I love The October Film Haunt and will be jumping on @michaelwehunt.bsky.social’s THE INCONSOLABLES as fast as humanly possible! (It’s already on my TBR shelf cuz I love @badhandbooks.bsky.social)

@lairdbarron.bsky.social fans know who Jessica M is - just check the dedication in his last few books - but do you know @jessicamace.bsky.social is here on BlueSky? I've had the good fortune of chatting with her a handful of times and she is AWESOME ⭐

@fangoria.bsky.social sponsoring a horror book giveaway with @simonandschuster.bsky.social?? Easiest decision I've made all day! Giveaway includes books by/from @sgj.bsky.social, @stephenking.bsky.social and @datlow.bsky.social plus some sweet Fango merch! www.simonandschuster.com/p/written-in...

It's challenging to tease out a fave story from SWIFT TO CHASE because the brilliant complexity within any given story from @lairdbarron.bsky.social's prior 3 collections expands and gets distributed among most of the stories in StC. But my #1 might be "Ears Prick Up" which intros cyber war-dog Rex🐕

Snagged this little treasure… SHOCK TOTEM #11, the only source for @joshmalerman.bsky.social’s story “Summertide”! Thank you, Abe Books alerts!

Getting down to the last few unclaimed copies of the limited hardcover of @lairdbarron.bsky.social’s hit collection NOT A SPECK OF LIGHT!

Hell yeah the Bible is scary, and I love it! Going out to nab this book right now! Brandon also wrote HORROR COMICS AND RELIGION, currently on the TBR shelf.

My first time having the title story:

“The Men from Porlock” is a Top Ten horror tale, along with SGJ’s “Father, Son, Holy Rabbit” and Stephen King’s “The Jaunt.” Add in “Hand of Glory,” “Blackwood’s Baby,” “The Siphon”… This book should be on every horror reader’s shelf. “Siphon” has one of the best humans-meet-their-doom scenes ever.

Mysterium Tremendum and the title story are my favorites until I reread “The Broadsword” and “—30—“ which then become my favorites 😵‍💫

@aardvarkbookclub.bsky.social delivers! I got their new original horror anthology, ONE BAD NIGHT, including @sgj.bsky.social's title story! Order yours as part of their monthly book box club at aardvarkbookclub.com/one-bad-nigh...

The only correct answer is ALL OF THEM!! But if I had to choose, probably "The Imago Sequence." In an interview, @lairdbarron.bsky.social commented on the end of the story, clarifying something I had totally missed. It suddenly snapped in place, the final moment of stark horror that ends the tale.

My worlds collide on the cover of this comic book! The @barbaracrampton.bsky.social variant cover of @sgj.bsky.social's TRUE BELIEVERS! Ships 10/13/25 but you can preorder now! fixtstore.com/products/tru...

🤣

A very fun episode of @djmakeamovie.bsky.social! Show this series!

😂

I’ve been running loose in other people’s TLs chattering about @michaelwehunt.bsky.social’s creepy fun novel, October Film Haunt, so, in a rare display of decorum, I’ll say right here that I suspect the sentence “There is a face under the bed in the mirror” (236) is gonna cling to me for a long time

Edgar Allan Poe died at Washington Medical College in Baltimore, Maryland on this day, October 7, 1849. 📖

The lesson of horror anthologies: be nice, no matter what, to the old antique dealer. #TCMParty

Finally giving this one a try, at the recommendation of @michaelwehunt.bsky.social and… maybe @gemmafiles.bsky.social some time ago?

So, the secret is out. Tonight I will not be in the backyard, but outside the trailer crushing a few beers with Joe Bob & Darcy as we watch a terribly maligned film I hope to turn y'all on to the greatness of. Or just watch me get dunked on by Joe Bob. Both are fun! Such a huge honor! I'm chuffed!
