This kid is the apple of my eye. Happy Birthday, Charlie. Dad loves you. ❤️

I've been doing a stock take & wanted to let you know of the titles that are low in stock: sstpublications.co.uk/low-stock-5-... @joshmalerman.bsky.social @paultremblay.bsky.social @joerlansdale.bsky.social @danielkraus.com @sgj.bsky.social @rioyouers.bsky.social @richardchizmar.bsky.social

The nicest thing I've read on social media all day. Scratch that - all week. Scratch that, too - all year!

The first release from Mystic Monkey Press is one of my favorites! THE OCEAN DARK, originally written as "Jack Rogan." I've licensed the cover of the German edition by Samuel Araya. This is available now in paperback, hardcover, and ebook from most online booksellers.

Fantastic news. What the world needs now is love sweet love ... but also more Christopher Golden.

I am reading this now, for a @ala-booklist.bsky.social review. Spoiler alert: it's terrific.

I hate that we are living in times where it feels the only thing we can do is triage those affected. Where charity is the only weapon against the worst people in the world. But if you can fix something for someone today, please do it. A lot of folks are asking for help, maybe throw them some.

Oh, wow, @rioyouers.bsky.social. That hammer scene...calm, calculated, graphic, and satisfying. 🔥 Reminder to put Rio's books on your list. 💙📚

LOOK WHAT ALMA'S GOT! 😁

WHAT THEY DID has a Goodreads page. Go on . . . show it some love. ☺️ www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

It’s been a while since I read Halcyon by @rioyouers.bsky.social but it suddenly feels somewhat prophetic, almost current events… it pops into my head regularly as it contains one of the best villains ever…!

Yeah. I'm with Roxane on this.

Just a reminder that WESTLAKE SOUL is available on Audible and that you have never read anything like it before. Also, the narrator, Evan Greenberg, really nails Westlake's voice. People love this novel, and it's a great experience on audiobook. Give it a shot: www.audible.ca/pd/Westlake-...

Calling all reviewers and beautiful bookish people. WHAT THEY DID is now available for request over at NetGalley. Take a chance on it. I think it’ll stay with you.

Without a shred of hyperbole, it took everything in my soul to write this novel. It nearly broke me, but I pushed on. I never gave up. WHAT THEY DID: Available in bookstores everywhere August 18, 2026.

New @ala-booklist.bsky.social review assignment. Big fan of @rioyouers.bsky.social's books. @harpercollins.bsky.social

Hard agree.

Went on a pre-order spree today and loaded up on some great books coming soon. Links in the comments. Nowhere Burning by @catrionaward.bsky.social What They Did by @rioyouers.bsky.social You Have to Let Them Bleed by @annieneugebauer.bsky.social The Boatman by @alexgrecian.bsky.social

I'm so sad about the passing of Rob Reiner & his wife Michele. Not only did Mr. Reiner direct some of my favorite films, he also rallied against unfairness and inequality and was never afraid to point a finger at those in charge. That makes him a hero in my book. RIP, Rob & Michele. You were loved.

*Rio grins an impossibly wide grin*

Perfect for Halloween. Check out my buddy, James Campbell's, brand new single, available now wherever you stream your music. Give it a listen, and get your pumpkins jumpin'. open.spotify.com/album/1zg41m...

I don't care how rare or special it is. I'm staying the fucking away from anything called a "white-knuckled wolf spider." www.bbc.com/news/article...

NO SECOND CHANCES by Rio Youers. Drop this novel on your phone or e-reader of choice for $1.99 (for a limited time, US only). It's better for your soul and your brain than doom scrolling. It's better than Candy Crush, too.

Well this is lovely. Thank you, Lydia. :)

One of my favourite stories from the End of the World As We Know It anthology so far Keep The Devil Down by @rioyouers.bsky.social focuses on the incredible character of Elise, a complex and complicated person who is the essence of what The Stand is about - the desperate pull between good and evil

Cool fact: @stephenking.bsky.social loved this book, and I think you will, too. NO SECOND CHANCES is only $1.99 on e-book for a limited time. For that price, it'd be a damn shame to miss out.

"Keep the Devil Down" by @rioyouers.bsky.social is another standout. Sweet jeezus.

I've been reading THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT slowly, savoring it to keep the stories from blending together. Just got to "Wrong Fucking Place, Wrong Fucking Time" by @crobertcargill.bsky.social, and holy hell, is that a standout. Can this be a movie? I want it to be a movie.

Here's a fun little novel you might have missed. Currently only $2.99 across e-reading platforms. (US only.)

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.

I listened to this a few weeks ago and it was pretty awesome.

I'm in Toronto tonight for Kula Shaker. Peace, love, rock and roll. ✌️

The e-book is only $1.99 for a limited time. Please help me spread the word. Thanks! :)

Sad to say goodbye to Robert Redford but happy for the movies, characters, and moments he gave us. RIP.

I'm so ready for this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuRX...

I went to see the Waterboys at the Danforth in Toronto last Thursday. Such a great show, and Steve Earle showed up on the big screen!

I'm reading "Keep the Devil Down" by @rioyouers.bsky.social in The End of the World As We Know It, and I had to take a break to go order another of his books. I am always blown away by his writing. #booksky

Might I recommend one of my novels if you feel like a shot of action in your life?

"Keep the Devil Down" by @rioyouers.bsky.social in The End of the World As We Know It is such an intense, thrilling story. I had to write about it. Oh man. I love this book so much: roland19.wordpress.com/2025/09/05/e... @briankeene.bsky.social @cgolden.bsky.social #books
