Hit the ER for a pain shot and the PA told me there’d be ‘software’ running in the background. You mean AI, I said. Yeah, he said. Turn it off, I said. Rolled his eyes and pretended to kill it, said it’s inevitable. No it isn’t, I said. Pretty sure they’ll refuse treatment for declining soon.

Liz Braswell and @theguardinian.bsky.social have taken on the tricky task of adapting 'Labyrinth'. Have they captured the magic of the original, and the size of David Bowie’s codpiece? Out now Read the SFBook review: sfbook.com/jim-hensons-... Thank you @titanbooks.bsky.social

Out in trade paperback today, from @sagapressbooks.bsky.social. Well, from them and Good Stab. And sort of me.

Where did your love of video games start? For me it was playing Joust at the local Pizza Hut in the early 1980s. Order the pie and burn through quarters while we waited on them to cook it.

Really enjoying the new Cape Fear, tickling at my crime chops, though I don’t remember those kids being this horrible. What a nightmare.

Proud to announce the audiobook release of Scream Like a Prayer, produced by @manorhq.com @rockcapuano.bsky.social and read by the talented Andrew Gibson, now available on Audible. Absolutely love it. www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRP17DX...

If the new Running Man put a dent in my staunch resistance to remakes then I think this new Little House might’ve caved it in completely.

No matter what I play on Tubi, three flicks later the auto play will having me watching Merlin. Never fails.

Wouldn’t say ST’s metal but good to see them touring again, maybe a new album soon parade.com/news/suicida...

Love when something I’ve seen my whole life gets painted this way, like a camera made of words, spot-on in my head

I’ve got four copies of HUDSON HOUSE. I will mail a copy to you anywhere in the continental US if you buy anyone of my books—paperback—and send a screenshot of the order to [email protected]. My books are on Amazon, Barnes, and @bookshop.org and @sobelobooks.bsky.social

Great story here. If you love The Burbs, this one’s for you.

Just received the two titles I’m reloading to replace the two I’m finishing up. And the hits just keep coming

Waiting for that Little House on the Prairie episode where there’s a race to see who can hammer a stake into the ground the fastest. Needed for notes/this opening.

One of my favorites, apt day too youtu.be/CMMXrNPjKAw?...

A free trip to Santa Carla on Tubi right now, maybe dangle from a railroad track for a bit

Found my weekend read

Good day to fire up this audiobook

"Many of them were reportedly sporting moustaches, cat whiskers, and had 'ratero', the Spanish word for 'thief', scribbled on their faces by the anonymous crime hunter."

No sugar on top, this one was scary, had my heart racing those last 20 minutes. Put it up there with White Noise for sure.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a new book published. There’s no one reason for that. I just want to say, mostly to myself, that I’m far from done. Also feel it’s worth noting I’ve written 15 books that most people haven’t read. So I do in fact have new stuff out there right now. A lot of it.

Dear Lee Cronin: I would like a refund

Such a bummer screenrant.com/new-hulk-rep...

Gratitude all around, my dude. Yup, Scream Like a Prayer audiobook is a lock, coming very soon, and @rockcapuano.bsky.social @manorhq.com made it happen. Read by the extremely talented Andrew Gibson 🙌

A fun night with @danielkraus.com (his one and ONLY tour stop for this book!) and @stephengrahamjones.com talking THE SIXTH NIK (which is so so good!), Pulitzers, Greenlandic words, cover art, whales of course, and ingrown hairs. Thank you Tattered Cover for hosting!

We are pleased to announce the first audiobook produced through our MANOR Books & Audiobooks division has wrapped. MANOR Audiobooks proudly presents the forthcoming audiobook version of… SCREAM LIKE A PRAYER by S.H. Mansouri @shmansouri.bsky.social Performed by Andrew Gibson Coming soon!

That Percy Jackson kid’s gotta pretty good show, digging it

All eyes for Ears here! And keep reading because that Growing Up Dead news is aces.

As a completely average student, who got kicked out of college for a semester because my grades were so bad, I’ve found that consistency means more than talent, in the long run, every time.

Think Locus included mention of a weird western novelette I wrote like four score ago, but this is the first printed review of my debut novel. Nice to see.

Arcs hit this morning, making room for them
