Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is my favourite thing from GRRM and the episode tonight is my favourite out of all the Game of Thrones TV shows. I'm so hyped, I can't sleep. It's sooo good!!

Highly recommend taking time to read "Autogas Ferryman" by @champwongs.bsky.social Especially if you're a voting member of the HWA; it's on the Stoker preliminary ballot and it's stellar www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/auto...

The Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity has announced a two-week residency with Nalo Hopkinson @nalohop.bsky.social, Sheree Renee Thomas @shereereneethomas.bsky.social, and Joshua Whitehead. Yes you DO want to do this. banffcentre.ca/programs/lit...

Ooh! The list is fantastic as always. I'm honored that "The Millay Illusion" is on there in the novelette category! Also delighted to see my students @somtoihezue.bsky.social and @champwongs.bsky.social make the list! Also also delighted to see a new category for translated novels. Congrats to all!

One day left to submit your work to Nightmare Magazine! We close at 11 pm tomorrow night. As ever, we're looking for short stories under 7500 words, flash stories 0-1500 words long, poetry, and creative nonfiction.

"Be a good person? That’s much too lofty. How about start by being a good son?"

Congratulations everyone on the preliminary ballot for the Bram Stoker Award!!! Took a long moment of rubbing my eyes to realise that Autogas Ferryman is on there too! Well done, Somsak. You go inter now. Thank you @wnwagner.bsky.social for the opportunity with Nightmare 🫶🏼

This morning I woke up wondering if writing was an absolute waste of my time when there's so much work to do helping people and making the world a better place. And then I got a text from a friend telling me I had a novel on the Stoker long list. It's a really complicated & weird time to be alive.

this story has been longlisted for the british science fiction awards! consider checking it out if you have voting powers, or if you don't have voting powers, or whatever, i'm not the boss of you! www.bsfa.co.uk/bsfa-awards-...

Autogas Ferryman runs on the saying of อย่าเปลืองตัว (ya pluang tua) which literally means “don’t squander your life/wellbeing”. It's wasteful martyrdom to do the right thing which is ultimately insignificant against the grinding machine of an entrenched system. Take care of yourself out there.

Received final edits on the novel from my editor at Putnam--mostly light comments, paring back, and line edits. All major structural changes were accepted--which is such a relief as it was such a weird first draft God willing, A DARK AND NARROW HOUSE should be in your hands in spring of 2027!

Oh, thank you so much for the inclusion of Autogas Ferryman. I love so many of the pieces in the list and it's such privilege to be included among them. And with so many more to discover! 🤩

Some more favourite horror of the year, here is Autogas Ferryman by @champwongs.bsky.social in @nightmare-magazine.com #booksky 📚💙 📚🪐📚🤖

It's such an incredible honour to be included in this list among excellent peers 😊 thank you so much!

Garmuti, you've made it on the thumbnail 🥹 Pride: -50 Advocacy of Buddhist message: +50

resurfacing the dark academia fantasy novelette i published earlier this year, about identity, assimilation & pursuit in a colonial institution ❤️ reactormag.com/the-name-ziy...

I'm seeing people posting their 2025 award eligibility, so here's mine. Please consider if any story touches your heart. Thank you! 🙏🏼

With the Nebula and BSFA nominations open, I’d be honored if you’d consider my novelette, “We Begin Where Infinity Ends,” published in @clarkesworldmagazine.com. It's a story of friendship, love, and fireflies✨🪲 clarkesworldmagazine.com/ihezue_02_25/

On the surface, a dark academia story with a vicious bite and wistful reminiscence. Beneath the surface, a raw aching memory for anyone who had once sacrificed a part of themselves to survive and thrive on hostile soil. Really love this story by @wenyilee.bsky.social

Still looking for a path to enlightenment? Author @champwongs.bsky.social considers life's greatest mysteries with a bit of background for his recent Reactor story "Where the Hell is Nirvana?" www.champwongsatayanont.com/essays/where...

Thank you so much for the post!! 🥹 Channelled as much of my inner doomer into humour as I could, and somehow it became noir-ish. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Wrote my first blog/essay explaining my @reactorsff.bsky.social novelette 'Where the Hell is Nirvana?' for those who might be curious/angry/confused about the lore. Contains how-to guide to attain Nirvana (no click-bait) www.champwongsatayanont.com/essays/where...

I am once again asking fans to be kinder to each other.

Thank you so much for the double inclusion to the list 😭 I'm so happy with the message you took away from 'Where the Hell is Nirvana?' 🙏🏼

This @champwongs.bsky.social story is really *really* good. www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/auto...

sharing this again in case you missed it the first time. just a great story, with so many feelings.

"The greatest blessing of human psychology is eroticization." Thought this was a quip, not a profound insight on toxicity, extreme conditions, and eldritch gravity-play. Wild, funny(?), hot(?), and horrifying. Please read this story by @p-h-lee.bsky.social. Maybe not on the plane like I did.

OK, seeing my name on Book Riot was a jumpscare. bookriot.com/native-ameri...

WE MAKING IT OUT OF THE CYCLE OF SAMSARA WITH THIS ONE The Good Place X The Wolf of Wall Street set in the Thai-Buddhist heaven. I hope you enjoy this absurd, divine comedy! Thank you @malf.bsky.social for the opportunity to gush about the Traibhumikatha and Wenjing Yang for the godlike art!!

Disappointed that none of my Western readers have discovered my main inspiration for Autogas Ferryman yet, I need to share the interview. All the Thai folks immediately recognise the reference, but the world must also know.

HEY NEW WRITING COMING OUT IN A MONTH FROM MOI if you love experimental sapphic religious horror you're in luck!

You’re pushed on by numbers and punitive measures: pain, rejection, and unpaid bills. You can either play or you can crawl under a boat and waste away -- turn into salt or a flock of seagulls. Your enemies would love that. Or you can fight. The only way to load the dice is to keep on fighting.

Great fun. Yes, it's about grief and futility and mangled car crash ghosts, but somehow also incredibly charming.
