Just heard from my new apartment that they don’t let more than one dog in the kind of unit I’m renting. They’re gonna contact the landlord about making an exception but… not holding my fucking breath 🫠

Wrote a thing about SOV horror for Fangoria!

my friend @ahilbert3000.bsky.social doodled me as one of his deranged sonic characters in preparation of this month's ha! ha! storytime @ radio coffee & beer in south austin

how the hell does this stray street dog already have separation anxiety about me 😭

not friends yet but certainly walking acquaintances

one of my biggest regrets with my writing career is not publishing under a pseudonym. it's too late for me at this point, but if you're just starting out and feel on the fence about it, LET THIS POST CONVINCE YOU. do not let the internet know your legal name. you will always regret it.

all my homies hate eli roth

gonna take a lot of time and patience and separation and supervised cohabitation for Frank to tolerate the new puppy. our first night together was hell. 🫠

police non-emergency dispatch unsurprisingly a condescending asshole to me, but at least she kept calling me ma'am? now i don't know how to feel

Hi everyone. Meet Winnie. We just fostered her this morning with the intention to keep if she and Loulie become besties. Don’t mind Loulie’s eyebrows: they were napping on the couch together an hour ago. @interrobangbus.bsky.social made me do it 😭

I don't know what everyone's complaining about. Just go to settings > features > worms, then change the "worms pouring out of my phone" toggle from "yes" to "maybe later"

Repost the Leather Dachshund from Seattle Pride 1991 to be blessed this Pride Month!

good morning from the bookshop sleepover gang

too many nights lately of being too tired to think a coherent sentence much less work on a project

it's been like half a decade since I've had an actual puppy. I forgot how much goddamn energy they build up. also, I did not expect having to shout, "Columbo, no!" so many times this weekend

me, pretending to know anything about guns, seconds before someone shoots me in the face: "Ah, I see you're wielding a .59 Hawk Platinum. As I recall, this specific handgun hits capacity at twelve bullets. And, if my memory serves me right, I believe I already counted a dozen shots. Which means—"

Going out of print today. Propeller Hats was my first "hit" (some coverage in the trades and the only Starred Review at Publishers Weekly I'll probably ever get). Guitar Case was what they call "autofiction," and it never really found its audience, but it might be my favorite. Thanks, PMMP.

Behold! Evangeline Gallagher's cover art for Madeline Blondeau’s PENITENTS, a debut trans tribute to New French Extreme cinema and ’70s grindhouse horror, coming later this summer from Ghoulish Books. Thanks to Rue Morgue for hosting us! rue-morgue.com/exclusive-co...

dog walk on the river walk

yes YES YES YES

ko-fi.com/interrobangb... help max booth escape texas! texas is very unsafe for trans women in particular! donate what you can if you can as much as you can, and if you can't donate, share and boost with those who can donate!

It would be a really awesome way to start pride month if we could help Max reach her goal, esp with the new family member 💖🏳️‍⚧️🐕

Donate to a local trans ghoul for pride

oh god

night 5

Please share this. I don’t think the pride center has a presence on bluesky and they could use all the help they can get. A deeply necessary resource. Their existence is essential.

another day of bookselling complete

bookshop has been packed since I opened 4.5 hrs ago and we've not had much opportunity to step away from the desk. columbo is leaping up and down with crazed puppy energy. just fed him some baby carrots and he started tossing them with his mouth then slowly goofily pouncing on them like they're prey

today is the last day to buy the anthologies LOST SIGNALS, LOST FILMS, & LOST CONTACT. also the pizza horror antho TALES FROM THE CRUST. these four books will never be reprinted. buy them wherever you can find them (I recommend bookshop dot org). ebooks also available at ghoulish.rip until midnight

jesus fucking christ if you're in a very crowded business and notice a dog barricaded in a specific spot do not MOVE THE BARRICADE AND LET THE DOG OUT because you saw updates about him online and "wanted to see him"

The end of Perpetual Motion (I know, right?) means that after today Tales from the Crust, the most notorious anthology I've ever worked on, goes out of print. I'd recommend snagging it. I panicked and bought a box of them so I guess this is what we'll be eating for awhile.

getting my backrooms blown out

I still love my @ghoulish.bsky.social anti book banning tshirt. I wear that shit to the library whenever possible

i actually don't know his breed. i'm assuming a terrier of some sort, probably mixed? very curious how big he'll end up getting. he's got some decently sized paws...

columbo after hearing how many projects i need to finish today

night 4

oh shit, didn't realize this went live today. anyway, I wrote a thing about SOV horror for fangoria!

columbo's sitting by the bookshop door watching all the cars pass honking their horns in celebration of tonight's spurs victory. he loves it. little freak

drove around the city at night blasting “electric avenue” while drinking a big iced coffee with Columbo riding shotgun enjoying a pup cup

Max is such an impactful part of the horror community, and she's one of the people who inspired me to give writing a shot tbqh. If you can, please support her next move!

Columbo update: He just returned from an afternoon at Paw Pet's Glam in Southtown and he is thrilled to be clean and trimmed and no longer living on the street. They did great work!

my first piece for The Lineup just went live! I'm talking about TWIN PEAKS books. incredibly excited editorial didn't omit the part at the end where I linked to ao3 fan fiction of Cooper and Truman banging each other. blessed 😘 the-line-up.com/a-comprehens...

Just dropped Columbo off at a dog groomer to help clean up some of his street filth and they literally have a mural for him painted on the front of the building???

had to stop at the house this morning for the first time in several days and Frank is VERY CURIOUS about my mysterious new smells

night 3

Well I had zero intention of adopting a new dog right now a month before moving to Minnesota, but life had “just one more thing” for me, so uhhh … everybody, meet Columbo.

please help Max with money not only to take care of this adorable stray puppy but also for her relocation to Minnesota 💸💖🖖🏻
