33. @nadiabulkin.bsky.social, Issues With Authority, 2025. Thank you @ghoulish.bsky.social for this Weird & timely 3 novella collection. So good! Rating: a fab tiara & a box of flea market off-air VHS guaranteed to be cool, but you have to watch them all. Probably not cursed. Best of luck to you!

My latest newsletter is live! @nadiabulkin.bsky.social stops by to give us some story recs! I’ve got a little cape cod serial killer story in this one and a few quick thoughts on the health of short story publishing :) coreys-stories.beehiiv.com/p/corey-s-st...

HELL HOUSE: LINEAGE: Minor characters from previous HH movies, amateurishly acted and directed, struggle to invent a reason for this movie's existence and choose something that's neither original nor in keeping with the spirit of the franchise. A baffling failure at every level. Grade = F. (Shudder)

If you're looking for something spooky to watch on Halloween, I have recommendations for you! First up is my go-to list for the occasion: boxd.it/dofPE

If you haven’t gotten a paperback of The Nightmare Box by @cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social or Why Didn’t You Just Leave edited by @nadiabulkin.bsky.social and @omgjulia.bsky.social, NOW is the time. And proceeds are going to a good cause.

You know who’s stopping by my next newsletter to talk about her new book and give us 5 short story recs???? @nadiabulkin.bsky.social!!! Don’t want to miss out? Sign up here: coreys-stories.beehiiv.com?fbclid=PAZnR...

Not me wiping back tears at the last pages of @nadiabulkin.bsky.social’s masterful “Red Skies in the Morning,” from her collection ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY. “Red Skies” may be my fav thing she’s written, it so completely gets grief & loss & life in a world that feels increasingly meaningless &hopeless

These three novellas had me totally hooked. This is the type of deep, multifaceted horror that delivers thematically and at a sentence level. Recommended for Halloween!

You need to listen to @acwise.bsky.social's story. It's terrifying and sad and a total October vibe.

Just a friendly reminder that this is happening tonight! Listen to me and @nadiabulkin.bsky.social read you some scary stories in honor of the spookiest month!

It’s Spookymonth at Story Hour! This week, Nadia Bulkin and A.C. Wise will read from their own work. We don’t dare tell you more at this point. Join us Wednesday, 7:00 p.m. PDT! @nadiabulkin.bsky.social @acwise.bsky.social www.storyhour2020.com

Hey! @nadiabulkin.bsky.social AND @acwise.bsky.social? That’s way better than whatever lame movie or insipid YouTuber you were going to watch. Tune in!

story hour! story hour! story hour! (@storyhour.bsky.social)

big restock of Nadia Bulkin’s ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY just arrived. come get your copy at the shop or order direct on our webstore: ghoulish.rip/product/issu... @nadiabulkin.bsky.social

Thoroughly enjoyed @nadiabulkin.bsky.social's "She Said Destroy" - efficient, merciless, and savagely alive, Bulkin's anthology dishes out short spec horror whose shadows will linger. Looking forward to picking up "Issues with Authority"

For all my DC folks: www.popville.com/2025/10/beho...

A fair number of problems seem downstream from the fact that the best way to be a human is to grow, change, and evolve but the best way to be successful online is to never change and always double, triple, and quadruple down every time you are wrong.

Wrote out some Postcards to Voters while listening to music and now I’m settling down to finish reading the ferociously great collection Issues with Authority by @nadiabulkin.bsky.social

I honestly think the people I met on tennis twitter (and adjacent platforms) kept me from having a mental breakdown from 2017-2019. Then again other people on tennis twitter were contributing to said breakdown, so a little column A, column B.

In my latest @bookriot.bsky.social, I list 6 Recent Horror Short Story Collections with work by @nadiabulkin.bsky.social, @comptonwrites.bsky.social, @thomasha.bsky.social, @haileypiperfights.bsky.social, Samanta Schweblin, and @kristinaten.bsky.social! bookriot.com/recent-upcom...

I just finished the last story and can say this book is 10/10. If anyone is on the fence…buy it!

Hell yeah re: ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY: "This collection dabbles in the paranoia and abuses of power happening in our everyday lives. Bulkin takes the dial of these concepts and turns it up to the max." 🎚️ bookriot.com/recent-upcom...

Originally aired in 1998. Some Nostradamus shit right here. youtu.be/rLifidBN5S4?...

I have *so many* that I'm going to limit this to things people usually assume I've seen: The Big Lebowski, The Wire, Mrs. Doubtfire, Office Space, any of the I Know What You Did Last Summers, Devil Wears Prada, Lost, Arrested Development, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

This is unironically how I see the world

THE CHILDREN UNDER THE HOUSE: A mute little girl's therapy sessions are narrated entirely through the kid's drawings and the therapist's notes. Stomach-turning creepy + genuinely disturbing no-budget analog horror, until a last-minute shark jump. Grade = A- for the first 75%, C- for the end. (Tubi)

I read She Said Destroy earlier this year and loved every singles story. Issues With Authority arrived in the mail two days ago. First two stories are brilliant. The pageant story had me squirming and giggling. On to Red Skies in the Morning. AND, Laird Barron blurb on your second book!!!

This Sunday at 6pm EST! I'll be chatting with the one and only Mike Davis of the Lovecraft eZine Show on ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs46...

It’s just so weird to me how people just see art as a product and not a tool of human connection and communication. Like that’s the whole fucking point.

A great list of deep cuts. I've only seen 2, 1 of which - "Light From Light" - I thought was excellent. letterboxd.com/journal/lett...

Just showed this to Roommate whose only response was "No."

What emoji grinds your gears the most? For me it's 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm only one story in (Cop Car, which is RIYL Scanners, Akira, The Boys even)... but this book kicks ass. BIG recommend.

@nadiabulkin.bsky.social's Issues With Authority has a great sense of dread. Not an outright twisted depiction of something, there's lots of that too, but the steadily mounting wrongness through each of the novellas is as exquisite as the horrors within.

I missed out on the first chance to pick up @nadiabulkin.bsky.social’s Red Skies in the Morning when it came out as a standalone. I’m excited to finally read it and the other two novellas collected in ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY.

An absolutely insane story about false confession: man reports his dad missing, police pressure him to confess to his dad's murder (lying about finding his dad's body, threatening his dog, etc), man confesses and tries to kill himself, dad comes home perfectly fine. abc11.com/post/city-fo...

In today's #bookmail: @nadiabulkin.bsky.social's new three-novella collection, ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY, has arrived! And could there be a more timely title? Speedily delivered by @ghoulish.bsky.social⚡

tag yourself I'm "EVERYTHING IS FINE" DOG

Issues With Authority by @nadiabulkin.bsky.social arrived today. Red Skies in the Morning was utterly haunting. I can't wait to read the other two tales. Thanks @ghoulish.bsky.social!

Hey, *I’m* a problem woman who struggles with authority and the horror of having a body! If that sounds like you too, check out this collection—I just got my copy, can’t wait to get into it! 🖤

Yesterday was pub day for my novella collection, ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY. I never know how to convince people to buy things so I figured I'd just talk a bit about the three included stories and where they come from, to mark the occasion.

Hey remember when I said that stuff down there? That's right, "Red Skies in the Morning" is one of the three stories in that new release what I just mentioned back when, and @nadiabulkin.bsky.social's ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY is worth the price just for that. bsky.app/profile/fact...

If the other two are as good as Red Skies in the Morning (and there’s no reason to assume they aren’t), this will be very, very well worth your time www.seizethepress.com/2025/03/29/r...

Happy release day to @nadiabulkin.bsky.social's ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY, a collection of three long works that @haileypiperfights.bsky.social called "one-of-a-kind." Any day with new Nadia Bulkin fiction in the world is immediately worth celebrating. Hell yes! More here: ghoulish.rip/nadia-bulkin...

Celebrate New Books Today! @nadiabulkin.bsky.social @almakatsu.bsky.social @jonathanjanz.bsky.social @haileypiperfights.bsky.social @titanbooks.bsky.social @quillandcrow.com @rebelsam94.bsky.social List in the alt text!

Just got confirmation from @ghoulish.bsky.social that my preorder of @nadiabulkin.bsky.social’s new book ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY is on the way, and that’s just the kind of news I needed to get me through the last half of the day. Pretty excited for this one.

Issues With Authority mentioned! 😍😍 Bonus: there are actually 2 novellas in the book named after Mitski songs: "Your Next Best American Girl" and the first one, new to this volume: "Cop Car."
