Happy Holidays from whatever this is

Heard great things about this one by @annieneugebauer.bsky.social from @shortwavebooks.bsky.social and super excited to read! Thanks to @thearcparty.com for the recommendation.

Another of my highlights for this year is The Redemption of Morgan Bright. This was THE year for me to reread this absolute fever dream of a masterpiece by @scribeofhades.bsky.social I love this book so much, it will always be one of my favorites! 1/2

SHITSHOW is on all the best lists y’all! Thanks Eleni!

My most anticipated books of 2026 featuring new releases from @pfracassi.bsky.social @claymcleod.bsky.social @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social @ceejthemoment.bsky.social @alexsegura.bsky.social @scribeofhades.bsky.social It is going to be a great year! readingwithmyeyes.com/2025/12/18/m...

Stocked up on some horror books from my friends @ghoulish.bsky.social. Includes @scribeofhades.bsky.social and @brittnibrinn.bsky.social. good looking books.

Shitshow by Chris Panatier Latrine Technician vs. Dark Carnival? Yep. After his mother is diagnosed with dementia, Sunday McWhorter needs a job with flexible hours and a company vehicle. It just so happens that the local porta-potty company is hiring.

My love of @rapturepublishing.bsky.social goes deep! These chapbooks are like little works of art thanks to @scribeofhades.bsky.social gorgeous artwork. His novel Daytide is the first full length book for Rapture and is out in February. Preorder now! This press really is my very favorite! 1/2

Check out my interview with @scribeofhades.bsky.social about his wonderful new book Daytide! open.substack.com/pub/gabriela...

Just finished rereading this ridiculously perfect book. The prose, the imagery and the importance of women’s autonomy still makes this one of my all time favorites. I cannot recommend this one enough!

New episode!! Chris Panatier is on the pod to talk about his book Shitshow and books set in carnivals/parks/fairs. It's a good time!

Shout out to Chris Panatier and his new novel Shitshow. I cannot wait to climb in and meet Sunday and Ms Poppy! (The book not the portapotty.) 🚽📖

Here’s the books I was able to finish in the month of the plague. These were ALL stellar!! I was remiss in doing reviews for many of them and I apologize for that, but I loved them all VERY much! #books What did you guys read in November?

@emilyhughes.bsky.social, master of the master list of horror books, has launched her 2026 guide! I spy books by @catrionaward.bsky.social, @michaelwehunt.bsky.social, @scribeofhades.bsky.social, @claymcleod.bsky.social, Atilla Veres, @comptonwrites.bsky.social, @manylittlewords.bsky.social & more!

SHITSHOW has received its FIRST one-star review. Apparently, neither the cover, the title, nor the back matter, provide sufficient information to allow one to conclude that the story contains toiletportation. Please support @sobelobooks.bsky.social by ordering a copy for loved ones this season.

Me and @tjoneswriter.bsky.social slingin books at JeffCon!

Outrageously cool bookmail from @rapturepublishing.bsky.social!!! I am still giggling over opening this. Can’t wait to start Daytide by @scribeofhades.bsky.social—out Feb 26, 2026!

“Oh look, let’s make cookies, yay” Surprise motherfucker.

Look at this gorgeous limited edition of WHITE TRASH & RECYCLED NIGHTMARES by @rebecca-rowland.bsky.social from @thunderstormbooks.bsky.social Cover by me.

New on Horror Tree: SHITSHOW by Chris Panatier ( @scribeofhades.bsky.social ) 🚽🎡 Missing people. Carnivals. A porta-potty tech who finds a teen’s face in a tank and ends up battling something way bigger than bad plumbing. Funny, brutal, and surprisingly tender. Review: horrortree.com/epeolatry-bo...

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

EAT ALL YOUR TURKEY BEFORE MIDNIGHT, then listen to me and Matthew talk about GREMLINS!!

Top human @claymcleod.bsky.social read DAYTIDE and he had stuff to say like “what the hell?” “Holy shit” and “what even is this?” But he also gave this blurb, for which I am forever grateful. Get one of 350 copies from @rapturepublishing.bsky.social here: www.rapturepublishing.com/product/dayt...

Two new titles now shipping! Down to the last couple copies of each. thunderstormbooks.com/thunderstorm/

It's Chris Panatier Week on The Scares That Shaped Us! New episode Wednesday!

There’s a dingo in my office.

Early reaction to DAYTIDE has been shocking to me, gaining comparisons to some of my favorite books of all time (LIBRARY AT MOUNT CHAR, what?). It’s sold a shitload already, and the entire run is limited to 350. Publishes 2/26/26. Available here: www.rapturepublishing.com/product/dayt...

I'm reading @scribeofhades.bsky.social's forthcoming novel DAYTIDE from @rapturepublishing.bsky.social. Weird fantasy, resonating on the same wavelength as BETWEEN TWO FIRES and THE LIBRARY AT MOUNT CHAR, but also unlike anything I've read before. Its quirkiness belies just how engrossing it is.

The original art I did for the cover of DAYTIDE. Painted in Procreate. Order from @rapturepublishing.bsky.social at www.rapturepublishing.com/product/dayt...

NEXT WEEK: Chris Panatier (@scribeofhades.bsky.social) joins the show to talk about his new @sobelobooks.bsky.social release SHITSHOW, and we ring in the holiday season with a double dose of GREMLINS movies! Episode drops 11/26 at Noon Central!

“”Daytide,” is a story that requires readers to forget genre, whatever your definition of horror or fantasy or sci-fi is, and baptise yourself in the stinging, turp-soaked, existential delirium that @scribeofhades.bsky.social has so beautifully crafted.” FEB 26TH @rapturepublishing.bsky.social

Books that know balance of reality and the fantastical are a gem. True of @scribeofhades.bsky.social’s Daytide, this is a novel that is equally human and of an entirely other world. Witty, clever, and moving, it’s damn good fantasy at its finest. My review: capesandtights.com/daytide-revi...

With such unique traits to both its world and its characters, Daytide feels like it exists in a category of its own, one that combines so much of what builds incredible stories that stand the test of time. @annarosereads.bsky.social @scribeofhades.bsky.social @rapturepublishing.bsky.social

INOCULATE—album art done by me, a human person.

I will scream about this book (and all of @scribeofhades.bsky.social books forever, the art is stunning and the book itself had me incredibly emotional. A thing of beauty really. Preorder now before they’re gone! www.rapturepublishing.com/product/dayt...

Behold the beauty that is a @rapturepublishing.bsky.social #bookmail day!! I just had to get the art print for this one because @scribeofhades.bsky.social just knocked it out if the park with this one. @rjacksonjoseph.bsky.social has written probably my favorite story in these chapbooks!
