Thank you @publisherswkly.bsky.social for this lovely review! 🥰 8 days ‘til DEMON SONG is out! “Fans of updated gothic horror will find much to enjoy in this gritty take on the sacrifices artists are willing to make for fame and fortune. Yu’s off to a promising start.” Full review on PW’s website!

I have been cursed by a witch Here’s what happened: I ignored an old beggar woman and she turned out to be a mighty enchantress Her spell forces me to always talk like I’m on LinkedIn Here are my main takeaways about being hexed:

Holy shit, they've finally done it, they've made a Star Wars movie that looks like made for TV slop. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pa1...

You couldn't make Father Ted today because everyone would just say, "You know someone already made a sitcom about priests called Father Ted back in the 90s, right?"

you can't even be a failed clone of Emperor Palpatine, raise a fascist regime to take over the galaxy and accidentally put a petulant manchild in charge of it all these days. because of snoke.

ARCs now in for Amy Jane Stewart's HEX HOUSE. Scottish folklore inspired horror. Imagine David Cronenberg's BOY PARTS and you'll be just scratching the surface of this absolute masterpiece.

Not enough episodes is exactly the same issue Dr Who has had in the last couple of years. Episodic TV *needs* filler episodes, ones with low/undercooked stakes, to give you more time with the characters. If every episode is a fight against a god, or a musical episode, you can never settle in.

I AM GOING TO BE VERY BUSYYYYY!! I'm sort of going on book tour?!! And joining @ericlarocca.bsky.social, @timlebbon.bsky.social and @cgolden.bsky.social on theirs, plus a few cons! Come find me! I'd post links but I haven't collected them all yet. Google is your friend.

Just look at them.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

Thank you everyone for making this an amazing release day! I say this at length in the acknowledgements, but short fiction is the foundation of my art. I started out with short stories, and I love them dearly. I'm thrilled this new collection has found so many eager horror fans, and I'm grateful 💜

We're less than two months away from BLACK FLAME by Gretchen Felker-Martin hitting shelves! From the bestselling author of Manhunt and Cuckoo comes a horror novella about cult cinema, the occult and queer desires. 🔥 Out in the UK November 4th! https://tinyurl.com/2j9pmtax

#TeenageGirlsCanBeDemons by @haileypiperfights.bsky.social is a teenage girl rage trifecta - all at once a lesson in, an homage to, and permission for expressing righteous rage. #BookSky #HorrorSky TY #NetGalley & @titanbooks.bsky.social for the ARC for my honest review:

How to make the mundane horrific? @claymcleod.bsky.social found a way to bring scariness to objects like a fireplace and a hammer while also showing we're all only one blink away of going bat shit crazy. Great short story collection. Published by @titanbooks.bsky.social

Sep 14th 1997 - Reiko enlists her ex-husband, college professor Ryūji Takayama, to investigate the videotape. He took her photo, which like a photo of Tomoko, had her face distorted. 📽️📅 Ring (1998)

MURRRRRRRRRRR

Sooo much talent, you are correct! 🥰

if you would like to support Gretchen Felker-Martin, who has just lost work for her speech, I would strongly encourage you to check out her patreon, where you can directly support her in creating the work she wants to create: www.patreon.com/scumbelievable

The UK edition of Gretchen Felker-Martin's BLACK FLAME is up on NetGalley www.netgalley.co.uk/catalog/book... An absolutely phenomenal book.

New Review - one of the best horror anthologies that I’ve ever read for you today. Go and run to get hold of Roots of My Fears edited by Gemma Amor out now - just brilliant! www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/9/...

I have the best publisher. Thank you @titanbooks.bsky.social for this and thank you to the whole team, @dancarpenter.bsky.social, @baharkutluk.bsky.social, @fallintofiction.bsky.social, Katherine, Caitlin and Hannah. I'm oh so lucky! 🧛🏻‍♂️🦇🌕🩸

This is a great episode for anyone who wants to know what it's like working on a book with me.

The 6 year old has taken to calling us "citizen" and now I feel like I'm being asked for snacks by Robocop.

I will not share the screenshot from the latest book by the Author We Do Not Speak Of, but from a writing perspective, it's dreadful. Is that really how those books are written?

TEENAGE GIRLS CAN BE DEMONS, and also may see some interesting sights 😈 out September 16 from Titan! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/teenage-gi...

As soon as any kind of art got labelled 'content', this was always going to be the end point. Companies assuming that people just want to consume, not engage, with art. It's why Netflix, Disney et al are all full of absolute slop every single week...

One more cheeky share as I'm absolutely knackered so recycled posts will have to do. New book out yesterday! Thanks to all for sharing 🖤🥰📚

I hope this ishmael finds you whale

Happy book birthday to @manylittlewords.bsky.social !

Honored to be in this anthology with so many stellar writers!

Dan helped bring this book to life and the market and I'll forever be grateful 🖤

How lucky are we that we can write, tell the stories we want to tell, and find someone, anyone, out there in this world who wants to sit around the campfire and listen: bit.ly/47zH6JU
