Play Dead

Looking for a ~good~ magical boarding school book series for your kids/nieces/nephews? Look no further 🖤 The Labyrinth of Souls series is suitable for middle grade readers who like creepy stuff, magic, and mayhem!

One of the best YA horror novels ever written.

#BookologyThursday How to tell you're reading a gothic novel – in pictures When Horace Walpole published his gothic story 'The Castle of Otranto,' he launched a literary movement which has sired monsters, unleashed lightning & put damsels in distress for 250 years www.theguardian.com/books/intera...

Yes.

'Reading Moth by Candlelight' by Fritz Schwimbeck

Love me an Old, Dark House mystery.

#Artemis II - We have the first image from yesterdays Lunar flyby captured by the crew on Orion EARTHSET. April 6, 2026. Humanity, from the other side. First photo from the far side of the Moon. Captured from Orion as Earth dips beyond the lunar horizon. 🚀🌕🌍

A positive review from Kirkus is always a relief. It seems like readers are getting from this book what I intended and I'm so grateful. UNNAMED BONES is something different from me and I'm proud of this one. www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

So I just watched Aliens again and here's Burke, from Aliens, the evil corporate fucker who tried to kill everyone in order to retrieve a Xenomorph for use as a bioweapon... ...who also coincidentally looks near-identical to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. lmfao

Back in my day, we called it ATLAS Comics... You can't beat these giant not-kaiju beasts from places where monsters roam! I hope they have the origins of The Titan and Groot!

Can't think of a better setting for a story about a cat.

First Fears is back! So glad to see it back after the short hiatus-- and I'm a big fan of Starmer's Riverman trilogy, Can't wait to hear about his new book!

"The color is repellent, almost revolting; a smouldering unclean yellow, strangely faded by the slow-turning sunlight." I made a "Yellow Wallpaper" piece back in 2017, but I re-read the story over the weekend and wanted to try again. Much happier with this version 🖤

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

The cover story for the latest issue of Vermont's favorite newspaper Seven Days is about good ol' Ben trying to buy back Ben & Jerry's from Unilever, but the biggest jump-scare is the appearance of my big old face! Thankfully, there's also a review to go with it. www.sevendaysvt.com/arts-culture...

Don’t believe me when I say nothing in Hookand is made up, just remembered differently? Please read Richard’s wonderful Alt text. Folklore is an amazing living current with wonderful manifestations. Scratch the surface and stories like this always turn up.

I'm finally allowed to reveal the cover for my book! This is Love Never Dies: Romance in Horror Movies. It's coming from @beaconpress on September 29. Isn't it beautiful? Dan McCarthy is the artist and Louis Roe is the designer.

Even Harry Potter said this.

The black door opens. Who or what will pass through? Episode 96 is available to our family tonight, 3.25.26. Live for the rest of the family 3.26.26.

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

This post clearly articulates why folks MUST boycott this franchise. It is *extremely* documented what she's doing with her money. I used to cosplay Narcissa Malfoy back in the day. I met some of my closest friends at HP cons. We're still friends. We walked away from HP entirely. Please walk away.

Reader, I drew it. That's eleven.

So excited to see this one in my mail by @amydominy.bsky.social Thanks so much for sharing your upcoming middle grade adventure with #bookposse We are looking forward to meeting Cassie & Blue!! 🐟 @pushkinpress.com

The night was cold and dark. “Listen to the wind howling in the trees,” said Frog. “What a fine time for a ghost story.”

Mervyn Peake, author of the Gormenghast trilogy. Such an overwhelming, beautiful, literary experience. It is difficult to put into words how much this affected me.

Here are some suggestions for the trans rights readathon that goes until March 31. These are some incredible authors!! @bitterkarella.bsky.social @haileypiperfights.bsky.social @sofiaajram.bsky.social @scumbelievable.bsky.social get reading people!!!

You may not be ready … www.kickstarter.com/projects/noc...

The lack of editorial oversight this book went through is disheartening. Traditional publishing needs to speed up its processes if it wants to compete with self publishing, but not the editorial part. That's where traditional should have the distinct advantage. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/b...

Writing anything down that you find interesting for your screenwriting isn't just about remembering it. It helps train your mind to see the world through that lens. Is this a story? A moment? A character? You'll start asking this out of habit. #screenwriting

A virtual ghost walk! Can't wait!

Exist

Sounds like so much fun!!

For anyone curious, this is the brilliant Professor Yvonne Chireau, who talked about her role in consulting on "Sinners" here: religiondispatches.org/2025/04/24/i...

YES, UNIVERSE, GET ON THIS:

I got to read an early copy of @dwgillespie.bsky.social 's latest, THE DOLL HOUSE! Gothic mansion by the sea, creepy laboratories and haunted dolls? What more can you want! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/751277...

New addition to the crypt! #horror #comics

I think this pretty much sums it up.
