#NoirvemberChallenge Favorite line of dialogue? Quoted endlessly, and for good reason: “I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me.”

Wrote a thing about agents. If you’re a new writer or are actively querying, hope this helps keep you safe! gabinoiglesias.substack.com/p/too-many-s...

It’s #FridayReads time! Let’s boost all signals. Repost this and let us know what to repost for you. I’m sharing this one because it’s very timely, helped me land an agent, was a Stoker nominee, was published in France and Italy, and it’s 30% off! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...

I’m so psyched for this! Right now I’m frantically trying to finish up a few new additions—and there’s also one proposed feature to this release that means so much to me I actually can’t allow myself to think about it until it’s done—but in the meantime, getcher preordering fingers a-whirling!

The paperback is up for pre-order now. I went ahead and ordered one. Yes, I get comps, but it's fun to get one the day it hits because I'm a goofball. www.amazon.com/SNAFU-Contag...

It's SNAFU: Contagion Author Spotlight time! And this time we're dragging Josh Reynolds to Cohesion Press' stage. (He's mostly willing, methinks...) @jmreynolds.bsky.social amandajspedding.com/2025/10/21/s...

Out now as ebook and audiobook (paperback coming later this month) from cohesionpress.com - SNAFU: Contagion, an anthology packed with great stories of military action and horror, including one of my own, "Black Hell Rising." a.co/d/dmsyLIV #shortstories #horror #horrorstories #booksky

Thank you, @ajspedding.bsky.social.

Now is a great time to read either of my novellas. And I'd like to ask folks who have, if they get a moment, to drop a review in the usual places. It would mean a lot to me.

Let's do this! #FridayReads Darcroft Island came out this Tuesday. Queer horror in the 50s, what could go wrong? darkgodspress.com/books/

Thanks @gabino.bsky.social — if you haven't already, friends, consider picking up a copy of WHAT THE DEAD CAN DO at your local Barnes & Noble this weekend. I'd really like to get my next book published, and based on how fucked up it is so far, you won't be sorry that you help me get it published! 😱

Thanks, Gabino! I’m currently busy with short stories but dig this: William, a wildlife biologist battling inner demons, faces terrifying flashbacks and a violent entity after a DMT session goes wrong, forcing him into a life-or-death confrontation in Colorado’s wilderness. a.co/d/1FN2itN
