I'm going to read this one eventually. Interesting premise. I saw it in the wild, in the B&N, Collierville, TN after a morning spent playing Galaga and Joust at the retro arcade Nerd Alert. What does ##booksky think of it? @collinarmstrong.bsky.social #polybius #nerdalert

'This Never Happened' a 6K-word Horror short in a 100 copy numbered edition. Available bundled with pre-ordered paperback copies of my new book 'The Aggregate People.'

What the hell is going on in the woods up in the PNW? Over on my Manifold House substack I review Alethia by Alethes, an excellent pagan dark-ambient album housed in the distinctive Glass Throat packaging. Step into the forest with me...

Philip Jose Farmer, writing as Kilgore Trout, a recurring character from Vonnegut's novels. Farmer in disguise on back cover and look at the list of "other" Trout novels. Word was Vonnegut regretted letting Farmer do this with the character, this is actually a very fun book.

Four Doorways is an audiobook now. Available in the usual places www.amazon.com/Four-Doorway... #booksky #audiobooks #post-apocalyptic

Since no one sees my bluesky posts anyway I can post whatever I want. So here's Interdimensional Lionel Richie.

The prose in So Tender a Killer sucks the breath out of you. Beautiful and bewildering, each line vibrating with peyote energy. Elegant trauma. Chanel and cocaine. Switchblades in utero. No Country for Old Men as conceived by Derek Jarman. True Crime on heroic doses of LSD. What a ride.

The Aggregate People is out in a few days, a harrowing return to the bizarre post-apocalyptic in my previous book Four Doorways in or near New Orleans. Paperbacks available for pre-order direct from manifoldhouse.org

Currently reading 'Between Two Fires' by Christopher Beuhlman. Excellent Historic Fantasy set during the Black Plague. #booksky #fantasy

The Invasion Has Begun... #booksky FOUR DOORWAYS IN OR NEAR NEW ORLEANS Here's one review I absolutely love: “A high-octane collision of trippy, philosophical sci-fi and intense, cosmic Lovecraftian horror. Think of the Marvel show What If... but dial the weirdness up by a factor of ten.”

Does your environment have thin spots? Extra-dimensional incursions are possible. Know the signs. #fourdoorwaysinornearneworleans #cosmichorror #theblacklodge

In the wild...Memphis, Novel Bookstore.

Tom asked; "Will we be forgotten? Will no one know who we were?" I replied: "Stars that are young now will grow old and dark long before the memory of you passes away. But everything is wiped away in the end. Even me."

Holy hell...I just tried to mail a single paperback to the UK, $30. That was the cheapest. What.

My film from night 24; In the Mouth of Madness. I crack up in this scene; where he wakes up screaming and scares the geritol out of all the old blue-hairs on the bus.

I am genuinely, deeply, at a molecular level, uncomfortable with the marketing, self-promotion, social media and all of that…I hate it so much. I think of indie authors I know with great books but no SM presence. I used to think they should try harder. But maybe they're the ones that have it right.
