HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY TO GOOD BOY BY @talkscaredpod.bsky.social Order from our bookshop or your favourite retailer. After a boy vanishes on the outskirts of a small town, a woman spies a mysterious man digging a grave in the exact spot of the disappearance. www.wildhuntbooks.co.uk/books/p/good...

My new book, THE FLESH KING is out today and available everywhere your get your books. But I’d feel like an ass if I didn’t mention new books by two of my favorite writers: THE ESSENTIAL HORROR OF JOE R. LANSDALE and SHADOW TICKET by Thomas Pynchon. Why not go nuts and get all three?

Telluride Horror Show is known for their literary programming, and this year's lineup is a veritable roll call of the best horror authors working today.

Emergency baby.

Updated trailer for FIEND!!!

I have covid and also made the most beautiful spreadsheet of my life today I can have it all

hanging out with @jrjisprobable.bsky.social and Grady Hendrix—two people I WILL be hanging out with here in October, at Telluride Horror Show:

Do yourself a favor and pick up Coffin Moon by @keithrosson.bsky.social. While you're at it, grab Fever House and The Devil By Name. Lean, vicious neo-noir horror at its best. Plus he's another Portland degen, you gotta support your Portland degens. bookshop.org/p/books/coff...

It’s cover reveal day for I Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend for $200! A book about nostalgia, grief, digital brainrot, the loneliness epidemic, and the boundless, breathless power of a child’s imagination, but mostly about beating puppets to death with your bare fists. linktr.ee/killyourimag...

B&N Bridgeport all set up for the event this Saturday with @wnwagner.bsky.social and I! Also, hanging out on the J shelf with @sgj.bsky.social, @rossjefferyauthor.bsky.social, @pnwscribe.bsky.social, and @jrjisprobable.bsky.social.

good books

Scarewaves: Beyond The Grave, the second book in the middle grade Scarewaves book series, is out today! If you read it, I really hope you enjoy it! It’s slimy and full of monsters, the exact kind of thing I would have loved at that age. Available at most major book retailers!

14. The best William Friedkin horror film is "Bug" and it isn't close

Holy hell. NYT raves don’t get any better: “A thunderous gallop of a war novel, a new classic, a best-in-class example of speculative fiction. Mysterious and full of grace, rambling and ducking and shifting for 285 dizzying, blood-soaked, astonishing pages.”

STILL ON SALE: THE HUNGER ebook is a bargain all this month www.amazon.co.uk/Hunger-Deepl...

Day 2 of Workplace #horror recs @breteastonellis.bsky.social @mikebockoven.bsky.social @olgaravn.bsky.social @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social @robwhart.bsky.social @sarahroseetter.bsky.social @toddkeisling.com @qntm.org @ramseycampbell.bsky.social @jonkaczka.bsky.social @jrjisprobable.bsky.social

it is my birthday. these are my books. they are about having a bad time all the time.

TOGI & THE LOOP = available on the cheap and palling around at the top of the charts.

For the evening crowd.

The film adaptation of my first novel, SHE RIDES SHOTGUN, will hit theaters in August, starring Taron Egerton and Ana Sophia Heger. I'm glad more people get to meet Nate and Polly and the bear. Check it out: variety.com/2025/film/ne...

"Exactly how long can you stand on a street corner showing two drug dealers your scar-tissue-induced radical penis curvature? The answer is twelve seconds. After that it feels weird." Man, coming back to SKULLCRACK CITY by @jrjisprobable.bsky.social is like catching up with an old friend...

Walking by art gallery in French Quarter and saw this amazing Swamp Thing piece. Artist is Mei Mei and card says it's "needle felted merino wool." #comics #art

Weird fiction and cyberpunk authors need to watch more 1970s neonoir, fantasy authors need to read more pre-1950s grotesque fantasy books, I will not be explaining myself at this or any other time.

I want to go for a run but I also want to give myself to the soil, to rot, to let spores and molluscs have their way with my flesh and become nutrition for the life that will bloom from my demise

Throwback pic: they wanted me to stand in the middle and I said hell, no @paultremblay.bsky.social @sgj.bsky.social @jrjisprobable.bsky.social

Friday, May 2nd, NYC, come hear @sgj.bsky.social , @gabino.bsky.social , and me chattin'. worldvoices.pen.org/event/25-art...

I'm so very excited. This is a first for me. (and it's beautiful)

I've read maybe a dozen of my friend @sgj.bsky.social's novels & been edified by each of them in some way or another. MONGRELS may be the best werewolf story I've ever heard. His new book, THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER is not only fucking wonderful - it's in the running for the great American novel.

The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is out today. Hope y’all like it.

Perfectly shelved. And thank you!

Now Enjoying: Skullcrack City by Jeremy Robert Johnson, the perfect mash up between Palahniuk and William Gibson, an hallucinogenic slide into the corporate business hell that defines our modern world, feverish like a disease and addictive as playing with the Lament Configuration.

they say not to judge a book by its cover but lets be real, those early jeremy robert johnson short story collections had some pretty dang sick covers. 'angel dust apocalypse' especially, just a perfect fit for the vibes of the stories inside 📚💙

Jeremy Robert Johnson is one of the best out there doing the thing. The Loop and Entropy In Bloom are both personal all-timers.

hey, cool:

"Mathematics is the language of nature." (Also, thanks to the readers and booksellers whose advocacy for this weird book has never relented. Y'all are amazing!)

Jeremy Robert Johnson's "Skullcrack City." A relentless tornado of ideas, a novel that makes gross-out humour and cosmic evil work perfectly together. One of the most chilling endings I've ever read.

It's probably not the season for horror, but The Loop by @jrjisprobable.bsky.social kicks motherfucking ass.

100% of profits from Dec 24 sales of all Coevolution Press titles will be donated to aid Portland's Path Home in their mission to "empower families with children to get back into housing & stay there." Thank you for all you do to share & support this annual royalty drive. (1/2)

5th and last book from Telluride guest authors - Whalefall by @danielkraus.bsky.social who was unable to attend. A pulse-pounder that pairs well with @jrjisprobable.bsky.social In The River. These are hardcore Uppers and Downers in print form, whew!!!

IN THE RIVER, by Jeremy Robert Johnson. An amazing piece of fiction. Emotional, beautiful, haunting. And Jeremy donates all royalties to Path Home, a homeless charity in Portland, Oregon, as he has done for SIX years. Buy this book.

@lairdbarron.bsky.social @spookhouse.bsky.social @jrjisprobable.bsky.social @catvalente.bsky.social Introducing the latest Fall/Winter cocktail menu… on what is a most disappointing autumnal day. Why is the sun out? Why am I sweating? Why has the season forsaken me?

Went 1/2 a year without posting. Here's an update: *NOT DEAD *Got a day job - data analytics/compliance *Became a full time snowboarding dad *Quit drinking, way healthier *Finally feel like writing another novel - I know it has to be wild and funny and that's it right now
