Super honored to be in this anthology!

On The Line-up: @cybergodwrites.bsky.social discusses dark poetry for October.

From @raforall.bsky.social HQ: Horror: 31 Days of Horror: Day 2-- Why I Love Horror by @natcassidy.bsky.social : raforallhorror.blogspot.com/2025/10/31-d...

Plus Suzanne Young, @katchowrites.bsky.social , Renee Ahdieh, and @rachelharrison.bsky.social What's your pick?

The @nytimes.com asked me to write about the 20th anniversary (??!) of Twilight, and to recommend some books that have published since then that Twilight folks might love. Oh, this was SO FUN.

I made a free printable bookmark you can use for any banned books week (or before or after!) displays, books, etc., that gives people *action items* for defending the right to read. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

This fills my heart that the essay touched someone at the station enough to reach out and ask them to share how horror connects them. I hope their joy reaches others. Thanks Paul and Emma!
