In this collection of wickedly imaginative dark tales by Vivian Kasley, you’ll discover what sometimes lurks beneath the seemingly ordinary. All that’s left to do now, dear readers, is open the book and watch nightmares come to life. Coming this Halloween!

The next Tempered Tales is long overdue so the next one will be in 2026. The theme? Little Red Riding Hood. I’m still hammering out the details, but I do know the short story word count will be a max of 2500 words. There will be poetry. And. SD doesn’t know yet. Start writing.

Just 10 days until TEENAGE GIRLS CAN BE DEMONS, and I'm excited to share these lovely words from Dawn Kurtagich, author of The Thorns, about the collection 🤩 13 coming-of-rage stories, out from Titan in a little over a week! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/teenage-gi...

Two exciting projects! The first is the Monster Gunslingers card game, a fun party twist on Texas Hold'Em. The cards have special abilities and beautifully drawn, human-made artwork featuring characters from my award-winning books - www.kickstarter.com/projects/red... #SciFiChat #weirdwest

The second project I'm in the midst of is an anthology I put together called Women of the Weird West, coming out next year from @brigidsgatepress.bsky.social. The invited stories are excellent, and the open-sub stories (over 250 submissions!!) are really wow'ing me! #scifichat #weirdwest

When you announce there will be no more catnip at the budget meetings.

Love to see total strangers enjoying the arc of my collection! 🖤 Her review is rad! "Let me preface this review by saying that horror is more than gore, slashers and jump scares. Vivian Kasley created old-school horror stories reminiscent

Thanks for running this, Eryn! 🖤 On the subject of houses, I have a novella wherein the repurposed house has its own agenda, although the 9-yr-old narrator is too busy playing a brutal game of a pretend 'Royal Court' with her dormmates to realise the latent evil: brigidsgatepress.com/product/what...

Gentle reminder that it’s time to reserve or pick up your copy of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. We start reading August 30th.

If you can, stop by and feed your sweet tooth. If not, scan the QR code below. Bakes for Books is today until we sell out or noon. 7930 Floyd St. in downtown OP. #supportindiebookstores

One year of my epic folklore fantasy with a smattering of romance selling pretty consistently (except when work got busy/ my holiday.) What a dreamy year. Still can’t believe I got an Indie Press Award accolade either this book. 😍🌊 Thanks to @brigidsgatepress.bsky.social #FantasyBooks #BookSky

Is it hell hot where you are? Visit your local library to cool down and ask your librarian to recommend a book outside of your normal genre of interest.* *And perhaps a book on maintaining the perfect grasshopper ratio in your home garden since someone left the gates to help open. Again.

#Booksky... Coming soon from @brigidsgatepress.bsky.social.

“A dazzling, delightfully entertaining fusion of a horror tale and a Western.” Thank you Kirkus Indie for the review of the second book in my western horror series MELINDA WEST AND THE GREMLIN QUEEN! @brigidsgatepress.bsky.social www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews... #weirdwest #bookreview

This is your reminder that Mary Shelley’s birthday is August 30th. You have plenty of time to grab Frankenstein from the library or purchase a copy. This year I’m reading the 1831 version.

Lining up your next NetGalley reads?

Hmmm….this reminds me of something www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you live in the Midwest, you know the horrors of summerween are real: 100+ degree days, hot rain, flash floods, and corn sweat. Someone close the gates of hell before the grasshoppers get out.
