These books are still available for purchase for some reason, and yes I appreciate every sale, but please know that every book I’ve sold this last month I will not be paid for. ‘No further payments will be issued’ I’m told. I choose to laugh instead of scream, but still, fuck me.

King: so what did we miss? Poe: well apparently the first amendment doesn't exist anymore King: what?! but that's my favorite amendment! Poe: wait i'm getting word that maybe it does King: phew! that was a close one King: glad that got settled

Here's a book I loved! I think you'll love it too! Threads of Ash: South by SH Cooper Perfect mix of fantasy & horror ✔️ Unexpected companions ✔️ Expansive mythology ✔️ Gripping action ✔️ This novella is a phenomenal throwback to the 80s sword & sworcery world's told with a steady & pristine hand!

Reminder from your resident high school lubrarian: if you plan to do a Banned Books Week display and programming, prioritize living marginalized authors. Use this time to help those who need it the most.

Thanks to everyone who pre-ordered, bought, shared, talked about and reviewed #Pyres on its first weekend. It's been a great start! Have you stared into the flames yet? #HorrorBooks #BookSky #IndieAuthor 📚😱 books2read.com/pyresnovel

Literally reading Junji Ito's Remina right now...

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

Now we're into October and we're all looking for spooky reads, I've got a couple of things due for release later in the month which I'm gonna be promoting. (Sorry in advance!)

Get your ghost on! THIS HOUSE ISN'T HAUNTED BUT WE ARE After the death of their daughter, Simon & Priya renovate an old cottage. A child’s ghostly figure appears, doors lock themselves, a mysterious stain grows from the loft. Is it their daughter haunting them or something else?

"Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do..." 🫠...😵‍💫...💀

The pedo cunt thinks he's back on The Apprentice...

New book out accompanied by that little orange sticker. I know it’s not the most important thing, but it’s nice to know that after nearly 30 books, people still buy my work.

I’m going to be very blunt and say: do not send Atthis Arts any money or manuscripts. The four-alarm red-flag phrase here is “borrow … to pay due royalties.” Let me explain for those who don’t already know roughly how money works in small presses.

Novella subbed. Fingers crossed.

#Booksky, Halloween season is here & my short story collection is packed with 17 creepy tales. It's also a great introduction to my writing. Check it out... Kindle/KU: mybook.to/a86T Paperback: mybook.to/wjUJQzr Bookshop.org: shorturl.at/L8gGu Goodreads: shorturl.at/IY8Qw 💀😈👻

THREE MORE DAYS

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

“Fascism is a temper tantrum disguised as an idealogy.” ❤️

Coming soon!

Tim Meadows just showed up in the second episode of Peacemaker series 2, and he's immediately my favourite thing 🤣🤣

Here’s where you’ll find the Dorin Toth stories so far. An occult investigator travels Eastern Europe in the 1680s with his greyhound, Vinegar Tom, and Great Pyrenees, Basina.

Just one week until SPREAD ME hits shelves everywhere! You can make the anticipation even sweeter by preordering your copy today from Bookshop.org 👀

RIP, sir. Metal legend. Will be spinning some At the Gates and The Great Deceiver tomorrow. Also, fuck cancer.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

IT'S LAUNCH DAY FOR IMMORTELLE!🥂 My thanks to the incredible @sobelobooks.bsky.social for making this a reality.🙏 Discover the background to this classic Gothic horror via link in pic or link in bio.👇

one thing we're seeing is an especially vile form of chattering class solidarity. Kirk used D or progressive interlocutors as a marketing strategy, at least sometimes. 1

“Midsummer Eve, and by your leave the young will dance anew, upon the path of green and gold and bring good luck to you. The raven host will spread their wings and they will play their part, upon the path of green and gold to revive a weary heart…” mybook.to/Harrowfield Folk horror. Coming 1st Oct.

Most of you have already received your copies of @thomasha.bsky.social's UNCERTAIN SONS, but official pub day is 2 weeks today on the 16th. Still enough time to get a copy. undertowpublications.com/shop/uncerta...

Shout out to @undertow.bsky.social , @badhandbooks.bsky.social , @grimscribepress.bsky.social , @wordhorde.bsky.social and @dimshores.bsky.social . I have not read a piece from any of these small print presses that wasn't amazing. The work they do is extraordinary. Go out and support them today!

Honoured to be mentioned among these fine presses.

It's like a reunion of a particularly sexy boy band from the 90s. Cracking day/evening in Birmingham with some top writer lads. I may even have had some ciders. Lovely.

Went to a cat cafe in Birmingham train station today. Never been to one before. Lovely experience. Didn't take nearly enough pics.

Discworld QOTD, from Lords and Ladies

FUTILITY by @nuzo.bsky.social is coming October 14th and available to pre-order now! 👁️ This is a monstrous, gleeful, bitingly funny tale of murder, body-swapping and bloody vengeance from the ‘Queen of African Horror’.🩸🥣 https://tinyurl.com/2re64uh6

Maybe it's time I got round to finishing his books.

New Review - hugely enjoyed this conclusion to a great fantasy duology. Great character arcs and very interesting storylines intelligently explored await in the strongly recomended Tideborn by Eliza Chan is out now! www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/8/...

Huge thanks to @theandydavidson.bsky.social for these kind words about my novel, THE OCTOBER FILM HAUNT. Davidson's one of the greatest working in and around the Southern Gothic mode of horror: The Hollow Kind feels like Faulkner writing an early Stephen King novel. 40 days until we’re film haunted!

My new novel is out TOMORROW! Please help me share the word if you like folk horror crime thriller romance chase novels with a heart and the meanest antagonist you'll meet this year.

A whole week off work. Time to get back to the writing, methinks. But first, off to get new tyres on my car. Yes, my life is just *that* exciting 😀

Welp, time to blowup my notifs! Thesis: Worldcon COULD be good, but we may have to drag it there kicking and screaming.

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident" grigorylukin.com/2025/08/21/w... #Worldcon

white people in 2025.

Press Release: New book from Peadar Ó Guilín coming your way next year:

I see my name. It is in lights.

PLEASE REPOST! WRITERS! Uncanny Magazine will be open to Short Story Submissions from August 25 to September 8! Uncanny Magazine will be open to Poetry Submissions from August 9 to August 26. WE WANT TO SEE YOUR SHINY WORDS! buff.ly/9AyStcb

Discworld QOTD, from Going Postal

Saying this again: there is a scammer out there targeting newbie authors, claiming I'm one of their clients. They use different names, and I'm already pursuing legal action. But I have never worked with a PR company, editing service, or book packager, so anybody saying so is lying, period full stop.

IT'S SO GOOD If you don't preorder it you will be SAD
