full on screaming LOOK AT THEM!!!

Fanart for The Starving Saints 🥀🗡️

I was waiting for Maze Mice to come to mobile because I figured it would be a great commute game I was correct 🐭

Okay, kiddo (3.5) really likes to take pictures. We don’t like handing over our phones. Kid-focused cameras have games(????) loaded on them or other features we don’t need. please recommend your fave easy to use digital cameras. bonus if it’s easy to port photos to a digital frame of some kind

Terrible scenes just minutes into the new socialist regime in New York as literally hundreds of billionaires discover mamdani already living rent free in their heads

Tonight (Nov 3) at @powells.bsky.social at Cedar Hills Crossing. At 7 PM PST, @sentencebender.bsky.social and I will delight and entertain you! www.powells.com/events/mary-... Let me know in the comments if you're planning to come by.

Holy shit I’m a third of the way into @hironennes.bsky.social WORKS OF VERMIN and they are now one of my favorite writers all the Byzantine feral layered prose of Wolfe or Peake and the modern brutal verve and sensibilities of Mariana Enriquez synthesized into a wholly unique voice all of their own

2/3 What about some more traditional Horror? Prepare to be haunted by @caitlinstarling.com and #JenniferThorne. But it it’s a classic slasher and forest survival horror you’re craving, #DarcyCoates will more than take care of you 👻

missed that somebody else had picked up on the connections between piranesi and the magician's nephew, which delighted me because that's probably my favorite narnia book reactormag.com/tracing-the-...

most of the last decade of my career was a frantic effort to warn as many people as possible about the dangers i saw coming in the near future now that all the stuff i saw coming is here, i dunno what to do other than maybe start a Warhammer 40k podcast

so the process of writing is a process of realizing how imperfect and incomplete that idea was, and actually working out all the rest of it. writing, in other words, is a process of thinking: a particularly disciplined one, that takes you from a warm feeling to a genuine reality.

the WHOLE THING about writing is realizing that you don't "already" have "the whole thing" in your head. when it's just an idea that warm feeling smooths over all the gaps. but you've got a germ. a seed. there are *so many choices* left to make--real, hard, meaningful, creative choices.

Book 30: The Oblivion Bride by @caitlinstarling.com. A fun queer romance-by-way-of-a-deadly-curse—I liked the world of magic-powered tech and I liked the central relationship. (I may be developing a taste for novellas!)

yay more books

Hey, I know books are expensive and money is tight right now. But if there's a brand new book you really wanna read — including my own Lessons in Magic and Disaster — you can help get the book into way more hands by requesting it from your local library! It's easy! Check your library's website.

made some new friends this week 😘 thanks so much to @caitlinstarling.com & Linton Taylor & Lewis Warren for visiting Unabridged! We've got signed copies of their books now in the shop!

Had to control my fangirling last night as I got to meet @caitlinstarling.com !!! If you love horror or weird girl fiction - you have to get all of her books. 🙌 She was at BHB for the release of “The Graceview Patient” (which we do have signed copies of btw and can ship them to you 😉)

Happy book week to Hiron Ennis for the excellent The Works of Vermin, out yesterday. Queer inventive lyrical anticapitalist biopunk for fans of The Fifth Season, Absolution, or The Iron Dragon's Daughter. torpublishinggroup.com/the-works-of...

I hate to do this one too - I'm canceling my appearance next week at Blue House Books in Kenosha, Wisconsin to discuss Caitlin Starling's newest release The Graceview Patient. It's an amazing book and Caitlin is just absolutely fantastic. It's available now. Please order a copy!

On my way to San Francisco for my little bit of Litquake, and I… have no idea what I’m going to do with the rest of my time there. But don’t worry! My flight’s indefinitely delayed. So maybe I won’t have extra time. 😂

Happy #NewReleaseTuesday everyone! There are so many incredible new books hitting the shelves this week that we couldn’t fit them all into one post, so stay tuned for more! Which of these new reads are you grabbing first?

While the question of genre sometimes stymies, or even annoys, some authors, in talking with me about her new novel The Graceview Patient," Caitlin Starling provided a workaround by creating her own for this book: "hospital Gothic." paulsemel.com/exclusive-in... 📖🩺😷

Getting to show you all this cover and announce that VILLAIN is officially coming out in May of next year is such a joy and a relief i don't even know how to express it. www.harpercollins.com/products/vil...

I did a fun little photo shoot thing mostly so I could tell on Instagram about The Graceview Patient being out in the US in one week. For your delight, I’ve included what I’m calling the “law and order edit”. text layout is hard okay.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

eyyy paperback cover. honestly obsessed with how in your face the yellow is, bring on the heat delirium.
