Woke up to see this on DAYTIDE from @talkscaredpod.bsky.social. DAYTIDE is currently available on audio, and there is a small pile of illustrated, limited editions still available from @rapturepublishing.bsky.social. www.rapturepublishing.com/product/dayt...

2027 novel coming along….

Chris Panatier @scribeofhades.bsky.social knocked it the fuck out the ballpark with this one right here! Fuckin Angels. Fuckin crazy priest. Fuckin turpentine. Fuckin awesome!

An excerpt from a new review for DAYTIDE. Check this out. There are dwindling copies still available at @rapturepublishing.bsky.social and it's available on audio as well.

"Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest." - Denis Diderot

The Alanis Morissette exchange is hard not to laugh at until you're teary-eyed Chris Panatier @scribeofhades.bsky.social is such a great storyteller!

THIS! BOOK!!!!

So @ryinwonderland.bsky.social hit me last night with this review for WORRY BOX! If you know Ryan, you know her taste is *impeccable* so this is your hint to run to @gibsonsbookstore.bsky.social and preorder it right here: gibsonsbookstore.com/search?q=wor...

SORRY I HAD TO

Thanks @reactorsff.bsky.social for sharing the cover (and and excerpt) for my YA cosmic survival horror, UNNAMED BONES. It's out July 21, 2026.

Now listening: Daytide by Chris Panatier @scribeofhades.bsky.social This should keep me busy for a few days. Starts out strong with words of wisdom. Don't drink turpentine!

Holy moly! This has got to be an early contender for novel-of-the-year. Seriously. It’s world-building, multi-layered (literally) in subtext and context, full of grey and complex characters (Astra the angel is my favorite by far), and so much more... 1/4

Want prints of the full angel from the cover of DAYTIDE?

This review sort of sums up how people generally react to reading DAYTIDE. It's a bit over 75% sold out. You can get yours from @rapturepublishing.bsky.social right here: www.rapturepublishing.com/product/dayt...

In my new interview with author Chris Panatier about his new #fantasy #horror / #DarkFantasy novel "Daytide," he calls it a "Black Metal Wizard Of Oz," says it involves a psychological pandemic, and also admits, "It goes gonzo from there." paulsemel.com/exclusive-in... 📖🫲🦠

Punk Goes Horror 2, an anthology edited by @spookysterling.bsky.social is now live and orderable wherever! Really great lineup! I've got a story about a fly in love based on DISMANTLE ME by The Distillers.

This book really scared the hell out of me. @scribeofhades.bsky.social made me feel like I was walking on a tightrope never knowing if I was going to fall or make it to the other side. Panatier is a true talent and Worry Box is not to be missed!! Full review at: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Take it from me, you don’t want to miss this book! I just finished this last week and I can’t wait to put this book in people’s hands. Pre order this creepy haunted house tale with all of Chris’ signature wit!

My next listen will be Daytide by Chris Panatier @scribeofhades.bsky.social I love long stories, so this one is perfectly fine with 17 hours (and 19 minutes) of audio. Fuck AI and the WHORES it rode in on!

loved loved this book!

It’s #FridayReads on Friday the 13th! Let’s share some books and boost all signals. Repost this and let us know what to repost for you. Sharing a nightmare full of murder, revenge, ghosts, and creatures from beyond the reef… www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316... bookshop.org/p/books/hous...

Don't let the advent of Friday the 13th distract you from the fact that AI users are pathetic loser dork-wads.

It’s @scribeofhades.bsky.social birthday! What a great time to go pre-order Worry Box 🎉 bookshop.org/p/books/worr...

One of the shitty things about trying to write fiction that takes place in the contemporary United States, is that to make it believable it's got to reflect reality. That reality is increasingly a fascistic society. And that's the real horror. Oh, look at my ghost story! Who cares!

Hey want to be a writer? Then write. It’s not that hard to type or scrawl. Want to kneecap yourself? Use an AI to “assist” you. Discover how quickly you begin to rely on it, how fast you experience creative rot, how you cease to learn the craft, and how fast that original spark of passion dies.

Interview with @scribeofhades.bsky.social and @rapturepublishing.bsky.social is LIVE! Chris and Mitch join me to talk about Daytide and their collaborative efforts. It's a fun time where Mitch and Chris don't make ANY jokes AT ALL and are TOTALLY SERIOUS the whole way through. Links:

Want to hear more about the bromantacy happening at @rapturepublishing.bsky.social and how our love brought DAYTIDE into being? Listen on Friday! Thanks Anna!

Current Media: March 2026 Audiobook: DAYTIDE by Chris Panatier @scribeofhades.bsky.social (2025) Narrated by Eric Fox @ericfoxvox.bsky.social again, I’m looking forward to this one. Panatier bibliography, here I come!

Current Media: March 2026 Audiobook: SHITSHOW by Chris Panatier @scribeofhades.bsky.social (2025) Would you believe me if I told you a book titled SHITSHOW has some real emotional context and a heart of gold at its center? It’s funny as a carnival in hell too, darkly comedic.

DAYTIDE is now available as a deluxe limited edition hardcover AND audio wherever you get your audiobooks! Copies remain for the illustrated hardcover here: www.rapturepublishing.com/product/dayt...

I can finally let the cat out if the bag! I’ve joined the team at GNoH 💜 My official review of DAYTIDE by @scribeofhades.bsky.social is now live! @rapturepublishing.bsky.social

Read this review by @unstablebooks.bsky.social. Just do it. Her words capture what DAYTIDE is really about in a far clearer way than I ever could.

Batman and Robin. SpongeBob and Patrick. Shaggy and Scooby. Chris Panatier and Rapture Publishing.

I try not to make promises or set expectations about what a reader will get with my stories, but I can promise this: you’ve never read anything like DAYTIDE. “Black metal Wizard of Oz” is the *starting point* for having any conception of what it’s about. @rapturepublishing.bsky.social
