hutt action figure available to buy in conjunction with The Mandalorian and Grogu (for under $200). GIVE ME THE SWOLE SLUG WITH THE HEART OF GOLD, I BEG YOU.

Bloom – @delilahsdawson.bsky.social 4.5/5⭐ 🆁🅴🆅🅸🅴🆆 Blossoming, budding… blooming horror… this has it all & it packs a punch. Dawson’s prose is gorgeous & lush without being indulgent... This delicious novella is sweet and savage in all the right ways. review www.goodreads.com/review/show/... 💙📚

Y'ALL I AM FREAKING OUT!!!!!

Y'ALL I AM FREAKING OUT!!!!!

COUGH COUGH

If there is a better feeling than having a great hotel gym workout, showering, and sitting in bed drinking kombucha, working on a book, and waiting to have dinner with a friend, then I honestly don't know what it is. Probably involves gluten free cake, though.

I have made it to PHOENIX, and if I don't melt into the concrete, here's where you can find me this weekend at Phoenix Fan Fusion!
