"Women are not usually interested in science fiction." Women *invented* science fiction.

Guillermo Del Toro: "Horror is made of such base material—so easily rejected or dismissed—that it may be hard to accept my postulate that within the genre lies one of the last refuges of spirituality in our materialistic world."

💯

once again any author claiming ghibli aesthetic without actively engaging with the themes of miyazaki's work should be slapped repeatedly with a 2x4

Have been reading House of the Beast by Michelle Wong and let me tell you, not a page goes by that I'm not in my gf's dms screaming about. Kaim and Alma's toxic doomed siblingisms... THEY COULD HAVE BEEN FRIENDSSSSS, THE NARRATIVE FOILSSSS 😭😭😭

How about a Q&A? Ask me anything about agenting, querying, or publishing and I’ll do my best to answer 💕 #askmeanything #querying #agenting #publishing #qanda

This is an international disaster. They targeted a disabled fishing boat in Colombian territorial waters and killed fishermen.

Cover reveal day! THE SAW MOUTH is out May 12 2026 I love this one, you already know. THANK YOU to Angela for being such an amazing enthusiastic art director and thank you to Cale for letting me illustrate this cover!!

Those that back the fuck away from Omelas.

Bel actually doesn't like eating much, because the scar on his face makes it a hassle. Good treats for him are art supplies. He's fascinated by the printing press, which is a fairly new invention in his world and every time he gets to see one he gets very giddy #LGBTQWriteAThon

TONIGHT AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS, 7 PM! We release the Vermin!

Have not been keeping up with this 😅 but my mc is Belvedere, a shy and sheltered ghost hunter who is secretly a witch! He is 17 and eager to prove he's ready to take on the scary world he's grown up in--even though he's really not. Bel is also nonbinary and latine! #LGBTQWriteAThon

That said, books are still gonna get banned after banned books week, so if you didn’t get around to contacting your legislators last week you can still do it this week, and next, etc. Apparently our reps won’t do their jobs unless we push them, so let’s keep pushing them to protect our rights.

Gonna try to redesign some monsters in my book today. I really wanna push the horror, I want to give silent hill levels of wtf is that 🤔

Was totally crashing out about having to rewrite this one scene, but I managed to make it better AND gayer, so we're winning actually #writersky

Latinx Heritage Month is not over until the 15th! We celebrate from September 15th-October 15th and all year long. Here are some book recommendations from someone who primarily reads horror @silviamg.bsky.social @isabelcanas.bsky.social @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social @cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social

Finally I can share this here in all its glory. Besides conveying the vibe of my book perfectly, I also resonate with this design personally more than I knew I could reasonably expect. I’m obsessed. I’m in love with it. I hope you love it, too. Illustration by Tracy J. Lee, design by Emma Hardy.

I will gladly draw all of the frogs as a symbol for the movement, explicitly to take them back from the fuckers who co opted Pepe for their nazi shit.

Now that pitch events are back, authors, it’s time to talk about the best way to prepare your pitch to sell your book. When in doubt, the Pixar method never fails. Side note: I would love to see this pitch as a manuscript in my queries, just saying.

One of my favorite parts of author visits is the Richland Library "Off Book" recording. Here's the most recent one with @silviamg.bsky.social. We still want to know what @sgj.bsky.social thinks about his cameo in The Bewitching! youtu.be/EtL31zGFZhw?...

We've successfully quarantined the horror books of October 2025 into one easily digestible list. Unless, of course, you choose to unleash them, and embrace the terrors inside: reactormag.com/new-horror-b...

Meowlignant (2021)

The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.

I hate AI with a fiery passion and I resent all these companies attempting to push it down our throats. But you have to admire on some level their ability to create products that literally no one wants. It’s an incredible commitment to failure.
