No shit, Sherlock.

My first book is nearing its tenth anniversary. I need to order more to put on the site, but the way I fund that is by selling books in stock. So… buy a book? www.tjtranchell.net

This feels timely. youtu.be/9x7W0Sjv-Mg?...

I have better things to do on October 14 than recognize a racist Nazi scumbag.

Today, in 1692, Giles Corey was crushed to death beneath stones for not confessing to being a witch. He was 81 years old.

THE LONG WALK is my favorite movie of the year.

Me (wearing BASED ON THE NOVEL BY STEPHEN KING shirt)… Movie usher: Great shirt. Seeing THE LONG WALK? Have you read the book? Me: Not only that but a friend of mine wrote this screenplay.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

So it is September. I am overwhelmingly grateful that I found a new job, but it is a paycut. Looking to cover $1,500-$2000 a month. Editing? Writing? You buying a bunch of books? What do you have that I can do for you?

Out now on ebook and paperback! Mad Days: Stories and Curses is the perfect reading for the spooky season. A terrifying collection of tales and illustrations, available on Amazon and Bookshop! Amazon bit.ly/4lZImtq Bookshop bit.ly/41USpIQ

Hey, hey, RFK! Why don’t you go fuck yourself? (Never claimed to be a good poet.)

Legit question: who should I write about? There is an active list and a few in the bank ready to roll. But who shall I turn the spotlight upon next?

In stock and needing to be sold: THE LAMENTATIONS OF BLACKHAWK: 12 THE PRIVATE LIVES OF NIGHTMARES: 11 TELL NO MAN: 6 ASLEEP IN THE NIGHTMARE ROOM: 2 (old cover) Thank form you friendly neighborhood horror writer. www.tjtranchell.net

Manifesting a deal for the book I have out on queries and/or $1,500-$2,000 in side gigs a month to cover the pay cut due to the job change. Buy more books.

41 today! 40 was a mixed year. So proud to see A Haunted Holiday published by @cemeterygatesmedia.bsky.social and Never Leaving by @infestedpublishing.bsky.social. Then I had a collection axed and my health took a dive. But! Things are looking up, and I'm optimistic about my 41st year!

I wrote a research paper about this in… 2004 for a college English class.

Choices were made.

Lots of new followers here. Thank you! If you don’t know, I write horror and can be found in the usual places or via my own webstore: www.tjtranchell.net

Oh, shit. Is it #FridayReads again? Check out my small town weird horror. www.tjtranchell.net

#FridayReads and yesterday was Pioneer Day in Utah. So why not grab an Utah-set horror story? www.tjtranchell.net

When I covered Ozzfest for the Seattle Weekly in 2007, only Rolling Stone was allowed to photograph Ozzy’s set. Here are photos from other MainStage bands that day. Captions are messed up due to archiving issues. www.seattleweekly.com/news/finnish... www.seattleweekly.com/news/two-ozz...

99 ratings. Can I get one more? I’ll be your friend. www.goodreads.com/book/show/29...

I need to restock a couple titles, but others are ready to sign and ship directly to you. www.tjtranchell.net

Alligator Alcatraz should be a shitty low budget horror film like Sharknado or maybe a bit better like Cocaine Bear, not something real.

If I had any in stock, it wouldn’t even share this. However, if you want a bitchin’ deal on THE BLACKHAWK CYCLE, here it is. www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9MW74F7

If you are interested in THE RITUAL, the Al Pacino/Dan Stevens exorcism film releasing soon, you should read my book TELL NO MAN. tjtranchell.net/shop/p/y2z70...

Hello #FridayReads fans! While my new novel is out on queries, you can read some of my indie work. Couple things sold out at the moment, but plenty to choose from still. www.tjtranchell.net

I don’t have a ton of stock and both CRY DOWN DARK and THE BLACKHAWK CYCLE are currently sold out. But if you’ve ever thought of trying one of my books, today is the day. Thank you and I appreciate you. www.tjtranchell.net

You know who should be arrested? The anti-Constitutional facist assholes who wouldn’t let a duly elected United States Senator ask questions. Fuck you, Gestapo Barbie.

Say hello to a complete draft.

She knows. She’s playing dumb because it suits the orange one’s purpose. Gestapo Barbie is just following orders.

A titch more than 3,100 words today. Since that puts me over the word count total of my longest single book (Tell No Man), I shall reveal two things: The book is titled CACHE JUNCTION It's a full-on haunted house story.

Lots of good stuff today, but “I will not yield to disrespectful men,” is the highlight. @aoc.bsky.social well done.

Having to look at your sophomore high school yearbook to write an essay should be illegal. Do not recommend.

Looks like Terry Moran did his fucking job. Good!

It’s #FridayReads and I will now sell five copies of @thomcarnell.bsky.social’s new book MONOLITH RECORDS. www.amazon.com/Monolith-Rec...

I’m reading a book, like I often do, and in my head the main character’s voice sounds like H. John Benjamin (Bob’s Burgers, Archer).

Clive Barker gets it. faroutmagazine.co.uk/hellraiser-c...

Why I need a traditional publishing deal: so that 20 book returns aren’t my problem.

Welcome back to the Twilight Zone.

I’m in my prime.

Finished @sgj.bsky.social’s THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER. Glorious book. Definitely one I could “hear” while reading it.

Today is the ninth anniversary of the release of CRY DOWN DARK, my first book. Right now, I have one in stock to ship and sign. It could be yours. tjtranchell.net/shop/p/ise9z...

That’s some Gestapo shit right there.

Fire Hegseth and Gabbard. Throw their asses in jail.

It’s true. Sometimes I want to walk up to the people parked in the clearly marked, yellow, NO PARKING zone in front of the school and ask them if they know how to read. But it would probably start a fight and my ass-kicking energy is better directed elsewhere.

A note:
