My daughter and I were on Boston's NPR station, WBUR, talking about the essay we collaborated on for @raforall.bsky.social 's WHY I LOVE HORROR. Emma drew five illustrations. Link includes audio and two of Emma's illustrations. www.wbur.org/upnext/2025/...

Time for this week's Shadow Report: youtu.be/xbWvGVHt22w

I'm doing it again. Going live on Sunday for any authors, creators, or shadow dwellers who want to ask questions or just chat. Here's the link: youtube.com/live/OVRDcHa...

I don't know who needs to hear this today, but you shouldn't be afraid to embrace your unique creative voice. Make the art only you can make. Let your imagination run wild. Shine like a star. The world needs your brilliance.

I dislike that many pop culture commentators say things like “Why [insert title] Didn’t Work,” when what they mean is “Why I Didn’t Enjoy [insert title].” I get it. You want audiences to think of you as an expert. But it’s just your opinion. Nothing more. Calm down. #writingcommunity #criticisms

Joe's horror quiz book is out today. He's a sucker for scary history and facts. Even more so of unsolved mysteries, haunted places, movie behind the scenes stories, and even authors and their books. TEST YOUR TERROR has it all, including a ranking system for yourself or game night with friends.

I love how anti-nazi @jamesgunn.bsky.social has made the DCU. It makes me so happy. Thank you! #Peacemaker #DCU

Hey, happy book launch day to our CEO, Joe! Help us get TEST YOUR TERROR to number 1. Especially if you're a fan of trivia, game nights, or just having something cool to read in the bathroom. Available as an eBook (on various platforms) and paperback: geni.us/TestYourTerror

It’s #FridayReads time and Hispanic/Latine Heritage month! Let’s boost all signals. This month is great, but I write with an accent every month. Here’s a (45% off!) novel full of sazón and magic, waves and monsters, storms and revenge, crime and friendship. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...

We need Universal Health Care, Universal Basic Income, houses for the homeless, and so much more. And this country has the money. Hell, the money they're spending on ICE operations alone could fund a big chunk of that.

Just a reminder that if you enjoy a book, please leave a quick review on Amazon or Bookshop dot org, or wherever. Even if it's only a sentence, it really, really helps get the word out to other readers.

#HorrorWritersChat Getting to these as I see them as I just got back. Probably everything. I mean this is basically the premise of Black Cat Bookshop: making a payment that is not as easy as tapping a credit card against black plastic. Some refused to pay, sacrificing themselves. Some paid

Trying to ease up on the podcasts and video essays to give my brain a break. Here’s one of my favorite Synthwave artists Midnight Danger. #music #synthwave #80s #rock #midnightdanger #horrorcommunity #adhd youtu.be/mWQjO9XLLcY?...

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4: I smile and say "The price of an extension is one per week. So, you've got plenty of time."

Jim Henson would have been 89 years old today. Here's one of the best days of my life visiting The Jim Henson Exhibition back in 2017

My publisher reassured me that they’re okay with Nostalgiamares 2 taking so long. This relief feels like someone vacuumed wet cement out of my lungs. Is this how normal people breathe? #writing #writingcommunity #horrorcommunity #publishing #mentalhealth #adhd #anxiety #art #creativity

Great job hosting #HorrorWritersChat, Gree. As for me, I am over 3.8k words into my latest WIP for The #ShadowBoxArchives. We have a Tumblr community under the same name where you can post your work. I will link it below. Also, check out my pinned post to support us. www.tumblr.com/communities/...

Thanks for the cool questions! Speaking of curses: Delah Nix must find a cure before the next full moon or she'll have to kill the boy next door! Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/book/show/23... Zon: a.co/d/b9TyYvP B&N: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/maryneal-1...

My evil Frosty the snowman short just came out in this anthology from @underlandpress.bsky.social weightlessbooks.com/kozy-krampus/

I will promote the poetry collection that includes “The Apothecary With a Golden Tooth” that I referenced in question 4. It’s actually the very first poem in Mausoleums of the Eye and other poems! Other horror poems included are “Aqueous”, “Creatures”, “Does My Blood Bleed?”, Flock”, and more! 🪾🪰

Thanks for the questions this week! Shout out here to The Folk in the Woods by @erynmccee.bsky.social for her disturbing but enjoyable folk horror. www.amazon.co.uk/Folk-Woods-M...

All I have on my end is that my work on Land of Gold continues! Still aiming to finish the 3rd & final draft before 1st November! bsky.app/profile/gree...

Super cool topic today! Do you like rowdy farm animals? Identify with people that just want some damn peace? Check out SOUR DOE and come along with poor Frank as he deals with some unusual homestead problems. Coming soon!

Find me in libraries and your favorite bookstores! IN THE HOUSE OF IN BETWEEN is a haunted house tale told over a century from post WWI spiritualism to futuristic attempts to find the genesis of ghosts—but what, or who, haunts a house where no one has ever died? Thanks for a fun #HorrorWritersChat!

Thank you for the accursed questions (no? Too soon?) I'd like to take this chance to promote the horror podcast Staring Into The Abyss I'm co-hosting along with @brandenburgdm.bsky.social and Richard Gerlach. We discuss horror stories, talk to authors & have a good time. Check us out on Spotify

I am just not cut out for these questions this week 🤣 I felt the most evil I could go was the itching. My characters could do worse. Maybe I should ask them. #horrorwriterschat

Pain be my focus My only known locus For upon the page The blood shall drip Be it rage Or horrors that grip A song from one mind That pierces human rind Words of change and sway Away away away #HorrorWritersChat

Behold, the cover of Book 2! It's not coming out until next summer, but you can still add it on Goodreads and pre-order if you'd like. No curses or hexes if you don't. I just appreciate the support! #HorrorWritersChat

Thank you for hosting (and forcing me to search the depths of an apparent blackened soul) #horrorwriterschat

You rip out the tooth, it’s blood gleaming with opportunity Offer me beautiful stickers and pens, then I will reward you a curse immunity. #HorrorWritersChat

The chants quieten, the baleful red of our chapel cools into a pitch black. Now, ‘tis your time to promote – show us your works. What do you scribble? Where can we peruse them? Use the hashtag’s feed to peruse the questions. (bsky.app/profile/chao...) #HorrorWritersChat

"You rip out the tooth, its blood gleaming with opportunity. Sunken candles connect pinpricks of ambition in your eyes with it, dancing in the small, earth-laden room. "You lick the flow of blood from the hole in your gums. Your smile is tinged in red." #HorrorWritersChat

"You rip out the tooth, its blood gleaming with opportunity. Beware: even in your dreams, you can't escape the rule of three." #HorrorWritersChat

I hand the bloody tooth to the black-robed man, who takes it and eats it, the bone crunching like a solid scream shattering into shards that fly back at me, lacerating my mind. In the pain of it, I see the future, as promised. But I see nothing of myself there. #horrorwriterschat

#HorrorWritersChat "You rip out the tooth, its blood gleaming with opportunity You sit on a chair, and then watch a season of Community" 😐 Seriously my books are pretty decent Please don't judge me

#HorrorWritersChat "You rip out the tooth, it's blood gleaming with opportunity." Hopefully, this is enough to fool the tooth fairy.

A.4) “You rip out the tooth, its blood gleaming with opportunity. Swallow it deep, forget all you knew with impunity. Spit it to earth, where shadows will keep, A name that was yours, now buried in sleep.” #HorrorWritersChat

But one is not enough for your wish. In fact, there are 31 still in his mouth, awaiting release. The Tooth Fairy will reward you most handsomely. #HorrorWritersChat

I’m going to pretend this is a continuation of my horror poem “The Apothecary With a Golden Tooth”: I rip out the tooth, its blood gleaming with opportunity. What elixirs could this make me? No longer a patient; now dabbling in alchemy, I leave with my prize from the apothecary. #HorrorWritersChat

You rip out the tooth, it's blood gleaming with opportunity. You take it in your mouth, hard and wet on your tongue, and swallow. Tear-filled eyes stare up at you, bloody mouth hung open. 31 more to go. #HorrorWritersChat
