"For the men, I like to craft a prison. Colours are drained. The noose tightens no matter the knot. To dress up is to stand on the edge of a plateau and see it is but a thin precipice we decided to call the world - as if that keeps us safe."

Thank you to everyone who has bought Skin Thief or Countess, or requested either at the library or written a review about them. You are keeping me writing. Literally. As a new long form writer every single sale matters. I want to write more books for you! I'm writing another right now! 🖤🙏

every AI person talking about LLM makes me say Lucy Laud Montgomery in my head

How To Restore a Timeline is a holiday story about violence and memory. It takes place on a special variant of December 27, 2006—one that never ends, overlapping and consuming all time that dares come after. And I hear it makes a great gift, available everywhere you buy books.

I bet rewatching "Q: The Winged Serpent" would fix me right up.

I'd appreciate shares of this as it is free and you know Caribbean SFF is my thing.

Canada is releasing a set of stamps celebrating the nation's graphic novelists. These stamps feature Kate Beaton, Jimmy Beaulieu, Guy Delisle, Julie Doucet, Bryan Lee O’Malley and Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, alongside some of their famous works.

If you think I talk about my work a lot, it's because it's part of the job. I don't have a marketing team (yet) I AM the team (for now). And the way social media works, you can post the same thing 100xs before someone sees it. Someone will love your work, but they have to know it exists first ❤️

AGONY’s came during our 1st push at a “full”schedule. An exciting & nerve jangling time where we never knew what would happen (still don’t). But it hit hard for us, because Laura hustled hard for its success, & because it’s such a good fucking book w/a killer central hook that people want to read🖤☠️

Forever proud of this novella. Have I improved as a writer since? Yes. Do I still love this story and these characters? YES. Do I have impossible sequel ideas? Yes, my good b*tch 🖤 Please purchase from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social , they are the realest of deals 🖤

In Grade 10 or 11, our teacher asked to do something very different. He bought a bunch of mm pprbks from the drugstore. I remember a few: "A Painted House;" "Antrax;" "A Bend in the Road." He told us to pick whatever we wanted, read it, do a report. The effect that had ...

My knee has not stopped hurting for two years. A flare up of an old injury that was badly treated (thanks, doc!) when I was 20. The other day, I fell on it hard. Full body, onto the knee, on concrete. Hurt so bad, couldn't move for a few minutes. But now ... except for the skinning ... it's better?

Returning to short stories after a year+ of writing novels is a trip.

The East Coast Canada Agony💔 (One funny thing: a friend of mine did insane begging/magic to get "Pan's Labyrinth" to the Regent Theatre in Fredericton NB for two nights. Packed theatre. On the 1st screening, a woman stood up akimbo & cried, "Who's Pan!?") Please send us more films 🖤

+ A stranger and a town + a kid and a new "friend" + a bunch of kids and a discovery + a family with a past + Toni Collette

Tony, any imaginary friend, described as "The little boy that lives in my mouth" is probably the best added detail to Kubrick's "The Shining."

I have a precious hour to myself. I'm starting It: Welcome to Derry. Hoping I don't regret this.

Just for my own edification, if you are BIPOC and living in Canada and write gothic horror do you mind saying hi to me on this thread? Off the bat respectfully I know of Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Premee, Nalo Hopkinson, I love all of their work and have their books.

"Hannibal" the novel full plot.

I reckon donning a perfectly tailored suit and travelling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind would fix me right up.

Today is all about scheduling the 2026 calendar; giving myself a heart attack *now* so I don't have 70 small heart attacks next year, or at the very least cutting that 70 down to a healthy 30. 2026 Book Club subscriptions open in TWO WEEKS🖤☠️

A favorite!
