Last night’s viewing: Fascinating and heartbreaking.

Truth!

So proud of my niece, she’s in the latest episode of The Chair Company! ❤️❤️❤️🪑🪑🪑 I don’t know the name of her character, but she shows up at the very end. Don’t spoil it for me, I haven’t watched it yet!

Lol, can't believe this wasn't a scripted bit: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHXA...

My (short) short story, The Ballad of Miss Mouse, has been accepted for publication in the forthcoming issue (first one in over a year!) of Whiskey Tit Journal. It's kind of a cross between Looney Tunes and a murder ballad. @whiskeytit.com

Sunday’s viewing: a Quentin Dupieux double feature.

Saturday’s viewing:

Some days it’s hard not to embody everything I hate about social media.

Real ones know:

My NEW most anticipated film of the year: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zv6...

Now seated: Bugonia

Tonight’s viewing: Weird Tubi find. 80s compilation film starring a young Steve Buscemi and that guy who looks like Buster Poindexter but isn’t. Film House Fever!

Only one “one ____ per child” trick or treating gag per user, please.

Yep. This is my publisher. 🐍🚽

Tonight’s viewing:

Cyber farting.

So Men’s Health is getting into the book influencer game, eh?

The cover for my next novel, DEAD BUT DREAMING OF ELECTRIC SHEEP, lives! Book due out on 6/30/26. people.com/paul-trembla...

Me, crunching the numbers:

While we're on the subject of me, I just got the latest sales report, & after crunching the numbers it looks like Letters to the Purple Satin Killer has sold over 2750 copies! That's including ebooks, which we all know are inferior, but mostly paperbacks! Thank you, everyone! @clashbooks.bsky.social

Def picking this up. Children of the new Flesh was great.

yehaw, pardners.

Happy #FridayReads, hermano! "Olivas takes his most audacious step yet: an absurdist tragicomedy that transplants Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot into the terrain of U.S. immigration policy...." —Gerald A. Padilla, Latino Book Review #playwriting #immigration

A Halloween read: "A marvelously dark and true novel." — @JosephONeillx "Deliciously diabolical and at times deranged" —Arlo Z Graves "A transgressive tale of supernatural pulp phantasmagoria...as shocking as it is thought-provoking." —Patrick Barb books2read.com/u/m27rzr

Thanks, Gabino! Imagine a house where no one has died, yet has been haunted from the day it was constructed. Sit with different inhabitants of the Backlund House over the course of a century as they struggle to understand the nature of a haunting in a world of cyclical trauma. #FridayReads

Thanks, Gabino! OUT NEXT TUES: Proud as hell to share a ToC with this talented lineup of authors. Some of your colleagues at @ucrlowresmfa.bsky.social in this lineup too! Order your copy today: bit.ly/4drzg5P #bams2025

Thanks, Gabino! I’m currently busy with short stories but dig this: William, a wildlife biologist battling inner demons, faces terrifying flashbacks and a violent entity after a DMT session goes wrong, forcing him into a life-or-death confrontation in Colorado’s wilderness. a.co/d/1FN2itN

Thanks @gabino.bsky.social — if you haven't already, friends, consider picking up a copy of WHAT THE DEAD CAN DO at your local Barnes & Noble this weekend. I'd really like to get my next book published, and based on how fucked up it is so far, you won't be sorry that you help me get it published! 😱

#FridayReads once again. Thanks, Gabino!

Jagoda Szelc is a discovery waiting to happen. Both her previous films, "Monument" & "Tower: A Bright Day", are fantastic. Her work is reminiscent of Jessica Hausner and Lucile Hadzihalilovic. variety.com/2025/film/gl...

Great book, but supremely depressing.

Followed it up with Olivier Assayas’s Carlos part 1

Nice uplifting Sunday afternoon viewing:
