Here’s a little sneak peek of my contribution to the Nightmare Grifters zine in this bundle:

Catch me at StokerCon this year. Feel free to add these events I’m participating in to your schedule on the Sched app. Don’t be afraid to say hey.

RED ANTS by Kimberly Blaeser is a brilliant literary collection and my first acquisition for Counterpoint. It is Kim’s debut prose book, and she skillfully carries her poetry’s lyricism into her Anishinaabe stories. (Ha! I just posted about her daughter’s debut novel. Native women for the win!)

Hey, @shanehawk.com and @tvayyyy.bsky.social in da house…again! Hohóú.

Please consider helping my Diné homie win $25,000. He’s a filmmaker specializing in Urban Native Horror. This site allows anyone (identity verified by a FB account) to cast a daily vote for this award until Thurs, May 14 @ 7pm Pacific. He’s currently in 2nd place. peoplesartist.org/2026/mike-j-...

For a year, I’ve been building this project, the Native Horror Index, with my bear hands basically. It’s my gift to the horror-loving Indigenous community. Over 55 profiles are live, but starting today, you can submit your own profile. Tag your kin, let em know. NativeHorrorIndex.com

Ope, there’s a figure in my house tonight. Wife and cat are asleep on the couch, daughter is asleep in her crib upstairs. Opened the door to the garage, and something upstairs mimicked the sound of our cat jumping down off the armoire and thudding the floor. Then a humanoid shadow slipped around…

MORSEL by @carterkeane.bsky.social is stalking the shelves of your favorite bookstore. Please consider supporting this debut by getting yourself a copy. I’ll let my blurb speak for itself! us.macmillan.com/books/978125... #horror #books

This morning I was part of a review committee for a Mescalero Apache artist studying at IAIA defending her MFA thesis on Indigenous Horror. What a rewarding experience. Can’t wait to see all the opportunities come her way as she creates such stunning pieces of art.

Back in 2021 I was fortunate enough to be invited to write a mini comic for an Indigenous werewolf anthology titled A HOWL. Here’s my contribution beautifully illustrated by Barbara Kenmille @lilbarb.bsky.social. It’s titled “Night Woman.”

🚀 WONDERCON 2026 🚀 I’ll be walking around the con next Sunday (March 29) but will be seated alongside these great folks from noon to 1pm discussing comics that challenge the monoculture’s mendacious, polished history.

Lots of folks missed the contributor list for NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT, PART II: BACK FOR BLOOD we posted last June. Sharing it again here for all who are curious. Our lineup is crazy, and you aren’t ready for this.

We really appreciate all the love today. It’s been overwhelming. Always so great to see the book community so supportive of an Indigenous project. Hohóú and good night.

We are THRILLED to reveal the cover for Back for Blood: Never Whistle at Night Part II!!! An excellent Indigenous horror anthology follow-up to Never Whistle At Night, edited by @shanehawk.com and @tvayyyy.bsky.social. The scares return August 18, 2026 from @ireadvintage.bsky.social!

Hey buddies! Do you like my shirt? I ordered this shirt @shanehawk.com ! #indigenous #horror #h

YouTube, Netflix, HBO, whatever platform does this: stop trying to launch another movie or show before I’m done with the current thing. I like fully experiencing the last scene, and hey, even seeing the credits and such. Stop it. Bad streamer, no!

NATIVE FOLKS: Would some of you mind helping me pass this writing opportunity along to your younger relatives? :) www.tulsaartistfellowship.org/calendar/fir... #Native #Indigenous #NDN #writing #writers #authors #books

One week left to support Legends & Icons! We're on our way to some great stretch goals, including: - Minnesota aid - VTT Content - Library Copy Program Plus, now that we've unlocked our trading cards, you can add any number of packs to your pledge! www.kickstarter.com/projects/coy... #TTRPG

Damn, I’m gonna die way early if I don’t (1) make drastic lifestyle changes, (2) go on BP and GLP-1 meds, or (3) have bariatric surgery where they carve up my stomach n shit. BP meds start today. Gotta change for my wife and daughter. I tried to leave early in my 20s, but I’m determined to stay now

It’s almost my great auntie’s birthday, so I’ll share a little fun fact: She used to babysit Bob Dylan. He grew up in a home off 7th Ave in Hibbing, Minnesota and the home my great grandpa built from scratch was off 6th Ave.

I have finally sat down to read Never Whistle at Night cover to cover, rather than random stories. This book is so great. @shanehawk.com and @tvayyyy.bsky.social did an amazing job. And I heard the intro in @sgj.bsky.social's voice perfectly. Just, go get this book and read it, y'all.

Nothing makes me more proud than seeing friends recommended in French books. Never Whistle at Night being recommended in Generation Body Horror certainly means @shanehawk.com did it right!

(1/2) Some fun author/editor updates recently: -Approved the final cover for one of my Counterpoint projects -CE phase now going live for another project -Submitted to a horror zine on a whim and got accepted the next day -HWA selected NWAN for Summer Scares 2026 #Indigenous #horror

StokerCon 2026 ticket purchased and travel booked! I’ll be on at least one panel and have some ARCs of a certain anthology that won’t be out until late September… Who will I see there?? #horror

Turned in the manuscript for my first acquisition—what a lovely experience! My eyes are joyously fried. RED ANTS, a story collection by Kimberly Blaeser (White Earth Nation), publishes in October with Counterpoint Press. I'm so honored to be a part of this book's journey as its editor.

The entire Never Whistle at Night anthology absolutely rocks, but ‘Behind Colin’s Eyes’ by @shanehawk.com sat me straight down. A killer, close-perspective trip into the woods in a subtly desperate search for dinner gone way wrong. #booksky #horror @booksky.bsky.social

I’d like to thank Dr. Krista Collier-Jarvis for inviting me to virtually visit her Indigenous Horror class today to talk Never Whistle at Night, horror in general, and craft. Read some of a new short story too. And it’s always fun to field lit analysis questions about your own work. Hohóú.

Both my 3rd Great-Grandfathers on my Native side were chiefs. (Left) Black Hawk (where we get the surname ‘Hawk’ from) was Xosh-gah band Hidatsa and second chief at Fort Buford alongside Chief Crow Flies High. (Right) Black Kettle was “peace” chief of the Wutapiu band of the Southern Cheyenne.

Joey Clift’s book is playfully subversive in the best way, and I can’t wait to see the finished copy with Diné artist Julie Fiveash’s amazing illustrations. Congrats to the both of you! I’m honored to have written its foreword :) It’ll hit shelves October 6, 2026.

The cover for “Never Whistle at Night, Part II: Back for Blood” is DOPE AS HELL. All shall be revealed soon. 🩸 For now . . . you can preorder at NativeHorror.com :)

The Bram Stoker Award preliminary ballot for this year just went out, and congratulations to everyone whose work appears on it, be it under their name or their editor!! Also TEENAGE GIRLS CAN BE DEMONS and A GAME IN YELLOW whaaat 🤩😭

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) just pointed out that ICE has a projected 2026 budget that includes $858 million earmarked for bonuses. That means every ICE thug will get an end-of-year bonus around $42,000 while the average American worker might see a $2,500 bonus.

Just joined UpScrolled if you’re on there

How will the soulless politicians spin another civilian murder in Minnesota? He was armed? He was a terrorist? He maimed a government neonazi cog? Whatever it is, it’ll be another idiotic lie as if the non-MAGA folks will believe it. Fuck ICE forever.

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article. Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

Got two pretty substantial book project invitations back to back. I still carry that lingering question of why me? But I’m always grateful for the opportunities that come my way. I’m honestly charmed that other folks see my voice as a worthy complement to their projects. Details when I can share.

I’m a real boy!
