I had a few people say things this weekend like “Are you one of the organizers?” and “Are you a writer?” And yes I’m one of the organizers they don’t just keep me around to do speeches about how you’re gonna die and yes I’m a writer I wrote a book called CHURCHBURNER you should check it out. 🔥⛪️🔥

VOIDCON 3 It's tough to say something that hasn't already been said, to put into words what this weekend meant to me. If you can't find your space in the world, build it. Endless love to the Void Collective: Olivia, Evan, Sam, Charlene, Michael, Talmadge, Matthew, you all have my heart.

VOIDCON 3 DAY 2 IS DEAD AND YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE. DAY 3 IS TOMORROW. LAST DAY. MAKE IT COUNT. EVEN IF WE’RE JUST DANCING IN THE DARK.

VOIDCON @voidcon.bsky.social @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social

VOIDCON 3 IS DEAD. WE CAN NEVER THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR BEING A PART OF THIS THING. IF NEXT YEAR WE ARE STILL ON THIS SIDE OF THE DIRT WE WILL SEE YOU AND HEAR YOU AND EMBRACE YOU AND SMELL YOU AGAIN. HAIL THE VOID. #voidcon

Voidcon 3 is done. I feel like each year is a refinement and so each year is the best year. We, and I mean every one of you who shared time with us, are why this community is special. Thank you. We are cocreating something unique and wonderful and I’m grateful for it and for you 🖤 my heart is full

TREEKNOCK

I feel like an apparition. Hollowed out. Bones rattlin around in an empty tank. If you were one of the last ones standing on any night of VOIDCON I both love you and hate you and I hope to see you again soon. THANK YOU.

@voidcon.bsky.social baby!

VOID @caninebrainz.bsky.social @ghoulish.bsky.social @miseryvulture.bsky.social @justinlutz.bsky.social

Read @justinlutz.bsky.social Gone to Seed that @filthyloot.bsky.social put out, shout out Ira, and I had such a blast with this! The trigger control with these stories is wild. I felt frozen in place, in the fucking thick of it, then pop, the shit goes down at exact time it needs to for max effect

#booksky #horrorsky #arcreview #📚🩸 #💙 #newmeat NEW MEAT IN A CLEAN ROOM 5💀s Yet another book from @filthyloot.bsky.social I can recommend to people if they want to get a taste of the talents of these respective authors . When things get Weird, the Weird write stories like these .

THE VOID IS COMING ARE YOU PREPARED? USE THIS STARTER PACK TO BEGIN

I'll be there. Just look for the guy in the tracksuit stealing beers out of @justinlutz.bsky.social's cooler

This was a really fun conversation!

Someone please write me an essay for GROW WORMS arguing that both CHUD and SHARKNADO are parts of the HOME ALONE cinematic universe

Like usual, KILLER ON THE ROAD sings with @sgj.bsky.social's usual firecracker prose, violent sentences that dance. Loving it

Spotted: GIVE UNTO US by @justinlutz.bsky.social at BMV Books in Toronto

I am alive, I just forget about this. New zines out if you find me in person, like this weekend at the Phoenixville PRFM. My punk horror novel is over 100k, god help me. Summer in Phoenixville slogs on, let's hang out

Back to reality after spending my birthday weekend camping, slingin' books, and watching unhinged movies with my friends. All hail VHS Fest, long live the Mahoning Drive-In

READ JUSTIN LUTZ @justinlutz.bsky.social @mahoningdit.bsky.social

A male grooming company called How to Trim Your Dragon

happy 1-year anniversary to @justinlutz.bsky.social's GIVE UNTO US! recommended for lovers of goopy pus and generous holes.

I'm loving living in Phoenixville. Deck beers in the sun and HOUSE OF ROT by @dangerslater.bsky.social

MJ's @theneonbanshee.bsky.social says, "Although the overarching theme is technology’s effects on society and the body, I am struck by the gender elements and how technology also changes sex and relations to others." #Videodrome is Tori's latest deep dive for her column, Cronenberg on Sex & Gender.

Alright, I'm confirmed for @voidcon.bsky.social, I've got my room booked, now all I need to do is wait for 5 months. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

New additions to our online store include signed books by @justinlutz.bsky.social, @nytebird45.bsky.social, Jamal Hodge, and @kitgonzo.bsky.social. Quantities limited! vortexbooksandcomicsonline.bigcartel.com

Generally incredibly grateful today for all the people out there making weird art, knocking down gates for themselves and others, organizing, building, creating, and generally making as much of a nuisance of themselves as they can on their one-way ride in the human meat suit. Thank you

I’ve been ordering shirts from Fright Rags for 2 decades. In fact, I’m wearing a 20 year old FR shirt as I type this. To have them doing CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD merch is unreal. Grab some here: www.fright-rags.com/collections/...

READ MY BOOK ABOUT HUMAN ROT. IT'S FUNNY AND SAD AND GROSS AND I THINK YOU'LL LOVE IT.

Okay, seriously considering flying to Florida for the Reversal of Man reunion. Are any of my writer friends from Tampa/Gainesville/ Tallahassee? I'd love to stay a few days and set up book events. Long shot, but let's shoot our shot!

Ghouls, our latest free newsletter has just gone live. Discussed within: our newest publication, upcoming publications, the future of our book festival, a discount on shirts, and the return of our podcast. buttondown.com/ghoulish/arc...

evil country! evil world! makes you so fucking sick

Hey friends. I've not been super vocal about this, but I will be giving a lecture at THE WALKER(!!) as part of the Design Lecture Series. It's Wed. and OddMart curated it and asked me. I'm fucking pumped to talk about Weirdpunk's design philosophy.

Back in the print mines after a long weekend

Okay gang, I'm no expert, but after two back to back indie horror book events I've seen some no brainer stuff that bears repeating for first timers and old heads alike:

I have digital Feeding the Wheel ARCs available on NetGalley and Edelweiss! If you are a reviewer / podcaster / influencer / celebrity chef / professional wrestler / Famke Janssen / exceptionally cute puppy and would like a link, shoot me a DM

If you, too, have issues with authority, please stay tuned. Tomorrow we have a little treat for y’all. 👀

This not a St Patrick’s Day cover of HORROR MOVIE but a signed (and yes green!) exclusive edition that will only be available at your favorite indie stores. Coming on Independent Bookstore Day 4/26/25

Just landed in Philadelphia after a whirlwind weekend at @ghoulish.bsky.social Book Fest. San Antonio rules, horror rules. If we hung out this weekend I love and appreciate you so much. Now I'm ready to eat, nap, and have my face melt when I open my work email

Treating myself to a wild vegan breakfast for my last full day in San Antonio

Airport beer before flying to San Antonio, this will be the official Pap goes to Ghoulish thread. See y'all soon!

Putting it out there: I want to go BIG with my vampire novel, COFFIN MOON. Want to review it? want me at your event or festival? On your podcast? At your bookclub or library? Hit me up! I can put you in touch with the right folks. Let's make it happen! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/760818...
