#AWP25 haul. Books by: @gracelp.bsky.social @samuelashworth.bsky.social @zoebossiere.bsky.social @andrewbertaina.bsky.social @aaronburch.bsky.social @kevinrmaloney.bsky.social @dtrobbins.bsky.social @wwwwkurtcom.bsky.social (among others)

"My buddy, DT, texts me and our other buddy, Kevin, that he has an idea. I have an idea, he texts." Like a year ago, @dtrobbins.bsky.social texted me & @kevinrmaloney.bsky.social about writing a book, which turned into KFF, but first I wrote this, which now is like origin story/bonus material.

babe, wake up! @kevinmkearney.bsky.social's novel, FREELANCE, is available for pre-order!!! asterismbooks.com/product/free...

Nobody brings the big, beautiful, unruly, grotesque prose like D.T. Robbins. So stoked to publish his newest, "Like a Tsunami Barreling Toward the Shore," up today over at @poolpartymag.com 🔥

If you love horror like me, this one is a thing of nightmares 🫨

coming out of obscurity today to share my first straightforward attempt at horror and to say thank you to @kevinrmaloney.bsky.social and @femmeintheory.bsky.social for publishing this over at @poolpartymag.com. hope y'all enjoy it.

Wrote my first legit, straightforward horror short story. Celebrating by overly critiquing it and believing it to be utter ass until someone accepts it. Thanks.

gulped this down in one sitting. i really needed something gruff and irreverent and droll. thanks for writing it @dtrobbins.bsky.social

only 2 copies of LEASING left at Asterism! asterismbooks.com/product/leas...

I’m about to watch The Crow remake. Am I depressed?

Just watched a Tik Tok of this third grader crying because everyone in his class except him got invited to some other kid’s birthday party, and now my whole day is ruined.

today is my birthday and my family put up this sign to tell me how old I am now please go buy my book to wish me a happy birthday and make me famous and rich tysm (a.co/d/hkhgbVw)

happy birthday @dtrobbins.bsky.social, who appears in my next book, & also to my brother, who I don't have much of a relationship with, a fact I almost never even think about, oh yeah, also, have you read my novel, about two brothers who don't have much of a relationship? americanbuffalobooks.org

I DID IT!!

I guess you could say my person style is: never knowing what my personal style is but always one step away from an actual, literal existential crisis. I do own a lot of rad shoes and pants tho.

heading to the post office today to ship some of these beautifies out. hmu if you wanna cop one 143 ily buh-bye bbz

This book is really special. Can’t recommend these stories enough. Get it as soon as you can!!!

Oh hey what's this??? Check out my book trailer for HORSE GIRL FEVER over at @vol1brooklyn.bsky.social 🔥🔥🔥 www.vol1brooklyn.com/2024/12/10/h...

Got a bunch of copies of LEASING! $16 shipped, signed, and with some biznus cards! HMU FOO!

Really nice people saying really nice things about LEASING makes me really happy.

Just learned about filial laws. Feel like I’ve got a whole-ass novel already written in my head about this.

drinking Winter Lager, grilling smash burgers, and listening to Christmas music. I’m so fucking punk.

every time I read mainstream, popular fiction, I get pissed off and depressed because of how boring and bland the thing is.

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO PREORDER GIRL ON GIRL BY @emilylauracosta.bsky.social!! rejectionletters.bigcartel.com/product/girl...

if my book doesn’t win some kind of award, you’re all dead to me (respectfully)

Stand by this. Get Sean’s book!!

I wanna watch Heretic so bad.

my favorite new(ish) addition to the horror genre is all the children’s characters (Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Popeye, Peter Pan) becoming absolutely un-fucking-hinged killers.

I will never like Father John Misty. NEVER.

starting a starter pack for all the WIPs I never finished

If you're like me, you're probably saying, "Wait, I'm already supposed to be motherfucking Xmas shopping?" Luckily @clashbooks.bsky.social & @rejectionlit.bsky.social have taken the guesswork out of Xmas. The "Story Collection 3x Pre-Order" is the perfect gift for mom, Nana & your weird nephew Timmy

whenever people call me delusional, I just remember that they're not real

my favorite part about being a writer who has kids is watching horror on the faces of my writers without kids as I explain to them the everyday shit I deal with.

making sure my macros are on point so I can be a more better writer

lifting heavy and eating a lot and putting on size and growing my beard long to look like Santa Claus has been really fun until I remembered that I have a 5k race I’m running in less than a month.

the one thing that’s missing from bluesky that Twitter still has going for it is the incessant passive aggressive subtweeting.
