PAPERBACK COMING

For years, they said it was just a legend...but now it's been spotted in the wild. ENCOUNTERS with cryptids will be out in paperback on 4/24/26. Fire up the trailcams, watch the skies, stay out of the woods. It's coming... 👻🖤 www.amazon.com/dp/B0G4BLN1GR

🧵 1/2 As Easter approaches, and our minds turn to chocolate, it's worth remembering that #Nestle doesn't think that access to water is a human right, that they've been caught using child labor (as recently as 2021). They sell baby products designed to addict newborns...

It warms my cold heart to see there's still interest in this old, unholy tome!

No. You. May. Not. Use. Any. Part. Of. ENCOUNTERS with cryptids. To. Train. Your. Fucking. AI. Thank you. Now, take your AI and off you fuck 🖤.

REVIEW: 17 stories of chilling encounters with the preternatural! If you like reading creepy horror anthologies this one’s for you. I loved it. My favorite stories were: ‘Take Me To the River’ The Girl Who Counted Horns’ ‘Scarpion Jack’ and ‘When the Snow Comes!’ #bookreview #ARC

I've been so busy with the release of ENCOUNTERS that I haven't had a chance to share the other really cool thing that happened to me this week. A huge thank you to @jonezyboy.bsky.social for including REMAINS in this awesome list of top haunted house novels! 👻 Check out the full list below ⬇️👻🏡⬇️

If you're a fan of the cover artwork for ENCOUNTERS with cryptids (www.amazon.com/dp/B0G4BLN1GR ), then you're a fan of the artwork of Alan Lastufka @alandistro.bsky.social. Alan also created the awesome cover artwork for FOUND2 📼. So. Damn. Good. Thanks, Alan! 🖤

Found this giveaway lying on the grass in my neighborhood. I'm taking it as a good omen. 🍀 👣 🦕 🦑 👽 @andrewcull.bsky.social @slimyswampghost.bsky.social

Woke up this morning to find ENCOUNTERS charting at #17 in Horror Collections and Anthologies on Amazon! Absolutely stoked with that! Thanks so much to everyone who's picked up a copy so far! 👻🖤 www.amazon.com/dp/B0G4BLN1GR

My first ever proper publication is out 🥹 A paperback version should be announced in the coming weeks, and I can't believe I'll soon have a book with my name in it that I can hold in my hands. Thanks for everyone who pre-ordered, or plan to get it on physical release. I really hope you like it!

Alan did such a fantastic job of the cover for ENCOUNTERS! This is the second time he's turned my terrible scribbles into magic. Thanks, Alan!

Out today! You can find my story "The Beast of Old Blodgett Road" inside, among other excellent stories. Many thanks to Andy and Trevor for all their hard work on this book and for being such great editors to work with!

Bookmail (ebook version): Encounters With Cryptids from Trevor Henderson, Andrew Cull, and a whole slew of writers I like.

So delighted to be a part of this anthology! Happy Friday the 13th and book birthday 🎉 📕 🎂 #cryptid #folkhorror #horrorfiction #monsters

CRYPTIDS ARE COMING

Collaborated with @andrewcull.bsky.social on a little cryptid story in this, and helped select the stories! There are some incredible monster gems in here, let me tell you.

Tomorrow, you can finally get your hands on ENCOUNTERS with cryptids!! So why not pre-order it today?? You'll get to meet the wicked La Lechuza in my short story "A Witch in Robstown," a tale of desperation, owls, and a mother's love.

Only a few days left to pre-order ENCOUNTERS! Early readers are loving our collection of cryptid creature features! Get your copy here www.amazon.com/dp/B0G4BLN1GR Featuring stories by @slimyswampghost.bsky.social @ttmaddenwrites.bsky.social @rlmeza.bsky.social @notmargopecha.bsky.social and more!

Emily Dickinson, Virginia Woolf, William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sylvia Plath, Kurt Vonnegut, Jane Austen, and Edgar Allan Poe... Guess what? They all loved an em dash, and not one of them was using chatbots. Em dashes don't mean AI use, GTFO with that dumb idea.

Thanks so much to all of you who've emailed. We'll be sending out ARCs towards the end of this week 🖤

💙📚🩸 WHILE I WAS GONE is @andrewcull.bsky.social's latest collection and these unsettling stories again showcase the scope of his imagination, his deft hand, and his unique voice for crafting cinematic, eerie, disconcerting tales across the spectrum of what the Horror genre can encompass. #MSReview

I'll get back to posting about books very soon, I promise. But, right now, I'm fuming about Isaac Herzog's visit to Australia. @albomp.bsky.social: What were you thinking? How on earth was this visit meant to bring unity or healing?

If you have to ban protesting when you invite someone to visit, you're probably not going to be 'bringing unity' by inviting them. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

COMING SOON: “The Reek from Pelton Creek” (do not swim!) pre-order your ENCOUNTERS with cryptids now (or else!) cryptids are being released Friday the 13th in March (look out!)

Thrilled to be part of ENCOUNTERS WITH CRYPTIDS, edited by Trevor Henderson & Andrew Cull! My story "Scrapiron Jack" joins a terrifying lineup of cryptid horrors. Releases Friday the 13th of March! Preorders open! 👣 🐟 🦑 🛸

Very excited for this. That TOC is stacked with incredible writers.

The anthology I'm in is up for pre-order 🥰 A story featuring correct spelling of the word "torsos," without an extra E. Because who would do that? A person who while trying to turn off all AI functions, turned off spellcheck too? Leading to a mortifying editors note? Not me. You can't prove it.

Trust me, you've never encountered monsters like these... ENCOUNTERS with cryptids is out Friday 13th March '26. Pre-order now: www.amazon.com/dp/B0G4BLN1GR

Holy sh*t, the amount of petitions I've signed in the past week: climate change, oil and gas lobbies, unlawful youth detention, tax the f*cking rich, war criminals visiting Australia. Come the f*ck on, politicians. We're not blind, and we're not stupid. You need to do better 🖤

Touch the abyss, friends.

If you need an escape, SHITSHOW might give you a few hours of relief. Love you. Stay safe.

As y'all may remember, whenever I take a break, I love to leave a signed book in the place where we stayed. This time, I left a copy of my recent collection, WHILE I WAS GONE. I'm not going to say exactly where I left the book...but if you're staying in Philip Island, you might find a surprise!

18. Found footage/found document/recorded horror is an underrepresented genre in text and while @andrewcull.bsky.social did the Lord's work for two straight volumes I need me some more mixed format/weird broadcast horror in my life. Scripts, video guides, anything and everything.

I'm not saying that @writelikeashark.bsky.social‬'s latest is haunted...but never have I had a book disappear on me so often. Leave it on the nightstand at night...next morning: gone. On the coffee table...turn around: gone. Turned up in the craziest of places, too. www.amazon.com/dp/173836092X 👻
