If you’re not terrified of the deep ocean, you should be, especially after watching this. An oil drilling crew awakens ancient creatures and the end gives Lovecraftian vibes. Plus I have a crush on Kristen Stewart so 🤷🏻‍♀️

My story “Mercy” is on the latest episode of The NoSleep Podcast!!! 🎉🥳🖤

Decided it would be fun to round up my writing stats for the year. My 2026 goal is to hit 100 rejections!

Finally wrote my review for @erikmchatton.bsky.social 's Straw World and Other Echoes from the Void. A great weird fiction collection! pierceking.com/2025/11/11/s...

Heck ya! Now I need to also read The Red Tower!

We are almost ready for a full cover reveal of SLUGGER Vol. 1!

Cover reveal! This artist has graced the inner pages of the magazine since the beginning, but the moment we saw this comically unnerving art by @authoriseult.bsky.social we knew it was the perfect way to mark one full year of the mag. Sleep with one eye open and get ready to laugh! #dielaughing

I went on the Dead Languages Podcast and all I got was this creeping sense of unease as the world disintegrates around me! Listen to me chat with PLM and Carson about disorientation in horror, fun ways to collapse reality, and NYC's plague of sexy, sexy rats

I think if a poetry journal sticks an AI slop image onto your poem when they publish it online, they should refund the reading fee you probably had to pay them.

Are you looking for the kind of horror that leaves you staring at the wall? Well I have just the book for you!! 👀

With the Haunting of Hill House being one of my favorite books, I would love to write something like that with Shirley Jackson. Not necessarily a haunted house, but some weird quiet horror! #HorrorWritersChat

Since traveling through time would be an unknown journey, pretty much anything that could go wrong through the actual traveling. Maybe some entity lives along the "road" used for time travel or it could inflict alien biology onto the traveler. #Horrorwriterschat

Probably the 20s and 30s. I just love the weird pulp vibes of the time plus the lack of modern day technology. #Horrorwriterschat

I'm Pierce, from VA. I don't know if I could say any historical writer is my doppelganger, but I LOVE Shirley Jackson and Ray Bradbury!

@erikmchatton.bsky.social's his debut collection is out tomorrow and I think it's going to blow some serious minds. @authorplm.bsky.social is hosting a release party on Friday, join up for a reading, giveaway, and interview! www.eventbrite.com/e/the-echoes...

Look, none of us want to order from the 'Zon. That's why I made the ebook of my weird horror collection PORTRAITS OF DECAY available on my website. It's $9.99 and just about every cent goes to the author. If you're into that sort of thing, grab it here: carsonwinter.com/product/port...

Spooky Season is in the air! Give me all of it!

As of August 15, A SPECTRE IS HAUNTING GREENTREE has been out for one year. And wow, what a year it's been. I've always seen this book as something of a black sheep in my catalog, but I wanted to take some time to reflect on it. /THREAD @tenebrouspress.bsky.social

I succumbed to temptation. (I'm playing Dredge and it's 10,000% my shit.)

I loved participating in this last year! Can't wait to see my new prompts!

Got my prompts today!!! Hazzah!! Get yours and join me in this fun challenge! #WritingCommunity

🎉AHHH it’s been one year since Crushing Snails came out!!!🎉 My debut novel, my book baby that I never gave up on 🖤 Thank you so much to @apocalypseparty.bsky.social for taking a chance on my teenage serial killer, my agent @literaryclara.bsky.social, and all the readers who have picked it up 🖤

Nothing's better than waking up to an acceptance. Waking up to a rejection is pretty high up there, though.

I finally got round to reading The Skull & Laurel #1! Two stand out stories for me were Rain Corbyn's "The Blind Cannot Judge Me, For They Cannot See I'm Good Inside" and "Variations on the Memory Palace" by Avra Margariti. Very happy Tenebrous Press started putting out a short fiction mag.

You know you're about to read the most horrifying shit you've ever laid eyes on when the dedication goes "to my partner, light of my life, and to our friends and community, I would be nothing without you, here's to another amazing year of our beautiful found family". You're about to need prayers

@strangestudies.bsky.social was the first Patreon account I ever got, and along with The #Lovecraft Investigations, they got me through a difficult point in my life. Lindsay and I were thrilled to welcome them, once again, to the strangest #trucking show on radio.

I want to take a moment to celebrate THREE YEARS of this project—in publishing time that's basically a legacy! And all the incredible artists who put their faith in us. I'm ever thinking of the ones we've lost, and thrilled to see the ones who keep growing, and so very grateful to you all.

Request a review copy of my upcoming horror and Weird fiction collection LONESOME AND FESTERING, which features stories about a nightmarish sentient cyst, a supernaturally predatory military recruiter, a pissed-off fry cook ghost, and much, much more: forms.gle/hVgcQkDUYAXK...

CHM really be killin it with the covers. Hyped for this to come in the mail!

Shameless birthday post! I have now reached age 35! How the fuck did that happen??? If you feel like supporting me in any way today, I just had my first collection, PORTRAITS OF DECAY, released a couple days ago. FFO: Evenson, Ligotti, Jackson, Barron, Files.

Happy pride month!! I made a starter pack of amazing queer/LGBTQIA+ speculative fiction authors and I think the best way to kick off the month is to share it around so they can get some recognition for their hard work! Whether you are queer or an ally, support these wonderfully diverse creators!

Recently finished reading this collection! Its a banger!

PORTRAITS OF DECAY is out NOW! I couldn’t be prouder of this book—the short story is such a fundamental part of the horror genre, it feels especially exciting to see my work collected. To kick off PORTRAITS’ birth, I wanted to talk about some of the works that served as its inspiration. THREAD/

Observe this cool book!!! 💙📚

I'm going to die some day (probably) and that sucks. The worst part about dying is that you don't get to keep on doing stuff after that. I like doing stuff. But I guess the best part is you don't have to do stuff you don't want to do. But you don't get to be around to enjoy it. What a scam.

Open for subs! It's June 15th somewhere. The submission form is up! sluggerfiction.com/submit/

ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

I go through a cycle of becoming obsessed with the Arkham Horror card game, putting it down for a while, and falling in love with it again after one scenario. It's like the cozy Skyrim cycle but a tabletop game!
