What’s with all the bots and scammers? Never used Twitter/X, so this is new for me

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

50 pages in and… hooked! Return of the King 👑 🐉 @joe-hill.bsky.social

4 years later, this is still one of my favourite things I’ve written:

We are not horses. We are human. We are… Thoroughly enjoyed the Squid Game finale. Great series 🎠

I write 5000-8000 words short stories…. Most markets have a 5000 word limit 🙄

The lawyer representing the families of the men deported to El Salvador has basically been kidnapped and held in a secret location in El Salvador. This should be a big deal. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

A moment of stunned silence prevailed in the study between the four men, the woman lying dead. On the writing bureau, moonlight twinkled in the wine bottles. The temperature inside was dropping fast; frigid, prying fingers bypassed the window, pinching at Dupuis’ drenched legs. #HBTD

Donald Trump and JD Vance are Russian assets. Pass it on!

Trump is a vile POS.

This timeline seems to be "And Stillson won anyway."

Trump's plan with Gaza parallels Putin's plan in crimea. Both want a hotel.

More of this please

Experimenting with prologues for HBTD. Finding a balance between a great reader promise and spilling all the beans in the first few pages is an interesting balancing act 🎬

Read this piece

Not placing your hand on the bible during your oath means nothing to most Brits and a sizable part of Europe, but from the Orange Sasquartch it says a lot

Just got developmental feedback on my novella, Her Being Toward Death 💀 Can't wait to get stuck in ✍️📖☕️

Finally got around to watching Terrifier. Great idea, but it missed the mark a bit IMO. Think I enjoyed the funny moments most

Godzilla Minus One was 👌 (late to the party again, I know...) I have a Kaiju inspired story on sub, so 🤞

Finished watching The Platform 1 and 2 on Netflix. Awesome and full of tension. Anyone else like them?

Nearly 40 new followers in a day... bots?

Any tea drinkers out there? I'm writing with some very October pumpkin chai to keep me company

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #690,917! Is this a good flex?

Thrilled to announce my debut Novella, Her Being Toward Death! 📜 HBTD is forthcoming from @grendelpress.bsky.social. Expect supernatural mystery, psychological horror, and one woman's battle against 18th century societal norms... and her sanity 💀 grendelpress.com/j-m-faulkner...

Finished Dracula (on Nov. 6, same day the book ends - some black magic there...). Deserves its rep. 5 more vampire stories that shaped me as a writer in the order I read them: The Historian Interview with the Vampire Salem's Lot I Am Legend Carmilla

Reading Dracula for the first time and having a blast! 🧛‍♂️🦇💥

The Sickle and the Tithe by @catherinemccarthy.bsky.social is a wonderfully written, short folk horror story with a cherry on top ending. I won't give more away

Criminally underrated FOLK HORROR: The TV series FROM 💀 Made by the producers of Lost with a killer mystery to match. With a bigger audience and budget, could be A-Tier. Can't wait for the next one.

Find out what inspired @catherinemccarthy.bsky.social's The Sickle and the Tithe in Fiends III. You read what inspired my story, Radegast, here: jmfaulkner.com/the-fiends-i...

Lovely shout out in this post from JM Faulkner and an interesting explanation of how he wrote his short story “Radegast” (which I loved) from the new Fiends in the Furrows III

A fantasy edition of Solarpunk Magazine featuring my short story "Sunshine" will be released on September 12th, 2023. I can't wait to hop into more Solarpunk again in the nearish future (after I've finished penning some more horror). You can preorder it here: solarpunkmagazine.com/shop/solarpu...
