On this week's episode of KEENEVERSATIONS Brian, @chuckwendig.bsky.social, Richard Chizmar, & @somercanon.bsky.social discuss The End of the World As We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King's The Stand, and what comes next. (Recorded live at Midtown Scholar Bookstore). www.patreon.com/posts/end-of...

This was a great chat and it was nice to be able to talk about my hideously bad luck 😆😆😆

On this week’s KEENEVERSATIONS podcast, I’m talking Imposter Syndrome with @somercanon.bsky.social. Look for it later today.

Hi Bluesky! I've had this song stuck in my head for 5 days, so I've decided to spread the earworm infection! youtu.be/U9t-slLl30E?...

I accidentally let myself slip into full HANGRY at a super busy shopping plaza, and then I got stuck behind a city bus, and then my cat puked all over the one carpeted room in my freaking house. Anyway, I ate 11 tacos and now I feel better.

Check oit this cool review! Certainly, I don't need to tell you to check out Strange New Moons because you've already purchased and read it. Right?

I'm so grateful. So, so grateful.

*squeeeeeeeeeeeeal*

TOMORROW!

My face when I see how low gas prices are in my hometown...the hometown I left for a better life 😡😡😡

It's getting to be that time of year again! I will be releasing a new ebook only Halloween short in September, but if you want a collection of previous shorts gathered into a physical book (with the world's cutest cover by Betty Rocksteady ) then click the link! a.co/d/bulueN8

Hi. I'm still in the middle of an out-of-body experience but promise to get myself together soon. As for now, LOOOOOOOK AT IT.

This is the most beautiful book I've ever held in my hands. Ever.

vortexbooksandcomicsonline.bigcartel.com/product/laun... August 19th this book launches! I'll be at the launch party taking place at Vortex Books & Comics with other local contributors! Buy your tickets and see you there!

The walking. SO MUCH WALKING!

Shave my legs to make someone else happy? Um, no. I shave them because I get DRUNK off of the feeling of sliding into crisp, clean bedsheets with shaved, sugar scrubbed, moisturized legs. The opinions of others does not factor into that particular ecstasy.

Join @marysangiovanni.bsky.social , @somercanon.bsky.social , and myself for a brand new episode of GHOST HOSTS MOVIE NIGHT! On this episode, the gang reviews a horror flick with a demon lamp! Tune in to hear our review of AMITTYVILLE 4: THE EVIL ESCAPES! directory.libsyn.com/episode/inde...

"Look, if they're not thin like McDonald's fries, they need to be crinkle cut. I don't make the rules, but I do enforce them!" -me, in a casual dining restaurant, brandishing a plastic spork.

I loved The Map of Lost Places and I love @apexmag.bsky.social ! I'm always happy to sing the praises of the invariably awesome!

The thing about living with cats, is that they will see you minding your own business, enjoying a snack, and think to themselves, "I can enhance my person's experience by sitting really, really close to them and licking my asshole for 20 minutes."

Apologies to the neighborhood dogs for the prolonged, terrified squeal I just unleashed because I was editing with headphones on and my husband thought it would be cute to sneak up and put his big head by my face. We're all deaf now. I'm truly sorry.

Sometimes I read the comments section on my local news groups and check put the personal pages of the angry, uninformed commenters to see if maybe I'm being too quick to dismiss such people. Nope. These people boil Brussles sprouts to death and proudly post pictures of them online. They're monsters.

This in-depth interview that I did with L. Andrew Cooper was such a thoughtful-provoking experience. I really love the characters from my book You're Mine and to be able to really get down into their depths was such a true pleasure. I hope you check it out. landrewcooper.com/canon/?fbcli...

I woke up this morning freaked out from a dream where my house was infested with spiders that growled and wore coke cans as armor. So, just in case you thought my brain was anything other than a dilapidated county fair, that's what's up.

For this week's #authorinterview at L. Andrew Cooper's Horrific Scribblings, crafty author @somercanon.bsky.social discusses her novel YOU'RE MINE and ways the combination of youthful inexperience, failures of empathy, and dark rituals add up to riveting #horror #fiction. landrewcooper.com/canon/

I did an in-depth interview with L. Andrew Cooper about my book YOU'RE MINE. I answered some really thoughtful questions over there and really enjoyed the process of tearing down my thoughts and techniques in writing this book. Check it out! landrewcooper.com/canon/

I know we all want to befriend corvids so they'll bring us shiny gifts, but I really want to befriend a small, beligerent owl so it will perch on my shoulder and mean mug anyone who talks to me.

Horror is a transgressive, punk rock genre that is at times VERY political. And a large component of our audience and community is very, very queer. You don't have to share our politics to enjoy horror, but you sure as shit should share the ideals that everyone has a right to exist if you make it.

Allow me to disgust you: I'm a carb queen in every situation in life except for one. I don't like croutons on my salad. They're fucking impossible to eat with a fork and I'm just trying to hork down my veggies, man. Like a real adult.

#kindle deals are (finally) here! Nothing over $2.99 w/ works by @kozeniewski.bsky.social, @timlebbon.bsky.social, @marysangiovanni.bsky.social, @somercanon.bsky.social, @rebecca-rowland.bsky.social, @davidnickle.bsky.social, @joshmalerman.bsky.social, & more! #books #ad #bookdeals amzn.to/3wZhypJ

Generally, I enjoy being an anonymous citizen, but if I ever make the headlines, it will 100% be because I started a huge brawl at Aldi because some jackwagon decided a slow stroll in the middle of the aisle was a good way to grocery shop in a crowded store.

There's just something about the atmosphere inside of every DMV that instantly makes you sweaty and irritable. I've lived in three states all over this country and I can tell you, it is eerily consistent!

I got my copy!

Look what went live! Strange New Moons is a werewolf anthology featuring some truly incredible tales! I wrote a story for it too titled, Who Keeps Shitting on the Memorial Fire Tower? Yes, seriously. Grab a copy and find out if it's time to start taking me seriously or not! a.co/d/f6Vj6sT

You learn things about yourself while deep cleaning your refrigerator. For instance, it would appear that I have a deep-seated fear of being saddled with less than 4 different kinds of salad dressings. I also had a jar of banana pepper rings that expired 12 years ago.

Did you know that today is @marysangiovanni.bsky.social birthday? Mary is a mega-talented horror author, she's one of the kindest humans walking this planet, she's supportive of other authors and she's a mentor to many. Help her have a great day by getting some of her works. I have recs.

I was in my thirties when I began and finished a 5lb. Hershey Kiss. Age is just a number! I mean, so is blood pressure, but you know...

I see authors sheepishly announcing books, or apologizing for good news. Friends: we’re enduring an onslaught of censorship and bigotry. I am PROUD that you wrote anything. Please yell about what you're doing. Art is a fuel to keeps many of us going.

My wish for all of you is that you find a little friend who waits all day to cuddle on the couch with you in the evening and watch the same 5 shows over and over and over again.

Frankly, I'm upset that your email found me at all.

Lots and lots of cussing.

A big pot of beans for dinner seems fitting for today. Lots of hot air to follow. It just seems fitting.

Alright, writers. Take a cue from Lynch: go be your weird damn selves and leave some fucking art in this world before you're gone.

I bought some fuzzy red loungewear for these cold months. Oldest son says I look like Santa Claus, but because of the shape of the thing, in reality, I look like the stuffed animal version of Paulie Walnuts. Look, I was never cool, so there was no falling to this point. I was always here.

I met a chinchilla named Bingus today. It was exactly what I needed.

It's cold outside. Wanna come over for some pot roast and Trivial Pursuit?

We're all mad here.

Adventures in "I Live in the Suburbs, But Damn There's So Much Wildlife in My Fucking Yard" Episode 9: From the sounds of it, a flock of Canadian geese have engaged in a gang fight with no less that three sasquatch. The foxes and squirrels will be traumatized.

Isn't it so fun when the horseradish fumes(?) get into your sinuses and burn any sense out of them and you're transported to a parallel universe where you see the true form of an elder god? Isn't that a hoot?

This is the best idea ever.
