SOME! BOOK! NEWS! 🚨

Teaching tarot in Toronto tonight at Curiosa on Harbord.

One last reminder for my talk tonight, April 22, at 6 pm at 110 W 31st Garden City Idaho. I will have copies of Beulah, my collections, and select anthologies. And refreshments!

All good things... We All Fall Before the Harvest goes out of print on May 3rd. I don't know when, or if it will ever go back into print, so if you've been wanting to read this one, now is the time to do so. Cheers! #cmforest #booksky #novella #cosmichorror #booktok #booktube #horrorsky

I absolutely loved Tron Legacy. Movie and soundtrack! This looks like it will be as good or better on both fronts. Only time will tell, but the trailer has me pretty damned excited! #tronaries #tron #NIN #nineinchnails youtu.be/9KVG_X_7Naw?...

Misplaced by @brittnibrinn.bsky.social is fantastic, y'all! Weird fiction at its best! I've really enjoyed everything I've read from @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social They know good stories! #littleghosts #brittnibrinn #booksky #weirdfiction

We can finally let the cat out of the bag, Steve! I certainly never had a sequel in mind, but when the man himself @stephenking.bsky.social calls you up asking to co-write part 2, you don't say no! We All Fall Before the Harvest 2! Coming soon. #stephenking #cmforest @timberghostpress.bsky.social

Watched Argylle tonight. While I enjoyed it, I can see why it tanked at the box office. Besides the misdirection of the marketing, the movie was downright ludicrous in the last act. Still, probably would have done much better as a streaming exclusive. I give it a 3/5. Have you seen it? #movienight

I talked a bit about metafiction, creative inspiration, Emily Dickinson, and my latest story, "Dread Robin", featured in pulp MAG's spring issue. Check it out. www.pulpmag.ca/artist-inter...

Today marks 150 days until 8114 spreads its curse out into the world. 150 days until The Blackened Lady wraps her burnt hands around you. 150 days to get YOUR preorders in.

Tonight's movie. This South Korean horror anthology has been on my watch list for a while!

This weekend is our Third Birthday! We are celebrating with Spooky Marketplace, a rotation of 3 vendors each day selling handmade goods, a book sale, baked goods, and some Little Ghosts merch! We hand printed bandanas & made some reading ghost sticker packs to celebrate. See you this weekend! 👻🖤📚

ICYMI this lovely interview came out last week. Lynn Hutchinson Lee talks about the inspiration for her debut novella ORIGINS OF DESIRE IN ORCHID FENS, the book's relationship to Hutchinson Lee's work as a visual artist, her love of wetlands and more!

MOUTH was unleashed one year ago today (for real this time 😅) Crazy to think our weird, sweet, horrific teeth angel has been out in the world that long. I’m so grateful to every single person who has taken the time to read, review, and share the book. This book has been life changing—

My current read. I was fortunate enough to be a guest at an event with @christinahenry.bsky.social last year (Books and Brews in Chicago) and got this one signed. Fun read so far! #booksky #nowreading

I'm excited to announce that I'll be appearing at CKExpo (April 26th - 27th) and Shock Stock (May 9th - 11th) this year! If you are interested in learning more about either event, check out their websites! CKExpo: www.ckexpo.ca Shock Stock: shock-stock.com #shockstock #ckexpo #cmforest #booksky

Get ready for a new Bond movie every year. And a TV show. And spin-offs. And remakes and reboots. It's Disney Star Wars all over again. Let the oversaturation begin! Sigh. #jamesbond #Amazon #eon www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

Now reading... Glass Houses by @madelineashby.bsky.social I enjoyed the heck out of Company Town a few years back, so I'm very much excited for this one! #booksky #nowreading #madelineashby #torbooks @torbooks.bsky.social

25 years ago today, I was hit and run over by a dump truck. I was in the hospital for a couple weeks and spent 6 months learning to walk again. At the time, it was the biggest moment of my life, and now, it's just a footnote. Crazy. Anyway, I'm glad to be here and hope everyone has a great day!

I thought it would be fun to check out what the Amazon AI had to say about Infested. I don't know how to buy an AI a beer, but I'm gonna have to try, lol. #cmforest #Infested #Amazon #booksky #horrornovel #scarystories #bugs #zombies #eerieriverpublishing #ai #beer

Today seems like a great day for a cover reveal. My new novella, RUNTS is coming soon, and should be out in time for STC. Once again, Nick Justus did an amazing job on the artwork. If you love creature features, with plenty of dark humor and over the top gore, this one is for

Braving the cold to do some writing with pal @benvandongen.bsky.social this grey morning. We're both working on short stories. My main focus this year is novel #2, but if I can crack out a few shorts as well, I'll take it as a win. #cmforest #WritingCommunity @timhortonsofficial.bsky.social

It's funny, I absolutely adore Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive, but whenever I think of David Lynch, his role as Gus, the bartender on The Cleveland Show, always pops foremost in my mind. Even in my thoughts, he was subverting my expectations. The man was a legend. R.I.P. #davidlynch

My current read is this cool flip book! Side A is Roots Run Deep by @jkrawczyk.bsky.social and side B is The Dillo by @fuckmaxbooth.bsky.social It's a co-publication between @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social and @ghoulish.bsky.social Anywho, it looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun. Will report back.

I watched The Front Room last night! Once I understood the movie to be more a dark comedy than a straight horror film, I really dug it. Unfortunately, Sullivan did not agree and fell asleep. #a24 #thefrontroom #movienight

We’re serving up a special treat at Mrs. Lovett’s: a Goodreads giveaway of The Butcher’s Daughter for 40 lucky US customers! www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

Updated author shelf! It's still wild to me that I've been published in all these. Five years ago, seeing this picture would have blown my mind! #cmforest #authorshelfie #booksky #bookshelf

My copy of The Earth Bleeds at Night has arrived! This book is loaded with talent! And, bonus, if you get a physical edition, you can hold it up to your face like this, lol. Available on Amazon, or can be ordered through most bookstores. #booksky #cmforest #eerieriverpublishing #newrelease

Now reading. I would've liked the original cover, but I got this for like a buck, so I'm not complaining. You're probably thinking, I see that book at used bookstores all the time! Yes, but that version is likely the rewrite. Koontz rewrote the book in the 90s to make it less pervy, lol #booksky

I'm heartbroken to hear of the passing of my friend, Andrew Pyper. He was a huge inspiration to my writing and a great human being. If you haven't read Andrew's work, do so now and see how brilliant a storyteller he was.

The Earth Bleeds at Night is here! So much talent packed into this book! I'm proud to be part of it with my story 'It Is the Night!'. #newrelease #newbook #booksky #booksatgram #booktok #booktube #cmforest #eerieriverpublishing #theearthbleedsatnight

Tonight's movie is Frankie Freako! It took a while for my copy to arrive (due to the Canada Post strike), but now that it's here, the party can begin! Also, fun little extra, my copy came with a Christmas card! #movienight #frankiefreako #ravenbanner #bitbot #hangar18media #stevekostanski

2024 was a busy year! I hit up numerous events. Books and Brews, dRead Con, and Frightmare in the Falls, just to name a few. I had some stories published. Meet a bunch of cool folks. Hung out with some friends. And had a new book published! Thanks to everyone for sticking with me, you rock! Cheers!

Ah, it's that time again. It's time to make a year-end list. My ten favorite horror movies of 2024! In no particular order... I Saw the TV Glow Exhuma Oddity Cuckoo Immaculate The First Omen Abigail Longlegs A Quiet Place Day One Daddy's Head #HorrorMovies #bestof2024

Fighting the urge to buy this happy butt hole plush from Tim Hortons. It's a losing battle.

Giving your kids gift cards on Christmas means shopping on Boxing Day. A hell that I would not wish upon my greatest foe. #boxingday

Ill be at the Makers Market this Saturday in Denver at the Fiction Beer Company! I'll be selling books and my handmade tote and crossbody bags! Great for last minute gifts or for a creative way to wrap a gift without paper! Come say hi!

Looks like this will be my last read of the year. But hey, finishing 2024 with a new @lairdbarron.bsky.social collection is the very definition of going out with style! #nowreading #booksky @badhandbooks.bsky.social
