The dead don’t rest easy. They bleed power. Forrest Molson has found Athanasia Cemetery’s darkest secret, and she’s ready to use it. But power is an addiction, and some secrets should stay buried. ATHANASIA — by Daniel Kraus & Dani. 🩸🦸‍♂️ #VaultComics #HorrorComics

Haha everyone relax, I’ve seen this! And it’s awesome!

It appears @danielkraus.com writes for The Onion now.

I regularly call Dan Chaon my favorite living author. AND I REGULARLY MEAN IT.

What happens when superheroes die but their power lingers? In our latest “Notes On” blog, Daniel Kraus breaks down the inspirations, themes, and creative process behind ATHANASIA. Read it here 👉 https://blog.vaultcomics.com/notes-on-athanasia/ On sale October 7.

Can you even imagine?

"HAGEMANN MIGHT BE THE BEST HORROR WRITER IN AMERICA." — @danielkraus.com, after reading Jess Hagemann's upcoming novel MOTHER-EATING, which you can pre-order signed & personalized copies of through our webstore: ghoulish.rip/product/moth... Hell yes. Fuck yes, even.

Every artist I’ve ever known has this itch to create that won’t go away until they create. They have to do it. It’s why I know the “finally, someone like me can make art” AI users are full of shit. What they really mean is “finally, a way to get social media likes without hard work”.

And it frees up the brain to go WILD with the prose.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

Horror folks, it's the middle of September, and the Stoker Recommended Reading List is looking extremely small. If you're a member of the HWA, go recommend something you've read that you loved! horror.org/awards/curre...

Got it! Thanks man - super excited to read it!

Pay The Piper by George A. Romero and Daniel Kraus #horror #horrornovel #horrorsky #booksky youtube.com/shorts/V4-Gs...

It's September so it's time for my annual reread and recommendation of The Autumnal from @thevaultcomics.bsky.social! Written by @danielkraus.com with art by @chrisshehanart.bsky.social it's one of my all time favourite horror comics with such a creepy story and stunning autumnal art! Go read it!

A couple great gifts just magically showed up in the mail! Beauties from @toddkeisling.com and @angelaslatter.bsky.social!

"Angel Down" is a book where the whole book is a single sentence about a soldier in WWII who is sent in to find a screaming fallen soldier, to put him out of his misery, but he instead finds a fallen angel. I couldn't grok pulling off a whole novel in a single sentence but Daniel Kraus does it.

Just woke up from a social media pause and the first thing I see is an incredible footage of a sperm whale casually cruising with a giant squid in its mouth ?? 🦑 🌊 🌿

With a heavy heart, I return Whalefall by Daniel Kraus to the library. I’ll never stop thinking about it. Haven’t had a new favorite book since Artemis Fowl back in middle school. Haven’t read a book twice in a row since Malice in high school. This is my Torah. I will never read a better book.

What happens when the dead superheroes under your care bleed power into the soil… and you can’t resist digging it up? 🪦⚡ ATHANASIA is a dark new graphic novel from Daniel Kraus & Dani. A superhero story through the darkest lens. #Comics #Athanasia #VaultComics

What do you do when the world around you is falling apart, there’s so much violence and you have to stop doomscrolling for your mental health? Read @danielkraus.com Angel Down of course. Escape from the real world into an insane & insanely brutal story. What a tough, haunting, but beautiful read.

I’m gonna miss the mass market size of books so much

My approach to life, and writing

An attempt to keep moving forward. Personal work- 2025

Read some books recently by @danielkraus.com, @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social, @brianmcwriter.bsky.social, and Emily Brontë (I don’t think she’s on BlueSky). open.substack.com/pub/joshlink...

The shot from the Fabelmans is everything. Projector cord / umbilical cord.

"It's a problem with my books... And that's not going to change." - @danielkraus.com in last night's @novelnightmares.bsky.social meet-up, on defining a genre for Angel Down.

This is a real shot in the dark, but does anyone know people at Numero Group? I have access to a totally hidden/forgotten music scene that is begging for a Numero release.

Listening to the amazing @danielkraus.com discuss Angel Down with the @novelnightmares.bsky.social book club while my son plays the Jaws and Halloween themes on the piano in the background. If this isn't horror heaven, I don't know what is. 🖤 #booksky

Rewatching SUSPIRIA for the umpteenth time, and it occurs to me that Jessica Harper is essentially giving a “sole human actor in a Muppet movie” performance.

Finally able to sit down and properly devour Angel Down and I am neither the first nor only person to point out the obvious here but God *damn* @danielkraus.com can write.

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

and he posts his current read by @danielkraus.com because he knows this is something people do on the Internet. and beside that, this book is a hell of a ride.

First I read WHALEFALL, then PAY THE PIPER, then THE GHOST THAT ATE US, and now ANGEL DOWN. I gotta tell you… @danielkraus.com is moving up my list of favorite authors like:

Jokes inspired by @danielkraus.com ANGEL DOWN: I’m really powering through this book. I started it this morning and I’m only one sentence from finishing! I was so tired last night I couldn’t even finish one sentence before I nodded off. The abridged version should be called a reduced sentence.

Our Harlequin Summer Reads list is up and I've got a couple of titles from this summer that I highly recommend: Mayra by Nicky Gonzalez and probably my fave book of the year so far: Angel Down by Daniel Kraus. www.writeforharlequin.com/what-were-re...

Off to see our whale one last time. 🐳🩵

Check out this delightful bouquet of facts about the vasty deeps, and for a vertiginously vivid evocation of the Monterey Canyon experience, check out Daniel Kraus's amazing WHALEFALL—soon to be a major motion picture!—in which a diver gets et by a sperm whale, and then things get weird. VHRRI¹!

Farewell to the CREEPSHOW series! Here’s @ericjedelstein.bsky.social & “Cloggie” from one of the episodes I wrote, “Pipe Screams,” directed by @thejoelynch.bsky.social. (Not pictured: the brilliant @barbaracrampton.bsky.social!!) CREEPSHOW FOREVER!!!

Next time you use ChatGPT, remeber that people are losing access to drinking water for you not to google something.

Catbus is right! I don’t remember the last time I read a list like this and added so many films to my queue.

@danielkraus.com Mr. Kraus, I still have a few hours left to read but I had to tell you thank you. Never have I read anything like Whalefall. I’m spellbound sir, thank you.
