www.cbsnews.com/news/sonder-... HA! Backstory. Months before my trip to Boston, this company was charging me, DAILY, for a reservation that hadn't started. Weeks later, I got it resolved, but not before including the CEO of Marriott and Expedia. Seems like their business model was suspect.

Nah, I'm gonna tell my cats this is Diane Keaton, Bea Arthur, Michael Caine, and Gena Davis.

Hmmm, let's see: Skyrim - Special and Anniversary Edition, God of War, God of War, God of War II, God of War 3, God of War: Ragnorak, Elden Ring and Shadow of the Erdtree, Bloodborne, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Majora's Mask, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and that's all that fits.

B&N list WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES as one of the Best Horror Books of 2025. It blows my mind that this book is still lingering ten months later since it first released. Means the world to me. Check out the complete list here: bit.ly/4nWTOYj @barnesandnoble.com @quirkbooks.bsky.social

Hey #author (s) #writer (s). What's the advantage of using Amazon to sell discounted e-books? Given the retailer's reputation, I'm wondering do they pay more? Or is it about reach? From a moral standpoint, I try to support local first before Amazon. Thanks!

It was a pleasure to be on Greg's podcast. Please give it a listen

Thrilled that my dark fantasy novels set in Noreela, beginning with British Fantasy Award-winning DUSK, will be re-released by @badhandbooks.bsky.social !! Sign up today for four doses of dark magic, sword and sorcery, and some of the darkest fantasy there is.

Thank you @peoplemag.bsky.social for allowing me & @raforall.bsky.social to talk about our favorite topic: horror people.com/why-is-horro...

I rarely wade into the space of political opinion. But the events of the past couple of weeks have concerned me. Specifically in how callously some groups and public figures are denouncing the 1st Amendment. As one of the cornerstones of our Constitution, it saddens me.

Sitting here, I’m struck by a memory from my childhood - “Dark Forces“ by Kirby McCauley. This unique anthology included my introduction to @stephenking.bsky.social - The Mist. It still influences my reading to this day. Now, as an adult, I’m pondering a re-read. Anyone else? #booksky

Had a blast in #Boston. Well, mostly had a blast, given I attended two games at #FenwayPark that resulted in a sense of bewilderment. Overall thoughts. 1. I love cannolis a bit too much. 2. Some of the local roasters price their coffee insanely. 3. Echoes of Ireland wherever I walked.

In #Boston for the last day. Attended two games at #FenwayPark, tried locally roasted coffee, walked the #BostonCommons, and enjoyed another rewarding #Bovas cannoli. Today, I’ve got a #BostonBeer tour, followed by a Tiki drink lunch with some Szechuan, before concluding the day with some Italian.

I know this will stir up some conversation and responses, but I have to ask the following. If an established author is later to be found guilty of a legal or societal sin, does this invalidate their previous works?

If you write, you’re a writer. It’s that simple.

This new anthology based in the world of @stephenking.bsky.social's THE STAND has a killer list of contributors. @kundalinisteve.bsky.social & I are thrilled to have a short story in here—“The Boat Man.” A plague and the fall of civilization are striking a nerve with readers. Gee...I wonder why. 🤔

Decided to move away from #vampires, #werewolves, creepy houses, and #cannibalism. Traded it for "The Demonologist" by the late @andrewpyper.bsky.social. #iamreading #books #booksky #horror #thriller

Done with "The Grip of It: A Novel" by @jacjemc.bsky.social. Great use of 1st-person and character development. Having finished, I'm wondering if others have some suggestions. Else, I'll probably start looking into supernatural or paranormal novels. #iamreading #books #booksky #horror #thriller

Rarely do I like to vent on a platform like this. But here goes. Before booking a temporary room in a city, make sure it's not managed by a third party. Booked a room through #VRBO only to find out it was managed by #MarriottHotels.

#FF Authors we’ve read this year. @jacjemc.bsky.social , @timlebbon.bsky.social , @sadiehartmann.bsky.social , @sgj.bsky.social , @buehlmeister.bsky.social , @almakatsu.bsky.social , & @cgolden.bsky.social.

Contributor copies have arrived of THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT: STORIES FROM STEPHEN KING’S THE STAND. Thank you Stephen King, and to the editors Brian Keene and Christopher Golden. Available August 19th and it includes my short story “Milagros,” where I take The Stand to Puerto Rico.

DAMNIT! I'm on the San Juans that day! LOL! FML. -Enjoy, Seattle.

Ooooooh!

Just finished reading @almakatsu.bsky.social's "The Hunger". Loved the use of historical characters! As part of my ongoing trek through the "101 Books To Read Before You're Murdered", I'm now reading "The Grip of It: A Novel" by @jacjemc.bsky.social. #iamreading #books #booksky #horror #thriller

New issue of WEIRD TALES is out. Check out that lineup!! Available in print and eBook at www.weirdtales.com On Audible at bit.ly/4mpgv6k @blackstonepub.bsky.social #weirdtales

IN TWELVE DAYS, YOU CAN LISTEN TO THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!

It's beautiful. And HUGE! And I'm so proud to have a story in this amazing anthology. Career highlight. What a day.

Just watched #FantasticFour: First Steps. It's funny, but I walked away entertained, and it felt like I was on autopilot. Not sure if this is the hangover from the lead-up to Endgame versus everything after. Overall, I enjoyed the film, and its representation of Galactus and the Silver Surfer.

It's out in TWO WEEKS!!!!!

Damn, I'm in Boston that weekend. Unfortunately, Framingham is a bit far and definitely gets in the way of my Sox/Yankees game. Next time, as they say.

SECRET LIVES OF THE DEAD by @timlebbon.bsky.social hits shelves in just a few weeks! A dark folk horror tale of a deadly family curse, crime and murder that is sure to turn your blood cold... Coming August 28th! 💀 https://tinyurl.com/3dyeda6a

Question. A few months ago, I was #writing daily. Until some personal issue. Now, I feel a bit lost. My words incomplete. Wondering if this is a normal. Or is this a situation where I need to force myself to write on a daily basis again. Right now, I’m struggling with that part.

Sharing.

DEAD RED AND RAZOR is coming soon, and I can't wait for you to meet the gang ... and they can't wait to meet you. Order at @badhandbooks.bsky.social , with glorious artwork from @hagcult.bsky.social !

Every time I pull this tin of caffeine tablets out (in an airport now, which is an often-place for it), I’m immediately happier. And? Guess those few words in the background are the first words out there of my 2026 novel. Provided I figure it out. But that’s how it always feels.

Having finished reading the last novel, I've started reading @almakatsu.bsky.social's "The Hunger". #iamreading #books #booksky #horror #thriller

Having finished "The Lesser Dead" by @buehlmeister.bsky.social, I found the 1st-person approach unique. A fun vampire novel. Funny thing. My copy for Kindle's page numbers stayed on the same page number for many pages, at the 'end' of the book. #iamreading #books #booksky #horror #thriller

Ok. I have a serious question. In #Boston should I ask for a ‘Roll with mayo or butter? I grew up on butter, but my family wasn’t from there. #lobster #food #lobsterroll

Today’s the day: two books in one, live. Harper and Charlotte, both trying to fight through to daylight, one out on the open road, one locked in the house next door. Thanks for reading, y’all. Hope to see you, the next couple weeks.

Started reading "The Lesser Dead" by @buehlmeister.bsky.social. Interestingly, I'm averaging a book a week. Loving it! #iamreading #books #booksky #horror #thriller

One of the many books included in "101 Horror Books to Read Before You're Murdered" by @sadiehartmann.bsky.social, I finished reading "Mongrels" by @sgj.bsky.social. Loved the 1st-person, adolescent POV. I will be reading their other works. #iamreading #books #booksky #horror #thriller

When I was a kid, I was infatuated with werewolves. I fell in love with the 1987 TV show with Eric Cord and Chuck Connors and, naturally, Silver Bullet with Corey Haim. It's refreshing to read "Mongrels" which reminds me of that childhood. What are some of your childhood loves? #horror #thriller
