I hate having to wait a whole year for China Miéville’s new book, but I think it will be worth it. www.thebookseller.com/rights/picad...

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

I just noticed that Agatha Christie and Eleanor Rigby rhyme and scan, in case that is of any use to anyone.

Y’all see this riff on Absolute Batman?

Back on them collard greens. Phase 1

Trying to wrap my head around diminished scales and arpeggios, when and where to use them. A GOOD problem

Me and the kids enjoying @johnhornor.bsky.social's latest novel

Somehow I’ve never seen Trancers. Fixing that now. Sheesh, the mc’s name is Jack Deth.

This spooky seafaring tale isn’t completely smooth sailing. www.washingtonindependentreviewofbooks.com/bookreview/t... @putnambooks.bsky.social @johnhornor.bsky.social #booksky

Jasmine, my cat, has an odd interest in JC’s The Thing. So far.

From Book to Film: Wise Blood by Flannery O'Connor (1952 novel) into film (John Huston, 1979, currently streaming on the TCM hub of HBO Max): www.criterion.com/current/post...

Excited about this new arrival in the Tiny Grim Reaper's collection. If the new @johnhornor.bsky.social novel is even close to as good as A Lush and Seething Hell, I'll be one happy reader.

My first novel SOUTHERN GODS gets a mention in the oddest of places: Blues Rock Review bluesrockreview.com/2025/10/the-...

If you're one of those ppl laughing about ppl going hungry I want you to know you're a no count low down bitch made piece of shit

I grew in poverty. My father had to drop out of school when he wad 12 to go to work after his father was killed in a car accident. He worked oj fishing boats while functionally illiterate My mother was not able to go to college so she worked low paying jobs until she was diagnosed

I like chips and occasionally buy them as a treat. Damn if a large bag of Cheetos or Doritos don’t cost 9bucks now. So I’ve resorted to making Arkansas Firecrackers again. $1.79 for a box of saltines and $.85 for ranch mix. Bunch of spices and oil from home. Deloisch.

Attention Mister Chaon @danchaon.bsky.social

The Oklahoman has THE NIGHT THAT FINDS US ALL at #4 of the best selling fiction from, yep, you guessed it, Oklahoma bookstores. I'm right behind Thomas Pynchon at #3 which is pretty cool. A screaming came across the sky. (It was me screaming.) www.oklahoman.com/story/lifest...

Friday night, 9pm, and I’m just chilling here with Jasmine watching a D’Angelo concert. Like you do.

Allow me to present to you THE BLACKWATCH, a 137' Tahitian ketch which is the setting of THE NIGHT THAT FINDS US ALL. I made this linocut a couplathree years ago during the writing of the book and boy howdy, waves are hard to draw. Any way... BUY MY BOOK www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/768056...

Also, yer boy Jakes is over on USA Today listing the scariest book of all time (or at least in my experience). So is @keithrosson.bsky.social and @joe-hill.bsky.social and others. www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

Hey-O! This is a wonderful thing to wake up to! She says, "...with cunning writing engaging me in such a subtle manner [that] the gothic atmosphere had me in its grip and I simply couldn’t put the book down. . . [A] classic gothic sea-tale to curl up and read on a stormy night."

Got my fancy floor lamp dressing up the apartment. It was expensive and I almost like my 79 buck Ikea floor lamp better. Almost.

You ever get the feeling that if you simply listened to D'Angelo's Voodoo on headphones very loudly in all your waking moments your life would be measurably better?

Incredibly bummed that Deathstalker isn’t in any of my local theaters

Publisher looking for booksellers and librarians to follow.

Bertrand Russell was great, but he was literally an earl. There are levels of “calm” and “cool” available to those with status and privilege that work less well, less reliably, for regular people. The idea that everyone can (and must) face down fascism with this kind of equipoise is simply false.

Check this out, now I'm getting phone calls and messages from book promoters (I think) wanting me to buy reviews. I can't make heads or tails of this message but give it a listen and tell me what you think.

Nautical and space horror have special places in my heart. It's not just the isolation, but the idea of being adrift in something vast, unknowable, and hostile. Combine that with @johnhornor.bsky.social's character dense, literary approach to horror, you get The Night That Finds Us All.

"Great fun if you don't require a happy ending." I've had a bunch of dates and relationships like that. My Kirkus starred review for THE NIGHT THAT FINDS US ALL.

Couplafew nights ago I was restless, so I drove 40 miles to the nearest casino (like I have money to waste) and got a 3 hondo bank roll and played craps. I walked out with $680 after an hour and a half. It felt great. I've had the 6 hundred dollar bills sitting on my coffee table staring at me

For some reason they changed the name of this essay/list I created from VEHICULAR HORRORCIDE to something else but the didn't mess with the list itself, I don't think. Thanks to CrimeReads for having me. crimereads.com/your-guide-t...

A reminder that I have "Arkham" embedded in my name. (not that there's anything wrong with that...)

You know who’s an absolute mensch? @scottlynch78.bsky.social that’s who, a man kind enough to send cookies to my Murder By The Book signing with @cshumble.bsky.social ! Thanks Scott!

Hey spooky book fans, my man @johnhornor.bsky.social will be at The Lobby on Delmar today at 4pm with books made available from The Novel Neighbor thenovelneighbor.com/events/35844...

Night 3 of the book tour! I’m in Houston! I’ll be at Murder By The Book signing copies of TNTFUA @ 6:30 talking with @cshumble.bsky.social, who is one of the most lyrical and exciting writers working today. Also, just an amazing and genuine person all around. If you’re in Houston, swing by!

Did you know that Fangoria released a horror movie in the 90s in which a vampire is let loose from an underwater crypt, creating a wave of vamps who sleep submerged in water with their lungs floating outside their body? It's called CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT, starring Karen Black (on Tubi).

I was enjoying my digital review copy of @johnhornor.bsky.social ‘s latest novel, the slow-burn nautical horror The Night That Finds Is All, until it disappeared from my device with 50 pages to go, because yesterday was the pub date. To the bookstore at once! #booksky

Got another one.

Here is my review of The Night That Finds Us All by @johnhornor.bsky.social on @thestorygraph.com. I loved this book especially the performance by narrator Brittany Pressley. app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/fcf1...

About to leave on book tour in support of THE NIGHT THAT FINDS US ALL. I might be obsessing over my cat. To wit:

Lovely review of La Mer Se Rêve En Ciel here. www.benzinemag.net/2025/10/04/l...
