On day three of Christmas (really more like two and a half) we watch Black Christmas (1974) with nothing but the multicolored lights on and Brady’s (the real ones know) in our favorite winter mug before everyone else is awake.

On the second day of Christmas we drink delicious americanos at the ol’ coffeeshop with friends hubbing through the hometown.

Merry Creepmas!

We've got some incredible new books headed your way in 2026! Take a look and pre-order copies now during our holiday sale and save 40%!

Sincerely hoping more people are down with celebrating the Twelve Days of Christmas because our holiday cards will probably be delivered around the time that the two turtle doves or the three French hens arrive.... youtu.be/EDBMzGq1vhs?...

Halloweek Dark Arts & Crafts: Part II - spooky bookmarks from scrap paper!

First Halloween craft of Halloweek complete! I burnished these cast black witch boots and I could not be more pleased. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the all black look, but when used as decor, they had a tendency to fade into their surroundings.

AI-generated "books" are flooding Amazon and other online retailers. Here is a regular reminder: Take note of who published the books you read or buy. Presses are perhaps more important than ever in helping identify trustworthy resources in a failing information ecosystem.

"Inviting readers into a relationship with the people who make their books feels beneficial to the whole ecosystem, and in my experience the catalog often feels like a prominent way to achieve that sense of connection..." - Loved reading this piece by @derekkrissoff.bsky.social this morning!

Currently Watching: Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983).

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!

This is essential reading. I will also be picking up Macy's book PAPER GIRL that just came out on the 7th.

Since it is the first day of October AND Witchy Wednesday, I thought we could try something different and fun - a look at the Halloween reading lists for the Sanderson Sisters! Which reading list do you like? Does it match up with your favorite sister?

Dear publishers: Hello! Wanted to say I’m a little tired of dark academia novels set in Ivy League schools and would love to edit an anthology of dark academia set in universities across the world, in local community colleges, and online. I have a PhD and everything! Let’s talk.

ICYMI: Viking will publish a new five-book series this Halloween, featuring literary horror writing of the 20th century 👇 #BookSky

I am so proud of the work we do at OUP. To be part of this legacy in my home state, growing up surrounded by University of Oklahoma Press spines, it's truly hard to put into words the amount of pride and respect I have for our books and my colleagues. #ReadOn

Currently Watching: Dressing Up Halloween: The Story of Ben Cooper, Inc. (2024).

Can we make #CelestialSunday more of a thing?

I keep telling y'all, we're doing some awesome work at OU Press. I'm so proud to work here! And three cheers for Wilson's closing lines - "Long may university presses thrive: large, medium, small, the whole caboodle! Buy a university press book this week."

Just going to give up the ghost that my work bookshelf is organized in any way, shape, or form beyond “vibes”.
