Quite eyecatching, eh? What a cover for MONSTROUS ANGELS, an anthology of divine horror coming in October! I'm thrilled my short story "Give Me Wings" is included. Read about shunned filmmaker Arlo Pearson—through his discovered letters—traveling to Armenia in search of a mystical, musical monk!

A passerby commented "Nice company!" and she ain't wrong.

Mr. Bones this morning spurring on my new story!

Ayooooooooo! (yeeeeeeees in English)

🔥🔥🔥

ICYMI: My latest tale of corporate horror, “The Swivel” is online now. Big thanks to A Thin Slice of Anxiety for pubbing: bit.ly/4prHwIH

Tomorrow, this comes out!

Happy Hobbit Day to all who celebrate!

It's Stephen King's birthday today. It's Armenian Independence Day today. Oho! to be an Armenian Stephen King fan today!

Have you added my creepy short story collection, The Dead Spot, to your spooky season TBR yet? 🎃 Available in KU, ebook, audio, and paperback! linktr.ee/angelasylvaine

I did whatchya said, Steve.

@keithrosson.bsky.social COFFIN MOON was superb, a two day blistering read. "Cooking blood" was especially effective. Loved all of it, man. What's next??

After a hard morning on the couch, Zelda has moved to her mattress in order to decompress.

Coffin Moon is out today. Thanks to everyone that's reviewed the book, preordered it, told their friends about it. We had a sold out event at Hollywood Theatre last night, and Broadway Books sold every single copy of Coffin Moon they'd brought. I'm so lucky. Thank you all.

Finished! I say it’s pretty damn good.

Reading HANSEL AND GRETEL by @stephenking.bsky.social to my son tonight — the boy's first foray into King — and I exclaimed "Woooah!" at a certain Dark Tower tinged moment. Got goosebumps. @talkscaredpod.bsky.social and @natcassidy.bsky.social would very much appreciate it, I think.

75 pages into reading my novel for the first time and hey it ain’t bad!

And all comers are greeted by this Constant Reader. He’s partial to SKELETON CREW, @stephenking.bsky.social.

Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings re-make, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:

Lawn covered in Halloween decorations? You bet.

Explaining Tolkien’s legendarium to my grandma — in Armenian — while my son watched “The Hobbit” was a delightful Sunday evening treat.

Writers, keep writing. Do not buy into the hype train telling you your job will be replaced in a few years. Those using AI are literally atrophying their brains ability to be creative. The future will need your words, your creativity, to function well. publichealthpolicyjournal.com/mit-study-fi...

@chuckwendig.bsky.social “Grand Junction” was excellent! Leaf did not forget the face of his father.

I can’t even... My rights over my own body and my daughter’s are dwindling. As are the rights/safety of my gender queer child. Then there are the other horrors/human rights violations all over the world. Why are we even considering treating AI as human when we can’t treat each other as human?

Thanks as ever, Gabino! Got my first novel, FEAST OF THE PALE LEVIATHAN, coming out next Tuesday! Nautical body horror, kaiju Hobbes' Leviathan goodness. Belly of the beast horror turns into an astral war against the cult of New Atlantis. Here's one way to snag it: bookshop.org/p/books/feas...

@natcassidy.bsky.social man, I loved your story in the antho! Such a creative and refreshing way to step back onto the path of a beam! And what fun walk-ins.

The ToC for this thing is dynamite. This anthology needs to see the light of day. Help contribute to make it a reality—if you can.

Somehow, somehow, asleep me twisted his ankle.

Is it really vacation if you don’t watch Forensic Files in the hotel before dinner?

@danielkraus.com hey! ANGEL DOWN is fantastic. Thanks for writing it. Couldn’t help but make lots of Nick Cave connections. Is that just me or was there some inspiration?

What a lovely write up for SILK & SINEW, available at @badhandbooks.bsky.social! Thanks so much to @vanessafogg.bsky.social for her kind words about my story.

Love this one! Another Boyler from Andy.

Haven't written much since finishing the novel, though summer has been busy and fulfilling! A few short stories coming out in the final months of 2025, second novel ideas brewing, and shooting a scene-for-scene remake of THE LION KING (using toys) at my son's behest. How's everyone else out there?

Me and my book project

Contract signed! My epistolary short story "Give Me Wings" will be featured in the Monstrous Angels anthology edited by @arwyns.bsky.social! It's the 1950s and an ostracized filmmaker ventures from LA to Armenia in order to make a movie about a musical monk only to unearth mysteries millennia old.

This is big, friends.

My short story "Chakatagir" is in this latest anthology from Bag of Bones Press, about a young Armenian girl defying fate after her brother's funeral, refusing tradition and blazing a new way. Thanks to @sjtownend.bsky.social and @markpeters.bsky.social for their wonderful work.

I have a new poem out in @thecosmicbgr.bsky.social! “Toba Catastrophe Theory” is one of the first spec poems I wrote and still has one of my favorite lines. So happy to see another magazine publishing spec poetry! www.thecosmicbackground.com/poetry/angel...

Writing a book: hard Getting a book published: harder Selling books: hardest Selling new/revamped editions of books: hard enough to crush diamonds

Skin has thickened considerably over years of filmmaking and prose writing but damn I just got a personal rejection that found a chink in my armor.

My son received the Book Bandit Award at his kindergarten party for his “love of reading” and I’m a damn proud papa.

the "rise" of AI is simply a shinier, more profitable way for people to burn books

Hot dog! My Barnes & Noble has 3 copies of SILK & SINEW on the shelves… just below @stephenking.bsky.social! Big ups to @badhandbooks.bsky.social for making this happen. And my son was very kind and patient and happy about this hoopla but finally he asked, “Can we go look at the DVDs now?”
