A melting into author goo moment: NIGHTJARS has received a starred review from Library Journal! I love this description so much, but *mild spoiler alert* for those who like to stay entirely in the dark. The wait for September 29 gets itchier every day.

@michaelwehunt.bsky.social what did you put in this book man? I can't put it down.

Made this to leave as a comment under garbage rather than waste precious time arguing with idiots/bots. I don’t know who the original artist was, but feel free to steal it for yourself!

Two of our ebooks feature art by the amazing @slimyswampghost.bsky.social: NOT A SPECK OF LIGHT by @lairdbarron.bsky.social and THE INCONSOLABLES by @michaelwehunt.bsky.social. Get em on sale for a limited time.

You have no memory of this. There is only a blank spot. But a photo can't lie.........right? Nightjars calling 9/29/26 from @stmartinspress.bsky.social. read.macmillan.com/lp/nightjars...

A legend, a presence who gave my heart a lift whenever he appeared on the screen, a versatile actor who always embraced the horror genre. 78 is too young, and it sure does feel like the good ones die before the villains. Rest well, Sam Neill.

I'm a third of the way through @michaelwehunt.bsky.social's upcoming Nightjars (hooray for Netgalley ARCs) and y'all? This book has me by the THROAT.

I have never preordered so many books before. I can’t stop. In no particular order: The Unhaunting by @micaiahjohnson.bsky.social Nightjars by @michaelwehunt.bsky.social The Minimalist by @kaileepedersen.bsky.social Crone by @keithrosson.bsky.social [1/2]

It IS a good time

Better late than never: 1600 spoilery words at @popheist.com on what frightened me the most about OBSESSION, a movie about the emptiness we ignore in ourselves and perpetuate in others.

It wasp the best of times, it wasp the worst of times.

In light of the Supreme Court further attacking the trans community today, I wanted to shine my small light on this beautiful, harrowing, hopeful, wrenching book. These essays depict the horror genre as a beloved life raft during desolate times, and we should remember that as we read and write it.

Time is flying by, especially the nights. September 29th from @stmartinspress.bsky.social. read.macmillan.com/lp/nightjars...

Some nice words about Nightjars (spoiler warning for the first half or so of the novel) and two other horrific books here. Thanks so much, Dave!

Two days left to submit stories to [RECORDED]! 👀 duotrope.com/duosuma/subm...

The rise of AI-generated animal videos and images is such a travesty. Animal content has always been one of the best things about the internet and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell what’s real

Yes, exactly! I actually wrote a piece about him that was published today, and referenced a Jackson quote 😁 bsky.app/profile/deep...

Happy 112th birthday to Robert Aickman. Not like we're counting. As he said himself, "There are no beautiful clocks. Everything to do with time is hideous."

The October Film Haunt has won a Georgia Author of the Year Award! Another beautiful feather in its cursed cap to go with the recent Bram Stoker Award win. Surreal and just lovely. Thank you to the judges and to the red Georgia clay in my blood. www.authoroftheyear.org/2026winners

#pbarb2026books THE OCTOBER FILM HAUNT by @michaelwehunt.bsky.social. Like the best of Wehunt’s short fiction, this starts out unsettling in one way and ends unsettling you in a whole different and enriched way. Of course, I will forever and always be a sucker for a good cursed media tale.

Sam Araya is one of the most consistently amazing horror artists alive today

I'm almost done reading this, and I will tell you now that you're going to want a copy— it's great, unique, and VERY creepy— so why not get a SIGNED one:

Snap up this fresh edition of THE INCONSOLABLES by @michaelwehunt.bsky.social, winner of the Stoker award for First Horror Novel for THE OCTOBER FILM HAUNT!

Genuinely excited about this. It will be my first reissue, which feels like a real milestone, and we want to do it right and in an accessible way.

Male scissor-tailed nightjars make many strange noises in the dark, South American night. One of them seems to be from turning their wing bones into cymbals. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/nightjar-birds-crack-wings-together

Absolutely love Beetle Moses!

A very good novel. I like it a lot, and glad to see it win.

I'm pretty floored that I seem to have won a Bram Stoker Award for First Novel! 😱 Thank you to everyone who voted for The October Film Haunt, and congratulations to all the winners and nominees. What a ballot and what a horror community!

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.

The good word from the Bad Hand

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. 🖤

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.
