My latest Amazing Stories column. As we pass out of the 1/4 of the 21st century these are 23 underrated speculative fiction works. Weird and under the radar a few are out of print. All amazing. Featuring works by @brianevenson.bsky.social @jamesreich.bsky.social @sbdivya.bsky.social...

I wish all my friends and family would stop calling me an old grandpa. And also get off of my lawn.

@kozeniewski.bsky.social What advantages does this motorcar have over say a train? Which I could also afford.

Kids, @briankeene.bsky.social, @marysangiovanni.bsky.social, family meeting! There’s too much passing gas in this house. So from now on any time you’ve got to cut one, you pull your pants down and do it through this fart hole.

Wonders... we're surrounded by wonders... That phone in your pocket could power a rocket. But what does the military have? Look around & be amazed, @briankeene.bsky.social @kozeniewski.bsky.social That pad on your lap could buy a shirt at the Gap. But what does the military have?

Goddamn, that's a beautiful sight. With @kozeniewski.bsky.social and @briankeene.bsky.social . Thank you so much, gents. We really did it. mybook.to/KPETL

Heading to #WorldFantasyCon this year? We’d love to hear your pitches for #scifi, #horror, and some #fantasy. frenchpresspub.blogspot.com/2025/10/atte...

Oh, @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social, I meant to tell you, an author who wrote a deep, loving analysis of all of @briankeene.bsky.social’s books approached me not long ago. It was thrilling to be able to publish that! I’d love to do the same for you. Has…has anyone written anything like that for you?

My feet aren't yet under me, but I'm reading some shorter works for now-I'm hip deep in Looney from @kozeniewski.bsky.social and @gavindillinger.bsky.social ; Five Raging Hearts is heading for an end of November release; & last night I started a new story for the first time in months=more to come...

“If you're a fan of my work, you should have this on your shelf. Your collection is incomplete without it.” — Brian Keene EXPLORING THE LABYRINTH by @kitgonzo.bsky.social Introduction by @ericlarocca.bsky.social PAPERBACK: Amazon / B&N EBOOK: Kindle / Nook www.briankeene.com/news/explori...

Do whatever @marysangiovanni.bsky.social says, @kozeniewski.bsky.social or next thing you know, she’ll be counting your beers at a wedding.

Absolutely blown away to announce that I'm a BFS Award nominee for the *third time*(!!!); Millionaires Day is the most ambitious book I've ever written, and I'm so happy it's found an appreciative audience. Thank you!!! britishfantasysociety.org/british-fant...

About to take The Long Walk with @marysangiovanni.bsky.social @texascthulhu.bsky.social @wesleysouthard.bsky.social @kozeniewski.bsky.social and Dacia Arnold.

Still trying to organize all these books since I picked up a few more when I visited @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social 😊 Think most of @briankeene.bsky.social books are organized along with @marysangiovanni.bsky.social, @somercanon.bsky.social @mattwildasin.bsky.social, @kozeniewski.bsky.social,...

Werewolf? There Wolf!! Strange New Moons: Fresh Take on Werewolves A new book review from Ben Unsworth. Featuring stories from @melina22.bsky.social @somercanon.bsky.social gnofhorror.com/strange-new-... @kozeniewski.bsky.social 📚💙🩸

Wizard Robot and His Less Successful Friend will be back after these messages!

Aah! We're in a real jar of jam this time, Wizard Robot (@briankeene.bsky.social)!

Wrong photo!

Where? Please advise.

@kozeniewski.bsky.social Out of mayonnaise. Please advise.

(3/3) 💀 Don’t miss our full chat: www.ericarobynreads.com/interview-wi... Huge thanks again to Steve for taking the time!

(2/3) Steve’s ability to blend horror, humor, and raw human emotion is just unreal. From raising the dead to exploring life’s biggest questions, his writing always hits hard. He’s got a range most writers can only dream of, and I was SO thrilled to dive into this interview with him!

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know how much I adore Stephen Kozeniewski’s work... So this interview was seriously overdue! (1/3) @kozeniewski.bsky.social

Would it be a good idea if I set my next book entirely in a mushroom, @briankeene.bsky.social @marysangiovanni.bsky.social? I wouldn’t reveal it until the last page, but the title would be MUSHROOM SURPRISE.

This blood analyzer says you’re Artie Bucco, @briankeene.bsky.social.

Not sure this was the publicity @kozeniewski.bsky.social wanted for his book

I know I don’t get out there often enough, but this weekend I’m really going to make a concerted effort to hang out at @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social. What’s on the docket, @briankeene.bsky.social and @marysangiovanni.bsky.social? Magic: The Gathering? Book Club? I’ll be down in half an hour.

I see puns all day so I'm not sure why I'm so charmed by this one. But...I am. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97986...
