As a child I made Pennywise the stand-in for everything I was afraid of in the real world. The Loser's Club taught me how to be brave and fight the horror head on. I owe Stephen King my writing career, but I also owe him my life.

Going to be posting a lot more while I'm working on this next book. What are you working on??

Nervously going down the rabbit hole that is SOFT, CHEWY CENTER, one of five stories in @kalvinellis.bsky.social ' BURY MY BODY SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Just saw The Life of Chuck. I really liked the short story by @stephenking.bsky.social and loved the movie even more. Enjoyed the Q&A hosted by @ericvespe.bsky.social . But the moment that stood out was @mikeflanaganfilm.com saying "Make momets," and telling everyone to do the thing that brings joy.

Always an absolute pleasure to talk with Kim C. She injects raw sunshine into these coal-fired veins of mine. Give it a listen wherever you get podcasts.

OR JUST NOT FUCKING USE IT EVER

Just received this little pulpy paperback beauty from @kalvinellis.bsky.social Five stories of grue and gore and questionable decency (I hope!) It looks like the kinda thing you stumble across in your dad's attic and realise he was much cooler than you thought.

After seeing Heart Eyes, I think we can all agree that @joshruben.bsky.social should definitely be adapting one of my books.

My new short story collection is available for pre-order! Go to Www.kalvinellis.com for links to order! #horror #newrelease #indiehorror #indieauthor #shorthorror

I've spent the day convincing myself that this was no accident.

Hear me out. Cameron Poe in Con Air gets a letter from his daughter saying her birthday is July 14th (and her daddy is coming home on Juky 14th). And the girls that are taken in Longlegs all share the same birthday, July 14th. Looks like we've got the origin story! #conair #longlegs #ragecage

GEORGE LUCAS IN 1999: a trade embargo is going to spark the galactic reckoning and collapse ME IN 2025: ah, okay

Thank you all you do to boost other writers, Gabino! My cult thriller THE MIRROR HOUSE GIRLS came out this week and I'm so excited to get the word out there. www.amazon.com/dp/B0DM36BVV5

A sci-fi detective comedy narrated by a footnoting coffee machine robot, set in a continent-spanning mall. “Sure to appeal to fans of Douglas Adams, this zany, uproarious mystery is a constant delight.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) www.amazon.com/Great-Americ...

In Deep Coprolite is on schedule for a summer release, so it's a good time to mention that Shade's noir urban fantasy adventures begin with Claws of the Collector, in which Shade encounters witches, deadly spirits, a possessed dagger, and a dragon or two. www.amazon.com/dp/B0DBRNHMTB

Thanks, Gabino! Start off the year with some Bluebeard-inspired gothic YA with The Keeper of the Key. Haunted houses! Secrets! Shocking twists! www.amazon.com/Keeper-Key-g...

My paranormal mystery/horror is available in all the usual places, but is best acquired from my website www.kalvinellis.com!

This is 30% off. Took me a year to write it. I opened up old wounds to get it done. Support real writers while tech bros threaten to publish thousands of AI “books” next year. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...

I get frustrated sometimes when I have a long weekend, and I didn't write at all. I know I should give myself a break, but I also know my other books were no picnic. There is a valuable balance between the grace and the grind. The great @gabino.bsky.social talks about it a lot. What do you think?

Best answer to the question "if you could have a book rewritten by a different author," ever!

Wicked was absolutely amazing! Best movie I've seen this year! Oh, should the horror guy not talk about a musical? Well, Stephen King fans, it's got Cynthia Erivo who played Holly in The Outsider, and she deserves a motherfucking Oscar for this movie. I love musicals. Not afraid to admit it.

My ADHD is so terrible that I have a really hard time staying focused long enough to get any actual writing done. So I have to use hour glasses to keep me from looking at my phone. @gabino.bsky.social said to do the thing tonight, so I'm doing it. (I'm on my six minute break.) #Writers, let's go!

Hey friends! Add me to your author or horror #starterpack, please! Help a writer out!

I'm having con withdrawal. King Con was a blast. Even though it was a few weeks ago, I'm still swimming in the joy.
