Happy pub day to this #ecohorror bug extravaganza by my dear friend and colleague, Lea Katarina Gobec. Both stories in here remind us that we are so terribly small in the vastness of nature. 🦋 🩸📚 books2read.com/u/m0Lo0P

The Substance (2024) (dir. Coralie Fargeat)

We're currently looking for ARC readers who are fans of #ecohorror & would like to learn what kinds of ravenous dangers lurk in a hidden Croatian national park & a primeval forest. This book is brimming with insects, oozing with decay, and hits hard with sadness. 🦋 🩸📚 shtriga.com/arcteamsignup/

The signups for the August sale are open! Click here to receive your invitation: www.subscribepage.io/NIS Click here to bookmark the sale page: indiebook.sale

For fans of: queer horror, found footage, folklore, and nightmarish hiking trips, my folk horror book The Lost Treasure Hunters and Other Tales of Folk Terrors is up for grabs for $/€.99. Today is the last day of the sale! 🌈📚 🩸📚

It's #Pride2025! To celebrate, may I present you with 4 thoroughly queer anthologies and a thoroughly gay short story collection that I never thought I'd get to write. To win an eBook copy of the latter, just fave and RT this post. I'll announce the ✨5✨ winners at the end of June. 🏳️‍🌈❤️🏳️‍⚧️📚💙

Did you know that Haunt is a queer-led press? We publish horror that doesn’t use harmful tropes in the representation of queer people. We want to celebrate horror queerness in all it’s gory glory! Why not use our current 30% discount (ends 11:59pm 15 June!) to treat yourself to some queer horror?

There's a lot of reasons to be angry right now, so we're smashing into Pride 2025 with a gang of radical queer writers and a brand new book. We're channeling our fury into a new collection of biting, blood-splattered stories at the cutting edge of fantasy, horror and science fiction.

Happy #PrideMonth to all our lovely readers, from the heart of the rainbow-strewn Batcave We (and our books) are pretty gay all year round... but rest assured, we'll be gaying it up extra hard these next 4 weeks Keep reading. Keep fighting. And above all... keep it queer 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🦇

My friends are doing a horror anthology about messed up deer. Get your copy in the kickstarter! 🩸📚 www.kickstarter.com/projects/mer...

Seriously Google? How does your "AI" get "but has also faced criticism for publishing AI-generated stories" from the countless news stories written about us NOT WANTING GENERATED STORIES and actively fighting against them. Oh wait, it's not actually intelligent, is it? Just bullshit all the way down

I'm dead 😆 we need more promo like this (also read the book, for the dog and bc it's great and a lot of fun)

🔥OUT NOW 🔥 A very happy book birthday to EVERY DARK CLOUD, an eco-horror novella about the beauty unearthed in the wake of disaster. Gorgeous cover by @carlydraws.bsky.social. Get it now from @ghostorchidpress.com & anywhere books are sold 🖤

Finished The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle by Steve Hugh Westenra - a weird, fun queer horror comedy that's just the right amount of angsty. And at one point gets super dark. The last 200ish pages were so intense I couldn't stop reading, and the ending is perfect. 🌈📚🩸 That would be book 2 done for #trr25

If you're looking for some #transhorror that's off the beaten path for the #transrightsreadathon, my queer horror comedy, The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle combines the atmosphere of Twin Peaks with a contemporary story about monstrosity & onlineness that's full of twists and turns! books2read.com/u/boB9YL

Friends of Change The light is doing me good ☀️ #art #animalart #fox #traditionalart

Me when it’s time for the #TransRightsReadathon

Just finished The Second Rebel by Linden A. Lewis. In time for #TransRightsReadathon! So one book down for day 1. Not bad 😄 (This book had me on edge! I absolutely recommend this trilogy for fans of space opera, spy shenanigans, rebellions, and women's rage narratives.) 📚🪐

Hello #TransRightsReadathon would you possibly like to read a book created by the two stupid hands of a real life trans man If so boy do I have an proposal for you store.tenebrouspress.com/products/fro...

Our ep with @hildur.bsky.social is now out, just in time for women in horror month! We had such a lovely time chatting about Icelandic sffh publishing, her books, translations, and differences in publishing. Thank you so much for your time, Hildur! 💙 📚🩸 open.spotify.com/episode/1OMn...

The Shape of Stones, the first short story I have ever written in English, is out today! 🥳

We couldn't wait! In the first of many announcements from the Batcave over the next few weeks, we're beyond excited to reveal the cover for GOOD FOR HER: tales tales of rage, revenge & retribution from some of the best female horror writers out there, with 100% of profits donated to Sisters Uncut

Since it's International Women's Day, and a bunch of white nationalist misogynists seem intent on making life miserable for the rest of us... can I interest anyone in Tradwife? Could be cathartic. It certainly was for me payhip.com/b/TDowG

The Shape of Stones is out next week!

It's READ AN EBOOK WEEK! And excitingly, we now have BOREAL: An Anthology of Taiga Horror available for ebook in the website shop! Now's the time to enjoy this collection of 22 stories all about the Taiga biome. Grab yours today! www.katherinesilvaauthor.com/shop/boreal-...

We're still investigating AMZ alternatives for Nefarious Bat's ebook distribution... but in the meantime, while we sort it out: several of my books (including Tradwife, Hummingbird & Saltblood) are now available on Kobo, for those who'd rather avoid the increasingly toxic Bezos Touch...

Happy pub day to messy snowed-in sapphics! 🥶 @obsessedmuch24.bsky.social has her first ever book out today and it's what she does best, a comedic sapphic horror. A Night to Slay For is an entertaining mystery and paranoid fever dream, check it out. 🌈📚🩸 books2read.com/u/bwXY2Z

Any werewolf lovers in search of Slavic fantasy or folk horror books drenched in Slavic mythology and folklore? I shared two folk tales and more stuff about Slavic werewolves, to showcase the inspiration behind my horror & fantasy books: #writing hauntednarratives.com/2025/02/14/s...

Love is in the air. And madness 💛 A GAME IN YELLOW releases in exactly 6 months from Saga! www.simonandschuster.com/books/A-Game...

And as a corollary, it would be really nice if reviewers didn’t keep calling adult books written by women YA. I lost count of the times NETTLE & BONE got described as YA. The heroine is THIRTY. I wrote it for adults! It is fine if teens want to read it, but it’s not YA and that is FINE.

I wrote a short story that will be published on @reactorsff.bsky.social in March. And just LOOK at the gorgeous artwork they commissioned for it! It’s by @deenasooteh.bsky.social and it’s so beautiful 😭

Dropping another book cover for you! THE WHISTLER by Nick Medina! If you read, Sisters of a Lost Nation and Indian Burial Ground, you'll be happy to know this new Gothic, paranormal horror about a man who...whistled at night...

How about taking in some of the VIBES you'll get from reading BOREAL? Everything from mist-filled glades, to frigid mountain tops... The aesthetic is about all of the grief and existentialism characters experience and how the BOREAL forest intersects with them. www.amazon.com/BOREAL-Antho...

I've been documenting stats and other things each day I'm working on my new novel, so now I have it in writing that after every bad day when it's so hard to find words, when I think I'm going to get stuck, the next day I have a great time writing. It's really helpful to stay on track.

Sharing the inspo behind my 🏳️‍🌈 Slavic fantasy novel. Let's talk about monstrous women from the rivers, luring people to drown them: hauntednarratives.com/2025/01/31/s...

If you sit down to write and for some reason still think that your work shouldn’t be “too gay” or “too political” or “too much about race” or whatever else, remember that motherfuckers are out here throwing up Nazi salutes. The time to go harder than ever is now.
