Requiem is a cosmic gothic horror novel that explores the familiar trope of what can happen when AI goes wrong but the familiarity did not detract. #Requiem #NetGalley #BookSky #HorrorSky @flametreepress @johnpalisano.bsky.social Full review: app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/faa3...

Coming this Tuesday! Fight the haunting. Face the grief. Stop the entity. #Requiem 🛡️ flametr.com/4lRDMhS @flametree.bsky.social #horror #sciencefiction #gothic

Very fun review from Happy Goat Horror for “Requiem” happygoathorror.com/2025/05/17/r...

Today, a comprehensive interview with me with TJ Tranchell went live at the Coachella Review. We touch on Gothic fiction, Requiem, growing up with Stephen King, the HWA, and some advice @timwaggoner once gave me. Thanks so much to TJ and Yennie Cheung. thecoachellareview.com/2025/05/18/t...

Check out the new book trailer for my new novel "Requiem" that Flame Tree put together. Love it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjDZ...

Tomorrow! I’ll be at the Santa Clarita Book Festival at College of the Canyons from 10-4 I’ll have copies of REQUIEM!

"after" is the second official Dim Shores chapbook, published in August 2015 and quickly sold out. Working on this with Scott Nicolay and @illustro-obscurum.bsky.social was a joy. There are only 160 copies out in the world, a real rarity, and the dough from this raffle goes to a very worthy cause.

I’m raffling this original art from Scott Nicolay’s long out of print novella ‘after’ as a fundraiser for the Sameer Project in Gaza. @dimshores.bsky.social also donated their very last copy of the novella! yog-blogsoth.blogspot.com/p/scary-stor...

A cosmic requiem calls the forgotten… and something unholy answers. #Requiem flametr.com/3Gw5Siv

+ @theladygreer.bsky.social, @thelincoln.bsky.social, @theauthorguy.bsky.social, @johnpalisano.bsky.social, @emilytesh.net, @marthawells.com, and @itsneonyang.bsky.social. I'll have another list coming out in a couple of weeks for the rest of the books coming out in May.

One song awakened the dead. Another might end humanity. #Requiem @johnpalisano flametr.com/43453Gj #horror #sciencefiction @flametree.bsky.social

Congratulations to @marktullius and @LyndseySmith @vincere press on their Splatterpunk Awards nomination. Deathfest Confessions also contains my story “Memento Mori” about a very special guitar pedal. www.briankeene.com/news/2025-sp...

On the Eden, grief is a weapon — and it’s coming for them all. #Requiem ⚔️ flametr.com/4ix3RzP

Requiem’s release date has been pushed back to May 22. I’ve just seen the finished book and it’s gorgeous! Ava’s lost love returns… but so does something far worse. #Requiem @johnpalisano 💔 flametr.com/42UsgcY
