It's release day for WHY I LOVE HORROR 🤩 I'm thrilled to be part of this beautiful collection of essays edited by the wonderful @raforall.bsky.social on why we love this genre and what it means to us. What's the foundation of my horror love and my essay "The Giant Footprint of Horror"? Hmmm 😆

New on Fright Girl Summer: my recommended reads for #HispanicHeritageMonth! I enjoyed all of these books, and hope you do too. cc @vlatinalondon.bsky.social

Looking to get raptured but want a last-minute read? Staying behind and need a way to celebrate while your most racist relatives float away? I got ya covered with some spooky reads! Mad Days bit.ly/4lZImtq Never Leaving bit.ly/3Xu1HJz

It is the regretful duty of the estate of Michael Boulerice to inform the public about Michael's rapture. Details are still coming in, but at approximately 12:01 pm EST neighbors reported hearing a blast of angelic trumpets playing Don Henley's Boys of Summer. Moments later, Michael was gone

Keep an eye out, Beau’s Bishop Rider series will return!

I'm reading Haunted Ecologies by @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social, and "Mother's Wolves" is one of those stories that speaks right to my soul.

He does. Show Elford that you appreciate and reciprocate the love. Buy this treasure trove of weird and creepy. It costs less than a big boy cup of coffee from a gas station. And it's better for your insides.

$1.99 for 16 short stories, 19 drabbles, and 3 novelettes, all illustrated?! Yes. Because I love you. Amazon bit.ly/4lZImtq Bookshop bit.ly/41USpIQ

tag yourself I'm "EVERYTHING IS FINE" DOG

Bulkin is phenomenal

‪Thanks Gabino!‬ ‪I found out today that This House Isn’t Haunted But We Are is on the Stoker Award Reading List! So this is more of a good news share haha!‬ ‪https://horror.org/awards/currentreadinglist.php‬

Morning, Gabino. I have cut ties with my publisher. Long time coming, sure, but in the meantime these books very shortly will no longer be available. Get ‘em while you still can. #FridayReads www.bishopriderbooks.com

Thanks Gabino! Folks can get on THE EL wherever they stop for books. Happy #FridayReads! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/738830...

Spooky season is coming! Time for some spooky reads.

You too can be emotionally destroyed by this collection!

On my tbr list. Is it on yours?

Thanks, Gabino! ON COMICS AND GRIEF combines a look at the comic books from 1976 with creative nonfiction about the place of those comics in my childhood, memories of my mother, and writing about grief.

Thanks again!! I was just nominated for an award!!! bsky.app/profile/made...

The ebooks for my novels The Unkillable Frank Lightning and The Legend of Charlie Fish are both just $7.99 right now. I’d love help spreading the word and giving them both a boost! www.amazon.com/dp/B0F84FWVT...

When I was in high school, I read Clive Barker's Weaveworld and was forever changed. THE BETWEEN is my homage to Weaveworld. The 2nd half of The Between's duology is out next Tuesday! THE GARDEN OF BEFORE (killer title, eh?)

Cheers to all you who have picked up books of mine over these last few days. Me & the Big Guy will be back at some point, hopefully sooner rather than later, but I want you to know it’s been a ride. From a nobody to a slightly more known nobody, I’ve had the time of my life www.bishopriderbooks.com

Thanks Eryn! Great questions this week. For the #HorrorWritersChat first I wanna shout out @martinshannon.bsky.social @elfordalley.bsky.social and @michelleheller.bsky.social who are all making awesome stuff and you should follow them. Also, I have a new book out: books2read.com/u/mq2V06

Hey #horrorwriterschat what's up! It's me, T.L. Bodine, author of horror to break your heart (as @elfordalley.bsky.social put it). I'm too broke for an MS license so I roll with LibreOffice and a copy of Scrivener someone gifted me. I use Reedsy for free formatting. Did I mention I'm broke?

another benefit of publishing a book like @nadiabulkin.bsky.social's ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY (out now!) is you discover an incredible musician like Mitski (two novellas are titled after Mitski songs) & start obsessing over her albums. BURY ME AT MAKEOUT CREEK and PUBERTY 2 especially. wow wow wow

"Very, very few horror writers of the era take such an elegantly expansive, nihilistic approach to their stories, in which traditional meta-narratives are not reinforced but eroded by their exposure,"

Back at @gibsonsbookstore.bsky.social for more signing! If you want a personalized copy of FEEDING THE WHEEL, head to the link and if you've finished your homework and eaten your vegetables I'll maybe even draw a cool S in there for you gibsonsbookstore.com/book/9781639...

Because my youngest is getting better at imitating us over text, Katy and I sometimes have to verify each others identity.

My groovy house cover artist has permitted me to share these awesome sketches of main man John Frenzi! She has an Instagram account, but isn't into self-promo and has resisted me pushing her kickass artwork. But I don't care tonight. Bask in her nerdy radicality. www.instagram.com/mechanations

Bishop Rider’s saga will be out of print soon (but hopefully not for long), so grab a few while you can! What if the Punisher had John Kramer’s imagination?
