Huzzah!

Give me a ton of work to do tomorrow, and grab some amazing books (and merch and cute stickers) at a very crazy discount! Save books from the returns department at distribution! Treat yourself! Etc! Thanks already to everyone who ordered because it made me feel less guilty about the break 🖤🖤🖤

2025 Recap & 2026 Goals is up on the Blog! www.scribblezilla.ca/post/taking-... I always get reflective around the New Year, so I ramble about the good, the ugly, and how to move forward. Then I made a little FUCK OFF merch to say goodbye to the past half a decade which threatened to take us out.

It’s the Little Ghosts’ annual NO RETURNS SALE! The Little Ghosts are hibernating from Jan. 1-4th & online is our biggest sale of the year! Visit our website and look for the January Sale Category - sale items are 45%-65% off, 10% off everything. www.littleghostsbooks.com/shop/january...

Me, waking up this morning, to 2026:

Can confirm. The best Cosmic Horror is also Microscopic Horror. Check out Taff's collection from @badhandbooks.bsky.social www.amazon.com/All-Stars-Di...

BOXING DAY MERCH DROP! Surprise! New No Gods No Billionaires Longsleeve Shirt available now. Designed and printed in house, small run based on demand. Excuse the silly photoshoot, as Chris mostly giggled at Jay the whole time. Thanks for being a great model @jkrawczyk.bsky.social 🖤👻

In the past couple months, designed and printed two new long sleeve shirts for @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social Hope to make fun pieces that I’d be happy to wear, and was pretty pleased with how it these turned out. Hand printing sleeves is tricky! But I think worth the effort. 🖤👻

I wrote a small Christmas Horror for the blog! Hope you all have a very cozy time, even when you receive a cursed object as a gift. 🖤 www.scribblezilla.ca/post/the-chr...

Second blog post is up! I think that art (writing, painting, acting, film) teaches patience, empathy, discipline. I think creative practice can create community and change the world. Maybe that’s why oligarchs are so desperate to crush it! Be the resistance: www.scribblezilla.ca/post/make-we...

Rats hold hands and dance every time I post a new story or two

I'm back at The Lineup with my biggest list yet: the Best Horror Books of 2025! So many fantastic horror books this year! 🖤☠️😱 the-line-up.com/best-horror-...

Social media is a hellscape, every tech company is evil, so we are back to blogging like it’s the early 2000s! Just an intro to being a terrible entrepreneur, looking back on my first shop, and a little rant about the costs of everything. Y’know, light stuff. www.scribblezilla.ca/blog

Peeking out of my space to let folks know that I still have a little room for cartoon avatar & pet portrait commissions before the holidays, and am open for Book Cover projects! You can put eyeballs on the covers I’ve done here and see if the style suits you: www.scribblezilla.ca/portfolio-co...

Our silly little newsletter is up! Phi intros the team, @kzknowles.bsky.social talks all ages horror, @jkrawczyk.bsky.social dishes on writing multiple projects at once, and @chrisshapedghost.bsky.social has a shop local guide. Read it here: littleghostsbooks.substack.com/p/november-2... 🖤👻📚

Did a couple of pet portraits for a pal today. Kato, his big smiley guy, was a pleasure to know for all of his 14yrs. We don’t deserve dogs, but you would never know it from all the love they give us 🖤

It’s not often that I carve out time for personal projects but this little zine has been stuck in my brain for months and months and needs to come out.

A very happy WET SCREAMS book launch at Hopeless Romantic Bookstore in Totonto! We had costumes, merch, authors signing books, a little dancing, and a lot of giggling. Thanks so much to everyone who came out! If only we could have teleported in @garbagesauce.bsky.social WET SCREAMS is out Nov. 1!

Having a big juicy launch party for WET SCREAMS at Hopeless Romantic Books on Queen West in Toronto. That’s right!

Hell yeah! @garbagesauce.bsky.social & I edited this big ol’ collection of monster smut y’all! What an honour to gasp, bite my lip, and fan myself to these twenty pieces of glorious erotica by some insanely talented writers. A fucking treat to work on, out Nov. 1st from Little Ghosts Books! 😈💦🔥🍑🍆

Did a little screenprinting last night for a short run of merch that will be available at a few of the Little Ghosts PopUps we’ll be at in the next 8 weeks. Gunna be a busy season!

If you see this, post a video game that transports you to your childhood.

This is gunna rip 🖤

My legacy: Biblically Accurate Pigeon Now a sticker! Get yours here: www.littleghostsbooks.com/product/stic...

Paintover

In other sticker news, Biblically Accurate Pigeon.

Saw Superman. Had to make some stickers about it. 💙

Every now and then I see pictures after an event and think. I wish I could send this to past Chris. Then he would know that, even though so much of the ride is painful, there would be moments like this to make it less heavy. Bi-weekly life drawing is cool. 💜
