hey horror people, is OBSESSION tooooo scary for me? Is it like HEREDITARY-ish or like WEAPONS, what's the vibe? It looks really good @stephengrahamjones.com have you seen it

My taste in music has peaked and I don't care.

A reminder that some people have praised this book effusively. Others have been baffled by it. Sometimes these are the same people. weirdpunkbooks.square.site/product/the-...

Well, I have been changed by the Florence + The Machine show last night in Seattle. Her witch choir hexed us, Florence Welch lead us in a chant for peace, and she performed a ritual with us where everyone put their phones away and we hugged each other and ascended...my favorite concert ever

Little Review Copy Book Haul

Devastated to learn that the iconic author Koji Suzuki has passed away. He was an inimitable visionary when it came to crafting disturbing, psychologically complex horror fiction. This is a terrible loss…

Episodic TV is far superior to the binge-watch open.substack.com/pub/sadiehar...

If you don't have Apple TV, this is me convincing you to get it for Widow's Bay

Night Worms day!! 🖤🖤 #booksky

If our horror books are winning Pulitzers, can they win our Stokers now too? Pretty please :) open.substack.com/pub/sadiehar...

Already super obsessed with this! A woman (who might be a vamp) commissions a man to paint her portrait (but make her youthful) 🩸 and some crazy things are happening at night

Human Horror. Doesn’t get any scarier than this.

Sure, sex is great but have you ever listened to a book while you eyeball read it at the same time?

@sadiehartmann.bsky.social As a horror author who stares at the horror/thriller sections in the bookstore and gets overwhelmed, I'm really enjoying 101 Horror Books to Read Before You're Murdered. Thanks so much for writing this and suggesting all these awesome stories and authors!

The thing about book recommendations as social media content and curating book lists based on hyper-specific tropes is that, it helps if you've ACTUALLY READ THE BOOKS YOU'RE RECOMMENDING. JFC. Just tell people they are suggestions or they're on your TBR if you haven't read them all!

INCARNATE ARCs are in! Putnam will be deciding soon about mailing, so please stand by. Or if you're on @netgalley.bsky.social you can request a review copy. Hard to believe we're 5 months away

Well I am very surprised. WHY I LOVE HORROR is a finalist for a Locus Award. For this book to be embraced by the Horror community made me so happy, but to see it crossing into the larger "speculative" space is beyond what I thought possible. locusmag.com/2026/04/2026...
