Without just posting my book deal post yet again, I want to respond in a little more depth to @timclare.bsky.social's insightful thread about The Repairer of Reputations. Back in 2020, when COVID was just hitting, I needed something to focus my attention on. This story, and this book, was that.

I have very good reasons of my own to reskeet this thread on Robert Chambers' The Repairer of Reputations, my favourite short story in The King in Yellow.

Some *extremely* exciting news from me! It's time to get back to the 'SF' in 'SFF':

My deal announcement came out on my birthday. Happy birthday to me! May the Yellow King hold off destruction of this planet long enough for my tribute to his intergalactic majesty THE TRUTH OF CARCOSA to hit the shelves (in North America in 2026)

ICYMI we did a cover reveal of my upcoming queer erotic cosmic horror novel A GAME IN YELLOW, and now I'm holding an ARC in my hands 🤩 it feels lovely, and I can't wait for Saga and I to bring you this King in Yellow-fueled madness on August 12 next year! 💛 www.simonandschuster.com/books/A-Game...

Today, on Shirley Jackson’s birthday, let’s all marvel at one of the greatest opening paragraphs ever written (from THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE)

One of the things I miss about childhood is dinosaurs. They were so exciting. I used to for for walks through the woods, legitimately terrified of dinosaurs. Now I'm only terrified of the landowners
