This was made for me and I WILL be snapping it up

Haven't been on in a minute. What horror books should I check out next year? Bonus for queer

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

in 10 years we're gonna get so many 'yes i gleefully addmitted to calling the gestapo on my neighbors but here's why you should forgive me" essays that the new yorker's submission inbox with crumple under their weight

Seeking wife to send my emails and make me martinis. Applications open.

Porn and art with sexual themes deserve to exist on their own merit, not because censoring them has knock-on effects for non-sexual content. Please stop expressing outrage by implying that censorship would be okay if it *just* affected sex workers and artists engaging with sexual themes.

if there’s anything i know at this point in my life it’s that it is a gift to have trans people in your life, and it is a privilege many many cis people do not fucking deserve

It's interesting that white people in both parties get away with saying deeply disgusting racist things, and we have crickets... yet Mamdani didn't actually say anything anti-semetic, and here we are.

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

Been off sm so much (except for insta) that I forgot to say I signed copies of my book for the first time at Stoker this year. Honored to be asked, honored anyone picked up the book at all, and hope to do it many more times.

basically everything american christians accuse muslims of is projection. it has nothing to do with any of the muslim people that exist or any religious teachings or principles they have at all. it is completely fucked that muslim people have to deal with it

Jesus, fuck I’ve literally been waiting for an elected official to fearlessly say this shit my entire goddamn life

Can someone give her my number

“you come up with a mean nickname to call this guy on TV?” “sure did boss, real fuckin sexy just like you asked”

We need to get this woman out

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.

From a key Mamdani adviser ❤️

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

Andrew Cuomo gets publicly humiliated. Bill Clinton learns his endorsement is worth less than dogshit. What a great time to be a hater. A golden age.

Wake up Democratic Party old guard establishment. This isn’t about New York City. This is the way the wind is blowing. Step aside for young people who this country will need over the next several decades long after you are gone. Enough with your egos and the big money interests.

I'm in touch with a source in Cuomo's camp. They're all screaming and turning back into rats. Not looking good so far

My review of Of Beasts by @mjaneworma.bsky.social. A truly stunning queer horror that will stay with me for a long time. Coming Feb 2026 from @clashbooks.bsky.social

In this political moment, our city needs someone with the energy to stand up to Donald Trump and an inspirational vision of the most our city can be. That’s why I’m endorsing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for mayor.

The Twisted Spine has been a great pop-up bookstore for a bit now, and they're looking to finally settle into their own brick-&-mortar digs! Another horror-centric indie bookstore centered around community? Uh, yes please. Help em out if you can! www.kickstarter.com/projects/twi...

i felt like narrating a little essay clowning on linkedin ai hype idiots while filming myself doing something they're mad about: making art like a person

Who will be at Stoker and wants to say hi?

And since I don't have a mom, tomorrow I may spend the day writing in a coffee shop, and maybe I'll stop somewhere and let myself get a book.

Was discussing King w/ book friends and remembered the time my mom bought me a bunch of his paperbacks at the fleamarket for me when I was 12 just because I wanted them. It was my first exposure to king; I read in the car otw home. It's one of my favorite memories as a perfect day with my mom.

Living in NYC (a dream), being in communities I love, spending evenings writing with friends, and now having a book come out that ends up side by side with Eric LaRocca... is not a life I ever thought would be mine. And yet.

Still working on my short stories despite anxieties, but I don't know how much "boy meets boy, likes him too much and has to kill him over it" people actually will want to read

The trouble with writing in the morning is I descend into madness for an hour, and then I have to clock into work and talk to my employees like I'm not still deep in the visions. My ADHD brain was not designed for this.

Writers I admire are in this!!! Get it!

a friendly reminder never to buy your books from Amazon, where they are used as a loss leader so that you'll buy a flatscreen TV and your toilet paper instead-- and then use that money to send Katy Perry to space. Books aren't just products. They're culture. Buy them from those who understand that.

This is the best pitch I've heard

This new short story might be entering splatterpunk territory which is delightful if I can pull it off

Trying so hard to write the most evil thing I can, plz pray for me to be even more deranged

YO WHAT?

So excited to have gotten my review copy of Caro Macon Fleischer’s forthcoming horror novel, out from @clashbooks.bsky.social in October!

The thing I come back to again and again w/ "pointless sex scene" is what is the point of any art? What is the point of any scene, any fragment? It calls into question the idea of art and even life as a whole- I don't understand. There is no point in anything but to exist

Hey so I figured out the short story collection is also about how love is evil and will always betray you. So that's fun!

Queer horror writer that writes about toxic relationships and the taboo, with some existential hints. Spans supernatural to magical realism to straight up serial killers. Currently hammering away at my short story collection about the horror of liking/wanting someone. #HorrorWritersChat

My queer Appalachian cosmic horror novel CHILDREN OF SOLITUDE comes out 4/25! Early reviews have been exceptionally kind & I'm really excited to share it with the world! It's about a mean queen whose mother is (finally) dead, her haunted house, and the porn star down the street. #HorrorWritersChat
