Delightful conversation with @jedediahberry.bsky.social at @dungeonbooks.bsky.social as part of the KILL ALL WIZARDS book tour! We got literary and geeky and a great time was had!

Buster Keaton didn't stand still while a two-ton housefront collapsed on top of him with a window cut out to barely clear his shoulders on each side so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

I make my @ancillaryreviewofbooks.org debut this week with a review of Francis Spufford's Nonesuch, a story about magic in WWII London that remains fascinated with the war (and its most esoteric corners) while telling a rollicking fantasy tale. ancillaryreviewofbooks.org/2026/06/17/l...

Welcome, human, to your recycling. Prepare to descend into the vat—we'll take care of the rest.

Eat the Rich, Punch Nazis, and Kill All Wizards

In addition to the lovely-looking cocktail, I'm grateful for this review from someone who really knows the sword & sorcery genre and understands what I'm getting up to with it. Thank you, @eliaseells.bsky.social!

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about KILL ALL WIZARDS by Jedediah Berry. A sword and sorcery novella of vengeance, brutal blades, and elegantly appointed tearooms, this book is uproarious: clever, charming, and utterly entrancing. Our drink is a frosty freezy Gotchimus!

I got to read this ages ago and it's SO good. Clever, funny, strange. Highly recommended and out today!

KILL ALL WIZARDS is OUT and reportedly GADDING ABOUT TOWN, sword in hand. If you encounter this knave, consider yourself FOREWARNED: 🫖 Highly caffeinated 💀 The cut direct 📖 Opinionated narrator ⚔️ Fits of barbaric rage Wizards especially should approach with caution. thirdarchive.net#killallwizards

Today is the day! Available wherever fine books are sold—and I'm very happy to sign and personalize copies ordered from my local indie, Book Moon Books: www.bookmoonbooks.com/item/085w9zr...

I didn't know about the endpapers until the first time I held the book in my hand, and I was so surprised and delighted :)

Happy Bloomsday to all who celebrate!! ULYSSES was my grandfather’s favorite novel, & for many years it was mine, & I still find great joy in it. No book (imho) better captures the messy magnificence that is a city: the squalor & the beauty, the teeming multitude of bravely struggling souls.

HAPPY PUB DAY to @jedediahberry.bsky.social! KILL ALL WIZARDS IS OUT IN THE WORLD, GET KILLING EVERYBODY

I love Tor's novella series, and this is one of my favorites so far. All hail the novella! And a reminder, I'm engaged in friendly battle with Jed tomorrow night at 8 PM at Visions Video in Northampton, MA. I'll be wearing my finest sorcerous garb, and there will be arcane prizes.

Had been a very long time since I'd shot with film, but I'm enjoying messing around with this little half-frame camera. (The three-year-old took the photo of me.) #ektarh35

The thing about classic Sword and Sorcery is that it's super queer if you squint. The thing about SHATTER THE SUN is you don't have to squint. www.neonhemlock.com/shatter-the-...

As delighted by this video as I was by the book in question. KILL ALL WIZARDS is the kind of fun we desperately need these days and @jedediahberry.bsky.social ~delivers~ (as this video will no doubt convince you) — read it! and if you're in the HV, come see him next month at Rough Draft!

I went into the woods with a sword, and I got a little personal about why I wrote Kill All Wizards. I hope that jogger is doing OK.

I think I've found the only legitimate non-disability use of meta glasses, which is the instagram account of this guy who walks around Madrid saying "gimme gimme gimme," and if someone gives him their hands, he spins them around in the air as they screech with laughter.
