The people, the awards ceremony, the horror love infusing every seam and corner...I am sad but I hope everyone has an amazing time in Pittsburgh. ♥️

Help make this happen! There's never enough found footage fiction, and Merc is a great choice to helm this project.

Trying the trope trend for the first time. Early reactions to NIGHTJARS have been so good that I must find time to crawl out of the woods and yell about this novel more often. Out 9/29 from @stmartinspress.bsky.social. Pre-orders are *huge* for authors, if you find yourself intrigued. 🖤

Today and tomorrow are the last chances to enter the Goodreads giveaway for a free paperback ARC of NIGHTJARS! Smear some blood on your face: www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

Look at Nightjars haunting page 2 of NetGalley's most requested books across all genres! 👀

We are 131 petitions short of 17,000 signatures. Please sign & share.

Was so excited I didn't even say the name of the book: it's NIGHTJARS by Michael Wehunt and you should absolutely preorder it (and get his other books, like GREENER PASTURES, THE INCONSOLABLES, and THE OCTOBER FILM HAUNT because they are all STELLAR.)

So glad that Mother Suspiria is an early nightjar getting this worm.

Greg put all my books together with the Nightjars ARC before I thought to! I think that means I legally have to give him all the IP rights.

Ep 119 from @fangoria.bsky.social We discuss new films OBSESSION, BUFFET INFINITY, KINKI, SACCHARINE, BLOOD & RUST, as well as shows IF WISHES COULD KILL, WIDOWS BAY, THE TERROR. We are then joined by @michaelwehunt.bsky.social to discuss his new book NIGHTJARS podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

I'm a guest on the new episode of Fangoria's @colorsofthedark.bsky.social! RE: my upcoming novel Nightjars, film recs with clues + vibes. Plus The October Film Haunt, short stories, writing in general. Listen here via your podcast platform (I show up at minute 48): www.fangoria.com/podcasts/col...

I almost choked on my grits when I learned The October Film Haunt is a Georgia Author of the Year nominee. www.authoroftheyear.org/2026-nominee...

@michaelwehunt.bsky.social darkens Kendall Reviews door with Nightjars. Memento meets Dracula in this heart-thudding novel of a man exposed for crimes he doesn't remember committing, and the monsters that dwell at the heart of us all. Published 29/9/2026

Instantly the top of the TBR list. I've thoroughly enjoyed everything else by @michaelwehunt.bsky.social and every indication is that this is his best work yet.

Pretty $@#%ing proud of this

Thrilled to slip these darknesses into the world again early next year. New edition = a new foreword by [incredible writer's name redacted], a new story addition, and a new cover. Complete with the original @slimyswampghost.bsky.social illustrations. Pre-order in the post below. 🖤

Was gonna take a break from video collage review surrealism whatever it is but then I watched ‘Lost Highway’ and ‘Remote Control’ back-to-back and decided instead to have a crack at ‘The October Film Haunt’ by @michaelwehunt.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFMa...

Beautiful cursed ARCs. Tried a mirror shot in the last photo and...the books had no reflection?? 😨 Nightjars is coming 9/29 from St. Martin's Press - the nights are jarringly flitting by.

Last weekend, I got to visit with horror greats Nathan Ballingrud & @michaelwehunt.bsky.social, Michael's partner Natalia, and my friend Edward Meehan! Had a wonderful time talking horror, writing, publishing, and music. Excited to hear there're more stories from Nathan & Michael in the pipeline! 🎃

Be one of the first to get some blood on your teeth! Enter to win one of 25 paperback ARCs of Nightjars. Giveaway ends May 31: www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

got approved for an eARC of NIGHTJARS by @michaelwehunt.bsky.social 😭 it doesn't come out until september but idk that i can wait months to read it. October Film Haunt was my best horror of 2025 🩸📚

A Nightjars moment, out of horrific context. September 29 is crawling and rushing closer.

Listen to our latest episode! In this interview, we chat with Cassidy McFadzean (@cassidymcfadzean.bsky.social) about skewing prepositions, trusting the reader, opting for vibes over plot, and so much more. tinyurl.com/48fwkktn @houseofanansi.bsky.social

Surreal to see this 10-year retrospective on my collection, Greener Pastures. Moving, too, as I teared up reading it just now, thinking back on where I was then and what I was (and have been) trying to do. Thank you, Mr. November and The Blog Without a Face. theblogwithoutaface.com/2026/04/01/1...

My debut horror collection, Greener Pastures, is 10 (!!!) years old today. That’s pushing 250 in book age, but it is still finding readers all these years later. And I’m still blubberingly grateful.

Dirty Three, Atlanta, 3/28/26 - wonderful show - the drummer, Jim White, seems to be staring directly at me in the photo I took

One of my favorite bookstores that I haven't visited yet...emphasis on the "yet." Beautiful to see The October Film Haunt in the front window of Little Ghosts in Toronto.

ICYMI: @mikethorn.bsky.social and I had a riveting conversation with @michaelwehunt.bsky.social on the latest episode of @craftworkpod.bsky.social. We spoke about "earthy" writing, rendering dread on the page, the unanticipated weirdness of public selfhood, and so much more. tinyurl.com/cjv95742

The new episode of @craftworkpod.bsky.social is live! Mike and Miriam focus their podcast on just that — the craft of the work of writing — so I was honored and nerding out during our great conversation. Deep-ish and fun and hopefully a tiny bit insightful. creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

It would have been amazing to see Sinners win a few more Oscars, but what a bold and warm glow of recognition it received. A remarkable film built from so many remarkable efforts and talents. Horror has a unique power to resonate, especially in a hollow, horrific world.

Tomorrow is the last day to vote in the Bram Stoker Awards. My novel The October Film Haunt is a nominee in the First Novel category, and it’s a crazy honor. Thank you to all the voting members who got the Pine Arch Creature this far, and if you want a last-minute read, DM me for a digital copy! ♥️

Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman

This is some dark, sick shit. Our kids deserve a better country than this. We all deserve a better world than this. We have no choice but to defund and dismantle DHS and ICE, and prosecute every ghoul who brought us to this terrible place. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Hey, this was one of my favorite books of last year. Please support an awesome horror novel and an equally awesome author!

I've been away, strained, offline but still news-stabbed, physically sick, and emotionally gutted by this world and its injustice and corruption and evil and war and rot, but to everyone out there with a good heart on the right side of history, I love you and have you collectively in my thoughts.

HWA voting members! The October Film Haunt is a Stoker Award Finalist in the First Novel category, and per the etiquette and rules found in a tomb in the woods, I'm offering a free digital copy for your consideration - feel free to DM me. I couldn't be more honored to be on this ballot. 📼♥️

Looking forward to this. Great premise, great writer.

Our world is crawling with monstrous evil.

A lovely *starred* Library Journal review for The October Film Haunt audiobook! So grateful for Zura and Tim's amazing talents with this narration.

Goodreads ARC giveaway! The early nightjar gets the worm. "Memento meets Dracula in this heart-thudding, unpredictable, and beautifully crafted novel of a man exposed for crimes he doesn’t remember committing, and the monsters that dwell at the heart of us all." www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

This duet cover of Radiohead's "Creep", between a son and his Shastriya Sangeet classically trained mother, is the mash-up I didn't know how much I needed in my life. Totally spontaneous sobbing may have taken place. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZoH...

I stand by my assessment that it's the modern successor to The Great and Secret Show in terms of what it says about the interplay of art, life, emotion, and the people who experience those things.

This book is so good! I'll pick up any horror novel about any kind of weird/lost/cursed/found film, and this one did not disappoint.

The October Film Haunt is an official Stoker Award Finalist, according to the spindly thing that found my hiding place deep in the woods. Who knew the Pine Arch Creature could grin like this! Thank you to all who voted, and congratulations to each and every artist on the full, gobsmacked ballot.

Profound and dangerous stupidity

Found behind a gravestone in North Georgia, tucked in the pocket of a blood-soaked jean jacket. My new novel crawls out of the dark 9/29/26 from St. Martin's Press.
