once again, the NYT readerbase is Not Buying It from Ezra Klein. rarely do I see a comment section so poised so vehemently against an op-ed — especially not one from a liberal. Sorry Ezra

Today's the day! Gorman's House is officially out! It's an absolutely stacked release day for horror books and I'm super stoked to be sharing this day alongside so many of my writing idols!

Angel Down by Daniel Kraus is probably my favorite book of 2025 so far. I've never been so inspired to write run-on sentences. #booksky 📚

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

#HorrorWritersChat q3 Rare and strained

#HorrorWritersChat q2 Most of my characters are pretty unsentimental. But my knight errant (A Knight Errant) and neo-noir detective (Hampton Heights) have a similar sense of duty that would draw them together

#HorrorWritersChat Hi, I'm Ryan. I write horror and dark fantasy. If I had to pick three that I hope for they'd be "visceral," "memorable," and "honest."

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached. They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others. Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further. #UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.

Look, you can say a lot about Hogan's legacy: he was racist, he was terrible to his colleagues, he put himself above other people, he firmly believed in the supremacy of white people, he was a bad wrestler, his life was a net negative for society. That's it. That's the post.

#HorrorWritersChat I'm a small town fan all the way through but I'm also going to throw a vote the way of spooky old university.

#HorrorWritersChat "Ok," I say. It's silent. It's awkward. He waits. It's awkward some more. He leaves. The s'mores are good.

#HorrorWritersChat q2 A local one for my Wisconsin folks, the hodag. I would love a hodag story where it's not actually a hoax, it's a beloved local creature being protected from the wider public by a tight-knit community

#HorrorWritersChat Hello all, I'm Ryan. I write all kinds of horror and dark fantasy. What scared me the most as a kid was when I stumbled on a conspiracy website about grey aliens taking over our world and I was absolutely convinced it was true. The early 2000s was a great time for the internet

Something about me is that I hate a sunny beach. I'm a foggy, moody, cold-weather bitch and these are the perfect beach reads for me!

there's an added layer of irony here that the article itself was removed by vice (otherwise known for its left-leaning politics) for its "uncomfortable material." not journalistic integrity, but discomfort. the right as "purity," the left has moralized "comfort." the outcome is the same.

everything from "this makes me uncomfortable so it should not exist," to "the fact this exists in fiction at all is endorsement," to "this fiction physically hurt me." at some point the dots need to be connected and we should speak candidly about how pervasive this has become. it's (everywhere.)

read this yesterday and it left me with a sinking feeling about how successful this ideology has been in infiltrating everything from corporatized media to fandom and independent publishing. every awful thing in this article attributed to the far right has been said to me by left-leaning queer folk.

#HorrorWritersChat Thank you @marywyrd.bsky.social! The horror anthology I'm in is the number 1 new release on Amazon for the last couple of weeks--it would be awesome if some of the incredibly talented folks on this chat have a chance to check it out! Great meeting everyone! a.co/d/dIoJWDo

#HorrorWritersChat Q4 Wonderful question. I'm interested in what other people do because I haven't found a perfect method. But usually I can keep my imagination flowing by reading and experiencing and filling my well with stuff to draw from. And caffeine. Lots of caffeine.

You know that Robert Hass quote, “It's hell writing and it's hell not writing. The only tolerable state is having just written." Yeah. That's me. #horrorwriterschat

#HorrorWritersChat Q3 It's all hard but I find any sort of self-promotion to be terribly anxiety-producing. Please read my stuff but don't notice me. Is that too much to ask?

I rarely write vampires (I should do more) but about 25 years ago, I wrote a short story about a vampire nun. I'm still very fond of it and have considered revamping it, making it a much longer piece of work like I did with Angel's Mass. #HorrorWritersChat
