Cold Eternity by @authorstaceykade.bsky.social is a twisted, sci-fi horror nightmare where a political fugitive attempting to escape persecution boards a floating cryogenic morgue that houses something far more frightening than frozen corpses. It'll crawl beneath the skin and inside your head!

Run-dont-walk, but, you know, digitally. One of my favorite authors of all time

Cold Eternity ebook is just $2.99 today! (US only) 📚🚀

I will read anything that can be described as "space horror." finished these ones recently. h/t authors @renanbernardo.com, @authorstaceykade.bsky.social, Kali Wallace, and @scottsigler.bsky.social

Here is the text of my keynote from the Bram Stoker Awards ceremony. It was a rant masquerading as a keynote. And in pure Becky fashion it is also a call to action. Why We Need Horror Authors in the Fight For the Freedom to Read: raforall.blogspot.com/2025/06/why-...

On my way to my first StokerCon! So excited to see friends and meet new people. ❤️ Also, check out these panels and my fellow panelists—I’m in absolute awe!

This is, unfortunately, me. 😆 But also when you’re having to speak over full-volume AirPods to get a student’s attention…🤷‍♀️

We're back! To start things off, we had our annual trip to @c2e2.bsky.social. This year, we talked to TJ Klune, Ray Nadine, @authorstaceykade.bsky.social, CMSA eSports & @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social. And we hung out at The Catcade. The Pull List "The Freak" @oni-press.bsky.social/Matt Lesniewski

Thank you so much to @veronicaroth.bsky.social @authorstaceykade.bsky.social and our wonderful moderator Laura for an awesome panel at C2E2!

I fanboyed today like I haven't in years, when I met THE @authorstaceykade.bsky.social for the 1st time! Who very patiently signed my entire towering pile of books, and listened to me gushing about each of the books in turn. It's a treat meeting your fave authors when they're so lovely in person!

Went to the book release event for COLD ETERNITY by @authorstaceykade.bsky.social with @dynamicsymmetry.bsky.social at Fountain Bookstore. Was a lot of fun, and I can’t wait to dive into this sci-fi horror. It sounds so good! #Booksky #amreading #scifi #horror

Latest crochet project! Oishi the sushi. A gift for my oldest niece. This was my most complicated Wooble yet. Three separate pieces. One of my goals this year is to work on a non-writing project every week. Crochet, knitting, or working on a puzzle. Helps me de-stress. #crochet #thewoobles

Ambitious retellings of classic tales and idiosyncratic approaches to historical fantasy abound this year, along with intriguing signs that the grimdark aesthetic may rear its bloody head once more. www.bookpage.com/?p=199569

This might be my favorite episode so far!

Someone is not happy. But his surgery is done, and the doughnut is low-key adorable. ❤️

About once a year, I drift away from journaling/morning pages and then I have to “rediscover” how much they help. 😐 If that’s you too, consider this a short cut! Journaling/morning pages make a difference—it unstops something in my brain. #writing

76/2024 was Cold Eternity by @authorstaceykade.bsky.social and HOW DOES SHE DO IT, how is every book a perfectly pitched space horror, creepy, political and TIMELY? I'm absolutely in awe of Barnes's talents. Pick up her backlist (Dead Silence, Ghost Station) NOW.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok? Signed, a librarian.

Best of 2024: Ghost Station by S.A. Barnes! A gripping wormhole of suspense, where horror meets sci-fi on an abandoned planet. Dr. Ophelia Bray’s journey into the eerie unknown kept me hooked—and the cosmic chills stayed long after. #BestBooks2024 #BookSky @authorstaceykade.bsky.social

Dead Silence by @authorstaceykade.bsky.social (SA Barnes) just blew my mind! 5⭐️ #Space #horror is my kind of #scifi. Do not miss this book! Fabulous #audiobook narration to boot. #BookSky www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Black Friday book stack @sgj.bsky.social @authorstaceykade.bsky.social @carverpike.bsky.social #bookpile #horrorbook

DEAD SILENCE by @authorstaceykade.bsky.social is without a doubt one of the most satisfying science fiction/horror thrillers I've read. The creep factor is off the charts, the science fiction plausible within this universe, and the payoff is extremely satisfying. A MUST READ!!

Netgalley shelf is banging at the moment @authorstaceykade.bsky.social @ronaldmalfi.bsky.social @robertjbennett.bsky.social

You like Sci-fi? You like horror? I'm halfway into DEAD SILENCE by S.A. Barnes and I am creeped the fuck out! This is gooooood!!!

Starting Cold Eternity arc by @authorstaceykade.bsky.social so good right off the bat salt line I see you boo i watch Supernatural 😂

You never feel completely ready to start. You just have to start anyway.

Since there are so many new folks over here these days, it’s time to once again roll out my How to Write a Horror Movie crash course!

I bought a Freewrite Traveler over the summer and had zero time to play with it until now. I’m intrigued but I don’t know if I can draft *that* freely. No spell check, not easy to arrow back to fix misspelled words, etc. Might drive me crazy. Anyone else have experience with the Traveler?

My current read, which I am loving!
