My horror meetup group hit this milestone before the year wrapped: 1K members! So, despite how terrible 2025 was in many ways, this wasn't. #BostonHorrorSociety

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

If Amy Sherman-Palladino can produce 22 high-quality episodes of Gilmore Girls every year in the space of 6 years, there's no reason we should have to wait 2 to 3 years for the next 8 episode season of your streaming series.

Squirrel Girl, or GTFO!

My true Christmas wish - the thing I hold most hopeful in my heart - is that each and every one of you has a better 2026 than you had in 2025. May the fates be generous and kind and you all receive the blessings you all so richly deserve. Merry Christmas and much love to you all.

A horror movie where a streaming platform fucks up remastering a beloved tv show and the edges of the frame are revealed to be full of demons and shit

"I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!" Cue 8 year old Jason bawling his eyes out. 😭

Soup Night! 💀

Yes yes, Nosferatu (2024), Frankenstein (2025), Werwulf in 2026 but now we need an Abbott and Costello equivalent to meet them all in 2027

Vincent Price and Elvira want to wish you a Happy and Spooky Halloween. 🎃

the INVISIBLE MAN is imho probably the best of the OG universal horror films. it is delightfully unhinged and the invisibility effect is still astonishing all of these years later

One of the fav movie rental experiences. This and The Cable Guy would make an ideal double feature.

As should be no surprise, @mitpress.bsky.social bookstore has an impressive display of books for October. 📚

Last night's performance of Evil Dead in Concert at The Cabot in Beverly was groovy! #evildeadinconcert

So happy to be slinging books at the Spooktastic book fair again this year!👻📚 This free all ages horror book fair will feature over SIXTY children's, YA, and adult horror authors! Meet @paultremblay.bsky.social and more! When: Saturday, September 13 from 11am-5pm Where: Be there and be scared!😱

I will say the thing that AI does really well is emulate that precise feeling of meeting someone new, and they seem amiable and pretty verbose, but over the course of the conversation you start to realize that they’re very stupid.

Last night's screening of the '88 version of The Blob by @thecoolidge.bsky.social was a lot of fun. Saw plenty of familiar faces at the Rose Kennedy Greenway, the presentation on the Great Molasses Food was informative, and Ripley attended her 1st Boston Horror Society event!

"It's ok, honey. The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout won't hurt you!" The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout:

A week has passed since Camp Necon 43 ended. If a horror literature con merged with a family reunion, that's Necon in a nutshell. Can't say enough wonderful things about it. 📚🦇🍻

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

Things got weird Tuesday night. #WeirdAl

When you discover that the cabin in Maine you are staying at has the best reading material. 🔎 #nancydrew

Greetings from Damariscotta, ME. 😎

Re: last repost, if you're looking for a feel-bad, anti-patriotic movie to counter-program this 4th of July, you can do much worse than Brian De Palma's BLOW OUT (1981).

How most packages are addressed to me.

🎃 Remember Monster Planet?! Back in 1995, cult icon Reed Richmond hosted a weird 'lil Halloween special on witches, werewolves, & more. Thought lost— it's finally available again, and first run comes with a spooky punk zine from back in the day. Link in my bio. October in my heart. LET'S RAGE

If you celebrate it, Happy #Jaws Day! 🦈

The best news you can get after attending a con over the weekend. 🥳 #StokerCon

If there is one memory me and Gillian Daniels will take with us from #StokerCon, it will be the birds. Both the lobby art and the real ones that visited the hotel windows too often.😬

Congrats to @emilyhughes.bsky.social on winning a Stoker Award for her book Horror for Weenies! #StokerCon

Ready for my second day of #StokerCon. Gonna head to the dealer's room to see if i can find some Sutter Cane books.

No crows at this horror con, but we got seagulls.

The swag is strong here at StokerCon.

Leaving for my first StokerCon tomorrow. Almost done packing the essentials. #StokerCon

I sure do love KING KONG VS GODZILLA (1962), I mention for no particular reason

Can't let May end without mentioning Boston Horror Society, my social group for horror fans in MA, turned 10 years old this month! Here's to another 10! 👻 💀 🐺 #BostonHorrorSociety

For anyone close to Salem, Massachusetts- tonight at 10pm, @auroragorealis.bsky.social and I will be at Cinema Salem to screen her flick, FOR SALE BY EXORCIST and do a lil Q&A afterward. Come hang out! www.cinemasalem.com/movie/for-sa...

Feeling this today

Writers: before you sign a contract with a publisher, make sure AI isn't replacing your illustrator, your translator, your editor, your jacket designer. Readers: if you're thinking of buying a book, do the same. Refuse. Resist. If AI garbage doesn't sell, people will stop making it.

We're going to need a bigger program. Checking out The Shark is Broken with friends at the North Shore Music Theatre in Beverly. #Jaws

Are we not men? WE ARE DEVO! #Devo #MGMFenway #concert

Cheers to @catmscully.bsky.social on the book birthday of Below the Grand Hotel. Demons and Art Deco. C'mon, you know you want to read this. 😈

One of my highlights from @salemhorrorfest.bsky.social was the book panel moderated by @beantownhorrors.bsky.social — left with a few books pictured below (The Reformatory not pictured as my partner is currently reading it)

And that's a wrap on this year's #SalemHorrorFest! See ya next year!

We had a screaming good time at the Hawthorne Hotel today for @salemhorrorfest.bsky.social! @tananarivedue.bsky.social @mattmbartlett.bsky.social @marisca.bsky.social @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social @krissiekwrites.bsky.social

Opening night for @salemhorrorfest.bsky.social at the Peabody Essex Museum was amazing! @ashleylaurence.bsky.social! @tananarivedue.bsky.social! And a certain familiar logo! 😉

Thank you to everyone who came out for Salem Horror Fest 8’s opening night! And thank you to @tananarivedue.bsky.social @ashleylaurence.bsky.social @xghorror.bsky.social @necromandrea.bsky.social It was an amazing night!

It begins! #salemhorrorfest

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.
