I'm getting ready to send out my newsletter for this very spooky month, so this is a good time to remind everyone that yes, I have a newsletter! And you can sign up to receive super rad updates in the comfort of your own email! 😊🦇🖤 mailchi.mp/310f49063ff8...

We're getting ready to read through Lost in the Dark and Other Excursions on the John Langan Subreddit. If you're interested in doing a write-up on one of the stories (doesn't have to be long), let me know.

New Pulp for your reading pleasure.

I suspect something weird is happening in this that makes it “not just another movie novelization,” and that’s pretty neato, if true.

Of course I'll recommend @eveninghouse.bsky.social, the fledgling bookstore my partner and I run, with our beautiful website and great selection of high-quality literature, focusing on small presses, books in translation and bangers new and old (which ship anywhere in the US:) eveninghousebooks.com

A Mythos of Monsters and Madness has been out for a month! Would love to get some more reviews to boost the book's visibility. If you're interested in reviewing my book, let me know.

"The Maker of Moons" by Robert W. Chambers, published by G.P. Putnam's Sons in 1896. Released a year after his most well-known book, "The King in Yellow" this is Chambers' other major collection of Weird Tales. This first printing includes a frontispiece by Lancelot Speed. #booksky 1/2

Edgar Allan Poe died at Washington Medical College in Baltimore, Maryland on this day, October 7, 1849. 📖

Feel in my bones that if there was a mysterious cabin in the woods where everyone who ever stayed was never seen again it would be a repeat #1 Tiktok filming location. And the more I think about it the more true it becomes, folks would just keep feeding themselves to it for the clicks.

Had a wonderful opportunity to talk about the novelization of In the Mouth of Madness with the Lovecraft eZine. www.youtube.com/live/mG8C16b...

First review and it's a great one!

Happy First Day of Fall and Happy Hobbit Day! Author copies arrived today. youtube.com/shorts/ZMy7p...

Something I've been thinking about a lot, lately. You can pick it up here, if you want. I would love it if you did! ghoulish.rip/product/issu...

I named this collection ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY bc, OTOH, they're about problem women scratching against the powers-that-be (the state, society, fate) - but they're also about the consequences of power, the tug-of-war between chaos and order: the issues within authority, no matter who's in charge.

"Red Skies in the Morning," first published by Dim Shores, is about two sisters - one pragmatist, one idealist - struggling to find purpose in a world overrun by "Ring"-style chain curses. But really it's about our existence in a cold, uncaring universe, and the different ways we deal with that.

"Your Next Best American Girl," first published by Crystal Lake, is about a pageant contestant struggling with self-confidence, stiff competition, and the suspicion that her body is falling apart. My take on body horror, or rather the horror of having a body.

"Cop Car," original to this book, is about a little girl with psychic powers who's adopted - kind of - by a government agent. To be clear: this little girl is not a heroine. She's an apex predator. I've had her in mind for over a decade, and I'm so happy to be able to introduce her here.

Yesterday was pub day for my novella collection, ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY. I never know how to convince people to buy things so I figured I'd just talk a bit about the three included stories and where they come from, to mark the occasion.

Lost an icon of cinema today. RIP Robert Redford. Without his performance in Jeremiah Johnson, my first name might have been Stevie.

Fantastic bookmail courtesy of @johnchrostek.com! That title. That cover. 🤤

Print copy of A Mythos of Monsters and Madness delayed to September 7th. Annoying but if cosmic horror has taught me anything, it's that my plans are easily destroyed by the whims of the uncaring cosmos (and Amazon).

"The Red Duke" is the next story in my upcoming collection, A Mythos of Monsters and Madness. It was inspired by David Bowie's song Station to Station.

So tired from a wonderful day at the PA Renn Faire, but today's ToC reveal is "The Sheriff and the Samurai," A story partially inspired by the film Bunraku, which is a campy, classic. A Mythos of Monsters and Madness out on September 3rd.

The Threshold is the longest work in A Mythos of Monsters and Madness. It's novelette length and was originally published in pieces. This will be the first time it's collected in one spot.

Happy birthday to Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, born on August 30, 1797! Her Gothic novel "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus" is considered one of the earliest examples of science fiction, and its influence on the horror genre over the years has been immeasurable.

NEXT WEEK: The legendary @johnlangan.bsky.social joins the show to talk about his new collection, LOST IN THE DARK AND OTHER EXCURSIONS, and we go deep on Jack Cady's classic story "The Night We Buried Road Dog." Episode drops 9/3 at Noon Central!

The second of my two original stories in A Mythos of Monsters and Madness is "The King Needs Subjects," which was inspired by this image. You can order it on Amazon as of September 3rd.

Two groundhogs and a cardinal chilling in the backyard.

Less than a week until A Mythos of Monsters and Madness is released. Today's Table of Contents Reveal is "Seven Entries in the Midnight Path." A therapist has her patient journal for seven days, and the results are disastrous. Crowley was a big inspiration for elements of the story.
