I’m going to have to stop listening to the Lithium station on Sirius. They keep playing “Lump” and now It’s stuck It’s stuck It’s stuck It’s in my head

You should check out Chris’s books, but I also think this image may be far more useful than he thought

Summer in the House of the Departed comes out in just a few days. It’s a very personal book for me, and I think one of the best things I’ve written. I’m grateful for anyone who preorders or helps spread the word. 😀 psychopomp.com/product/summ...

This is the realistic aspect of THE YOUNG ONES: we all have a roommate we only glimpse from time to time—crouching low, face obscured—out of the corner of our eye.

I keep saying I'm done with superhero movies, and I keep getting pulled back in. Took the kids to see Superman, and damned if it wasn't pretty great. Krypto! The squirrel! Nathon Fillion! Wendell Pierce!

A quick reminder that my 2019 story in Daily SF (r.i.p.) was about a certain superhero being an immigrant under a hostile administration web.archive.org/web/20200806...

Just tore through the second half of @sgj.bsky.social’s THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER, and yeah, this just might be my new favorite vampire novel. My heart is full.

Walked with the kids to the hill where the army fort abuts the country club, to watch the rich folks’ fireworks in the drizzle from the wrong side of the fence
