Can't wait to read some new work by familiar folks, but also to dig into a bunch of new-to-me authors. I'm thrilled to have my own work included with this group. Gonna be a rad year for Weird fiction 💀💜🤘

May as well give it a go. Win some cash. A couple hundred could buy a lot of fiction for friends n loved ones this season!

The official release date for the Enter Here anthology is December 2nd! Lots of unique takes on doors n portals...hope you're ready to walk through 'em! @cjsubko.bsky.social & @mstevensonbooks.bsky.social put together a hell of anthology!

Finished reading two books yesterday and told myself I was too tired to start a new book. Let's play some games. Then proceeded to fire up Myst.

I don't really believe that short fiction is any easier to write than long-form, but writing short fiction is proving to pull my ass out of this slump. Even if nothing sticks, I'm glad it's getting me writing again.

She’s back! But just for a few days. Order your copy of Nineteen Little Stab Wounds at: dreadstonepress.com/product-cate... Available today through November 30. All sales will be donated to Transgender Law Center. 1/6

Give me a themed collection like this any day of the week. Bummed I have to wait until 2027 for this thing. Really exciting stuff @michaelboulerice.bsky.social - congratulations on the announcement!

Book mail rules. Although, I'm afraid this is my last subscription box for the year. Good thing @tenebrouspress.bsky.social will be opening their 2026 subscription soon. Stay weird n be kind out there (well, except to fascists and terfs n shit. Fuck em) 💀💜🤘

If ya want a chance to check out Alex's new one, look no further! Stick out your thumb or gams and hitchhike on The Night Ship 👍🦵

Had some banging soup for lunch, which means my mustache also smells like soup.

Been struggling to get a long form project off the ground, so I've been messing with some short stories. No intended market. Just writing because it's fun. Sometimes I forget that. I hope y'all don't.

2 ongoing convos are dovetailing rn: 1. a holiday shopping $ blackout aimed at big business; 2. worry over small presses closing or paring down. Let's talk direct action: YOU CAN DO BOTH😀 IT'S VITAL TO SUPPORT indie pubs that encourage risk & diversity. Here's a 🧵 of em you can support directly:

Gods below & above, do we feel seen by this passage or what🖤☠️

I admittedly would love a Cummie. I have a handful of awards eligible stories this year if you feel so inclined. Perhaps with y'all's recommendations and a...stroke of luck, I can achieve it... I appreciate any and all consideration! 💜🤘💀

I have a blog on my website that has been neglected for...almost two years, but hey! Guess who wrote a new entry? Hope you like lists 😅 But hey, give it a go. In all seriousness, I'm going to make an effort to be more consistent with this thing. www.michaelbettendorfwrites.com/blog/november-19-2025

Go Jennifer! Look at all those stories ready to be nominated!

The Abyss got Bobby. He's doing fine, though, because even if Hank thinks this boy ain't right, the Abyss knows the truth...that he is right. He is good. He is trve. He is who he needs to be. Embrace the Abyss, Bobby...it's not so bad.

The release of Alex's new book isn't too far off!

Locus. Stoker. Nebula. Uhhh...the other big ones, but also the Cummies 👀💦 @deadlanguagespod.bsky.social

I read this bad boy. Was it performative? Who knoooows?!

What is that feeling? You've felt it before. A visceral tug, threatening to fragment every bit of your being. A desire to performatively read what you please. Attention-starved Others judge you while you mind your goddamn business. It doesn't bother you. You've given into the abyss, and it is trve.

If you're around Lincoln this weekend, swing by the inaugural Nerd Fest. I'll be hanging with @anthonyengebretson.bsky.social, slinging some @tenebrouspress.bsky.social books, including TRVE CVLT by yours trvly. #LNK www.lincolnnerdfest.com

When I worked at Target over a decade ago, I was working a shift, sick as shit, but couldn't afford to take time off (they kept me at 38-39 hours so I couldn't get benefits). Our head store manager saw me and said, "you should try to look happier."

Had an excellent time at Barnes & Noble Southpointe in #LNK talking horror, writing, our anti-AI sentiments. They are such wonderful hosts and local authors are very fortunate to have one of our B&N locations not only support, but openly advocate for us. Shout-out to Ally. You're gem and a real one.

Hails to The Line-Up! They agree that @rascalhartley.bsky.social's DEAR STUPID PENPAL is a must-read. This unique blend of sci-fi, cosmic horror, buddy comedy & romance is one of the best things you'll read all...ever. Out next Tuesday, order now here: store.tenebrouspress.com

I'll be hanging with a bunch of local authors tomorrow and will be doing a panel where I get to chat writing, horror, and the stuff. TRVE CVLT continues to lurk, luring folks into the abyss. Thank you to everyone who has been on the journey with me. 💀💜🤘 See ya tomorrow #LNK at Barnes & Noble south.

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

💚🤘🚬

Yeah, we're doing this shit. 🤎🤘🐍

If you're around Lincoln, NE swing by the Southpointe Barnes & Noble this Saturday from 11-4 for this year's author fest. There will be a bunch of us hanging out. I'll be doing a horror/thriller panel at 3. #LNK

Whoooo! Mark your calendars! Only a week away ❤️‍🔥

This sounds awesome! If you're around, go out and hang with cool folks for a good cause! 💀💚🤘
