Year 3 of getting my ARC of THE ONLY GOOD INDIANS signed by @sgj.bsky.social at @cofestivalofhorror.bsky.social. Go read it 🫵🏻

Today’s the day all our heads (and hearts) get replaced with this book, from @raforall.bsky.social

Yep:

Flight delayed so continually (thunderstorms in Denver) that I finished all my work, can, for the first time in YEARS, maybe actually … watch a movie in-flight? Unless I just jinxed it. Even untangled my plug-in headphones for this momentous possibility. And already got a snack ready.

Back from a weekend visiting the college kid in Nashville and getting ready for release day tomorrow! Click below for details on how to join me on the road. @sagapressbooks.bsky.social @laneheymont.bsky.social raforall.blogspot.com/2025/08/why-...

Some of the best from one of the best. Don't miss out on this deal. #booksky

A fun thing I noticed today: my Grimdark Magazine review of The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephen Graham Jones is quoted three times in the Wikipedia entry for the book. (Under Style and Reception.) Me, alongside major outlets like the Los Angeles Review of Books and Publishers Weekly… […]

New profile pic, who dis? And no, these aren’t all the copies I have 😅🦬🩸

Wow: whole thread. And? I really got that accent? Guess I been living with it so long I don’t even hear it anymore.

whoah:

Calling all horror authors, saw this and had to share. @sgj.bsky.social is choosing the winner. Anyone have an unpublished #horror #novella lying around? Seems like a great opportunity. #horrorwriter #booksky

Why in the world does little dude look scared out of his mind? May be because he knows @sgj.bsky.social is the guy who wrote about eating pinkie fingers in Killer On the Road. He gave him permission to try and eat fingers... like mine.

I mean, I don’t really have time. But I also can’t not.

Second Chipotle meal so far, here. Think I’m liking Brooklyn.

Getting to hang with @blacktopkid.bsky.social in Denver AND Brooklyn in the same 72hrs? It’s a charmed life.

Ah: just like Bender, Data lives in a closet

Take a look at the darkest parts of the past with these seven incredible historical horror books like 'The Buffalo Hunter Hunter' by Stephen Graham Jones.

Wow, first time to ACTUALLY get in the wrong Lyft. Kind of neat, what a big mess-up it is for all involved—especially the dude WAITING for the ride I was in (he was fuming. me? I’m just typically late, no big deal, nobody’s going to be surprised).

signed up all the SGJ books at the B Terminal Tattered Cover, DEN. currently spying on someone's either bear claw or apple fritter from Voodoo Donuts. well, me and this one bird are watching it closely, and Thinking Thoughts. good times, good times.

@sgj.bsky.social Utah and Utah Humanities couldn’t be more thrilled about this!!!

Whoah, these Evernight/@titanbooks.bsky.social Indian Lake books are AMAZING. Back covers are killer, too.

From @sgj.bsky.social. From issues to trades to omnibus: Earthdivers. Coming soon.

Very exciting used bookstore find! Getting ready for my October reading so the timing is perfect. Won’t be the only @sgj.bsky.social book(s) I read next month either. #BookSky 📚💙

couldn't be more fitting:

hey, cool: Agustina Bazterrica and me in DC at the National Book Festival. Not sure if the audience'll be in this, but there's better than a thousand people out there:

All juiced up with my Covid shot, just in time to have a fever for traveling to Brooklyn tomorrow. Need to write three things on the plane, too. The fever should help with that (they always do).

Friend unearthed this: my first convention. Had done festivals and conferences before, but nothing like StarFest. Did a panel with Mario Acevedo and Carrie Vaughn. Was hooked forevermore.

Hey, killer:

Arm of the chair in my campus office is like a good character: there’s layers, and trauma, and history—story there.

This GORGEOUS edition of the Indian Lake trilogy by @sgj.bsky.social just went up for sale! I predict it'll sell out quickly. MY HEART IS A CHAINSAW, DON'T FEAR THE REAPER THE ANGEL OF INDIAN LAKE From @illumicrate.bsky.social & @evernightbooks.bsky.social #jadedanielsismyfinalgirl

Hey: this ranger says that in 1931 some sloth tracks were presumed to be Bigfoot. But that term wasn’t in circulation back then, was it? I mean, maybe he updated it—fine—but … what WERE they thinking the tracks were? Very interested. Especially in/for the dry part(s) of NM.

Wrote a photo essay for @puncturedlines.bsky.social about nostalgia, Soviet-era children’s books, speculative fiction, and a recent trip to the country of Georgia. Come for the picture of baby-me talking into a mall phone. Stay for Svetlana Boym 💗 ➡️ puncturedlines.com/2025/09/16/

man, scheduling events deep into 2027, here. it's hopeful, I guess—presumes the world won't have crumbled apart, society won't have fallen down, civilization will still be persisting. or? maybe I do my events Punch & Judy style, like in Riddley Walker. nevermind my complete lack of puppetry skills.

Had no idea this was Steve Winwood—at FIFTEEN!
