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.

#Filmsky, help! The Brattle, my beloved hometown rep theatre in MA, had to cancel all their weekend programming due to a plumbing emergency. This is a HUGE financial hit. Please consider making a donation to help them instead of the well-endowed university next door: brattlefilm.org/2025/04/17/f...

It's always a joy when the Greater Boston Stage Company leans into comedy, and their production of The Play That Goes Wrong was firing on all cylinders from start to finish. Get to Stoneham before this wraps next week.

I created a GoFundMe. Thanks to your help yesterday, I was able to pay for 1/2 of one of my bills. I still need help. Please spread the word. 🖤 www.gofundme.com/manage/2r62w...

Quote with a title card that is important to you.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Horror fiction returns to Salem Horror Fest on May 3rd with readings, Q&As and signings with @marisca.bsky.social, @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social, @krissiekwrites.bsky.social, @mattmbartlett.bsky.social and @tananarivedue.bsky.social! Learn about the writers, venue and moderator (😉) in the link.

It’s insane that ppl report on EOs like they’re laws — they’re memos from the boss to his exec staff! They have all the legal weight of blog posts!
