ENTER THE AGE OF CORROR

The seas have risen, the coral is near, the jellyfish are flying, REEF MIND IS HERE🪸💀 It's Release Day for @hazelzorn.bsky.social's incredible Eco-Body-Horror novella! The apocalypse is here and it's more colorful than ever. Out now at indie bookstores & here: store.tenebrouspress.com

Happy book birthday to @hazelzorn.bsky.social too! Here's what I had to say: “An unsettling novella with so many ways to get under your skin: Cosmic Horror, Body Horror, but also the growing 21st-century Horror that if the oceans we’ve harmed rose up against us, we would deserve it." 1/2

"With prose as deceptively porous as coral, REEF MIND imagines that while it might already be too late for us to stop climate change, it’s not too late for the climate to change us. Zorn is a new voice in Weird Horror worth keeping a close eye on.” Available from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social now!

Fatigue level today: grabbed my coffee cup, thought "i'll just top up on top of what's left in the cup so I don't waste it", topped it up, drank most of it, glanced on my desk, found today's half-drunk coffee cup, realized I just topped up a cup from (?) yesterday? Let's go with yesterday

They say "use AI!" now, "it'll make your art, summarize your books, respond to you", but at the end of your life, when you think "I wish I had taken the time to make art. I wish I had read books. I wish I had listened to people." they will not be there to give you back the life you wish you'd lived

Just a couple cuties discovering the marvels of beanbag chairs in the great outdoors

Still thinking about this incredible foreward I believed in every one of these stories when I chose them, and it was incredible to see that someone I admire as much as @alexwoodroe.com believes in them too #ChoicesAnthology

We discuss the too-often bland and safe nature of science fiction and fantasy before diving in to a work that's anything but, "One Hand to Hold, One Hand to Carve"! Body horror and familial obsession mix in this arresting and clever novella about a man sawed in half! soundcloud.com/death-senten...

In three days, the surface world loses🪸💀 REEF MIND by @hazelzorn.bsky.social store.tenebrouspress.com

Not qt-ing because this is absolutely *not* a counterargument and the different perspectives are valid and valuable but... Today I learned that some people *don't* think of their brain as a separate entity to their self? And *don't* observe it making choices that don't represent them? Weird

I don't think I've ever pre-ordered a book. I'm pre-ordering this one. Looks amazing.

Banger! Banger! Banger!

So very excited for this book. I had a sneak peek of this journey in an early draft, and Alex captured something really, really cool with The Night Ship!

SO excited about this one…

This sounds like it could be an interesting read for sure... #booksky

get your filthy paws on alex's book!

Soon, The Night Ship is touching down, and I need your help. As an editor, the task below the bottom of the list is always promoting my own work, even though it means so very much to me. So if you think you'd like to review this, or blurb it, or heck, catapult a copy at your enemies? Hit me up.

When the local grill guy aims for "inspirational" and lands squarely on "threatening"

Help I accidentally fell in love with a cheesy American pop song and they're threatening to revoke my Jaded Eastern European Club membership

Who needs to be told to go work on their manuscript today

I wonder where the dog went

Having the very serious conversation today that goes "if I go first, this is the song I want you to play when you're carrying my casket", what's yours?

There's a lot of sentiment online that goes "the moment you posted that, you asked for/invited people's opinions" and no babes. No. Live your life free of the obligation to react to everything you see. Treat you opinions like they're valuable and maybe one day they'll become it
