@natcassidy.bsky.social i listened to you on She Wore Black and would humbly add these as suggestions for good werewolf reads. There’s even vampires too!

Shylo: I think those ladies are playing Mahjong. Me: Big clacky bags of tiles. Shylo: They’re ladies, Robb.

WHYYYYYYYYYY is it easier for me to save one page of something as a PDF in my iPhone’s built-in mail app than it is in @adobe.com Acrobat? I know its snobby as hell, but working in a non-Apple environment is so laborious and tedious and baffling and often infuriating.

Thinking I’ll do a rewatch of Justified, but what I’m calling the “Constable Bob Order”, so only the episodes that @pattonoswalt.bsky.social appears in. Maybe I can convince @sgj.bsky.social to podcast about it.

I’m not one to trample on a man’s grave, but I’ll make an exception for Dick Cheney. Anyone got an address yet?

When it rains, it pours. A poster for a window, for a wall, for your city.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

If you haven’t heard of @rapturepublishing.bsky.social ow is the time to fix that. Mitch Hull and @scribeofhades.bsky.social join me to talk premium chapbooks and turpentine cans. www.thearcparty.com/p/mitch-hull...

This interview with Alan from @shortwavebooks.bsky.social is a must-listen. Hear about the origins, ups and downs, and future of Shortwave. it’s a good look at the nuts and bolts of indie publishing too! www.thearcparty.com/p/alan-lastu...

I haven’t watched Ryan Murphy’s thing on Ed Gein so I don’t know firsthand. But I already see the tasteless memes about Gein popping up, and I can only imagine it’s because Murphy did what he does best - sensationalize an awful person at the expense of the victims. <Insert prove me wrong meme>

We had fun! Thanks to everyone for being there.

Hi friends. I caught up with Laird's partner, Jessica M today and received permission to share this. As some of you may know, Laird is in need of a new kidney. The appropriate donor would have O blood type. If you or anyone you know may be a willing match & donor, please reach out to me.

Joshua Hull @joshuathehull.bsky.social joined me recently to talk about hometown horrors, TV, movies, and never escaping those things from our past. It was great! Thanks @clashbooks.bsky.social for the early copy of the book! www.thearcparty.com/p/joshua-hul...

If someone today told me that all these years the band CAKE was just a bunch of animatronics… I’d totally believe it.

Still out here waiting for Netflix to give money to literally any horror person that’s NOT Ryan Murphy.

If you use AI to create your art, your story, your whatever, I immediately know you don’t care about making things — you only care about selling them.

The best birthday present in the world would be if you could pre-order my splatterpunk vampire novel THE SMALL HOURS, unleashing late September from @ghoulish.bsky.social. That's if you felt the need to get me something...just saying. Pre-orders help books, writers, and publishers so much. Thanks!

We’re all just grinding our teeth all the time now, right?

I had grand plans to get a little reading time in tonight. That did not happen.

@robertottone.bsky.social beautiful acceptance. Congratulations on your award!

Can you imagine if it were all three of us on the podcast?

So excited to share my conversation with @wnwagner.bsky.social about GIRL IN THE CREEK! you need to read it ASAP. @claymcleod.bsky.social raved about it, for fucks sake! It comes out next month, so Preorder! Links where links go. Listen to this episode because it’s SO GOOD.

This convo, transcribed from @thearcparty.com , has lived rent free in my head for too long when @emilyhughes.bsky.social shared her experience with Robb & @raforall.bsky.social of @claymcleod.bsky.social ‘a DEBRIDEMENT. All the more reason to be excited for ACQUIRED TASTE when it arrives!

@raforall.bsky.social Becky is one of horror’s greatest gifts, and she brought these astounding authors together to celebrate the genre. This is a crucial piece of reading for horror folks. Give this book the arrival it deserves and pre-order, ask your library to stock it. Buy it on release day!

I had a dream that me and @scribeofhades.bsky.social drove to a bookstore in Wisconsin for an event with @chuckwendig.bsky.social Chuck kept heavily implying we should all go to lunch, but wouldn’t just come out and say “let’s get lunch”. Real circuitous hints. I woke up before anything resolved.

Gotta be the Chicago Sun-Times and Summer Reading Lists.

@chicago.suntimes.com I’m wondering what issue your Summer Reading List is in? Was it from the weekend? I promise I am interested in learning about books, not in clowning your publication mercilessly for as long as I possibly can.

I had a great time recording this panel, and I can’t wait for people to hear/see it! Hoping to put it out as an episode once it’s had its first run at StokerCon.

For DADDY'S BOY, I've recorded podcasts/interviews with some amazing creators inc @thearcparty.com, @ghoulish.bsky.social, @lphernandez.bsky.social, @jasonwhite.bsky.social, @awalrusdarkly.bsky.social. Always a fun time. If YOU want to chat with me about my dark comedy Daddy's Boy, get in touch!

This is Chuck’s best book, and beyond that, it’s destined to be top of lists this year. Buy it now, thank me later.

Vote for meeeeeeeeee!!! Low key everyone on here is awesome and I would love to see any of them win. Congrats to all of these wonderful folks for being nominated!

Another one before I forget to mention it: There's an official T-shirt for The Sundowner's Dance, sporting every Fairview resident's favorite slogan. By the moon's eye! www.toddkeisling.com/merch/p/by-t...
