Happy Publication Day for Leticia Urieta’s Offerings to a Tumbled Temple @leticiaasu.bsky.social When I saw this manuscript come in, it was an instant yes. This is a special book and exactly what we are looking for. Leticia Urieta’s Offerings to a Tumbled Temple is simply stunning. bit.ly/4qZuL9a

My book haul from the Horror on the Hudson weekend, including books by @robertottone.bsky.social @raewilde.bsky.social and Sam Rebelein.

If I've learned anything about writing horror, it's that creating a particular tone is key. Example: If you change the tone of I Know What You Did Last Summer, it could turn from a slasher to a nostalgic romcom about reconnecting with your past.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

SNAP benefits are currently being held hostage by the Trump administration and their fate now lies with the Supreme Court. Beneath the legal arguments are real people who simply need food—a former federal worker, a single mother of 4, a disabled man. I spoke to them. Here are their stories:

Had a lot of weird dreams last night, but the best one was that I got a tattoo of every delicious thing we ate on our cross country trip and you know, not the worst idea dream me has ever had 😋

Watching Doctor Sleep for the millionth time because I love it, but since living on the road full time, we can't help talking about how nice the True Knot's RVs are, especially Rose's.

Made a little memorial for Petey and Chancho since Chanchito passed.

It’s truly tragic how many of these US war criminals like Cheney never face justice and die in their peacefully in their homes in their 80s and 90s. I want to be happy he is dead but I am not. The million people he killed didnt get the luxury to die how he did.

Going to the Horror on the Hudson author event on Saturday. Anyone else I know going?

Felt appropriate to spend time in this historic cemetery as the veil is thin.

Behold, my charBooterie board!

Day 24 of Emmanuel Garcia being in federal custody. He’s a 15 year old autistic boy who went missing 4 weeks ago. Houston PD found him, contacted ICE & his Mom is fighting to get him back She’s not allowed to visit him. They’re keeping a disabled kid from his family & the media is largely silent

If you're canceling streaming services, I recommend signing up for @dropout.tv instead. It is the best money I ever spent to watch hilarious, cool human beings have ridiculous fun with their friends. It's like watching ongoing inside jokes and you get to be in on the joke!

ICE is also using the same surveillance technology that was tested on Palestinians against immigrants and protestors who are protecting immigrants in America. From my homeland of Paraguay, to Palestine, to Portland, our liberation is tied together. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“We are opposed to Prop 3 because this is going to overload an already overburdened ... system. Because of overcrowding, the jail system is already the largest warehouse of people with mental illness in the state of Texas. We cannot keep punishing our way out of this mental health crisis.”

What kind of fever dream did I just watch in Haul Out The Halloween on Hallmark? The real horror is how much power this HOA has on this one cul-de-sac. I'm convinced this is a pocket dimension these people are stuck in where people of color don't exist. At least I got it for free through Hoopla.

Really enjoyed the Welcome to Derry premiere. They did not have to go that hard but they did! I think why I really like Muschietti's interpretations of the IT universe is the focus on America's brutality and neglect towards children that continues to be reflected in our culture every day.

Ohhh Andrea Gibson ;(

New story day! "Phantom View" is about a son caretaking for his father, and discovering a blurry person in all their family photos that he has no memory of. The same figure is in all his dad's paintings--and the figure may be in the house with them right now.

15 hours left - PLEASE share. I don’t understand this depravity… tonight, I don’t have words… but I do know, more than anything, that this link is a lifeline for our seven friends & their families and a displacement camp. Invest in hope. In Palestinian life. Nothing less. Last check 0/1000

Just get Dropout instead

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Every time Camille brags about his work and then says he doesn't like Halloween, on the HALLOWEEN BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP, I want to scream!

Imagine, instead of the world's first trillionaire, people could afford to put food on the table and everyone who needed a roof over their heads had one...That'd be some crazy, outlandish shit, wouldn't it? I can't help but think that that trillion dollars could be spent better...

#HorrorWritersChat My name is Leticia and I write weird stories, dark speculative fiction, body horror, stories inspired by folklore and now venturing into a paranormal novel and ecohorror. My ideal writing space is a cottage in the woods with an outdoor seat near a mossy tree and a crow nearby.

One more day to sign up!

It still surprises me and fills me with a sense of gratitude that students are reading and engaging so thoughtfully with my work.

I think about this whenever I read anything about chronic absenteeism.

Some folks skip past the acknowledgements in a book, but I love reading the heartfelt thanks that authors give to their community and loved ones.
