More of this please. Amazing mix of black, technical and death metal with symphonic composition. #lornashore

Your random Junji Ito update. Such a mind for horror--where the most intimate, personal, and vulnerable clashes with the bizarre. #ito #junjiito Thanks @shawnazilla.bsky.social!

Not sure what this is but I’m gonna sleep on it and probably have a short story idea tomorrow.

Vibes of current story I’m working on. Spooky Bruce.

Saturday at 7!!

Great article with a full throated, rage filled case against AI that only feeds the pockets of oligarchs at the expense of the environment.

Great story everyone should check out about conflict between brothers and not fitting in to the regime of work. If you’re at all into wrestling (like me) you will love the story even more.

Great story about ill intentioned anthropologists, supposedly well-meaning business owners, racial hauntings and the perseverance of a community. @pseudopod.org @jamiegrimes.bsky.social #horror

I know there’s lots of other news going on right now, but hope this doesn’t get lost in the muddle www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/s...

Classic example of "a fine is permission for the rich." Haven't bothered signing up for the class action because this is just an incredibly cheap rate to pay for the source material they intend to then use to generate endless derivative profit-making works in perpetuity.

I have a new eco-horror story about telepathic deer, MN cabins, and weird trees in "What Lurks: A Cryptid Anthology" by Graveside Press. And it just got picked up for podcasting on Creepy! Date forthcoming. In the meantime, get a copy of the anthology here: graveside-press.com/product/what...

Live laugh, love. A terrible cliché, but also a great hip-hop record that’s only about a week old. Really classic soul sounds with Earl Sweatshirt’s world-weary rapping style is such a great combo. open.spotify.com/track/0TR79t...

(2/5) Fave 80s album: This one had a runaway winner. Radio bangers & experimental second half. Also love: Daydream Nation-Sonic Youth, It Takes a Nation-Public Enemy, Remain in Light-Talking Heads, Nebraska-Springsteen, Straight Outta Compton-NWA, Galaxie 500, Eric B. &Rakim. #80smusic #katebush

Favorite Album of the 70s. This one was razor thin between this record and Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division. Honorable Mentions: What's Going On? by Marvin Gaye. Marquee Moon: Television, Blue: Joni Mitchell, Fun House: The Stooges, Horses: Patti Smith, Ege Bamyasi: Can. #70smusic #fleetwoodmac

No one: What are your favorite albums of each decade? Me: Glad you asked, No One! I'm gonna post my fave album and some of the honorable mentions for each decade starting this week. First up, the 70s. #bestalbumsofalltime

Not exactly breaking news, but let me just say that if this isn’t one of the 10 best (3 best?) records of the 90s, I don’t know what is. #portishead

I’m a total nerd for etymologies, and the origins of phrases. Just in time for spooky season wordsmarts.com/halloween-id... is?

Just started working my way through stories from fellow authors in "What Lurks: A Cryptid Anthology" geni.us/whatlurks Gio Clairval's @gioclair.bsky.social is a banger. Story of runaway teenagers who get trapped in an eerie tunnel, told in the style of found footage and police records. Amazing.

New story out in "What Lurks: A Cryptid Anthology" from @gravesidepress.bsky.social "Yamadhin." Is a telepathic deer messing with Hanson's mind or is his family witnessing his descent into madness? Minnesota lake cabin / eco-horror vibes. Get a copy here. graveside-press.com/product/what...

Christmas in August! Be sure to get your copy of Thomas Ha’s “Uncertain Sons” from Undertow press for all that is strange, horrible, and filled with the uncertain. @undertow.bsky.social @thomasha.bsky.social

I don’t care what anyone says. I love that movie.

Teaching the youngins about this thing called wage labor under capitalism tomorrow. Wish me luck!

While “Live Through This” is an obvious masterpiece, this album needs more listeners. Harsh, grimy, pure 90s rage. #hole #prettyontheinside

Summer break is officially over in 22 hours. My best memory was all these cloudy, rainy, hard to hike in days from the W. Highland Way in Scotland. Here, I am pointing out a very, very tiny lamb in the distance.

Have a new deer themed eco horror story coming out in about a week! Excited.

Two personalized rejections from magazines I really love and a hold at a pro magazine. Hopefully a sign of good things to come.

For any other profs/lecturers/instructors here's a great compilation of resources & articles for thinking about AI & pedagogy. Against AI against-a-i.com

Five songs that powered my week of writing (and not writing) Get Got by Death Grips It’s a Fire by Portishead Panic Emoji by JPEGMAFIA EX-Factor by Lauryn Hill Eyeless by Slipknot (let a boy enjoy his nu metal without shame)

Searched for the story "POTENTIAL DOWNSIDE OF REPLACING YOUR EYEBALLS WITH CORN ON THE COB" in X-R-A-Y, & got this brillant AI response: "Corn cobs, while offering a unique aesthetic, cannot function as eyeballs and process light or send visual signals to the brain. You would be completely blind."

When Seize the Press asked me to give a story recommendation, I jumped at the chance! I chose @spencerwriting.bsky.social Spencer Nitkey's "In the Dream, He is Skinless and Beautiful" from WH #10 @undertow.bsky.social Read my full review here (plus some shoutouts to other favorite writers).

Wonderful, heartbreaking story using time traveling ships to delve into themes of self-hate and forgiveness. For anyone who’s piloted such craft, this will be instantly recognizable. @spicycloaca.bsky.social at @khoreo.bsky.social

Say three positive things about your writing: -Tarries with the darkness - Explores characters’ most vulnerable and unhinged moments generously -Nouns and verbs generally agrees 😉

21 years later, still one of the best albums ever. #madvillain #MFDOOM #ALLCAPS

Just read this great story by @ecatherine.com in @bourbonpenn.bsky.social. The way it combines atmosphere, an increasingly chilling psychological interiority and just general weirdness is amazing. www.bourbonpenn.com/issue/31/the...

Well, I think this does a better job than my short stories of explaining everything. youtube.com/shorts/LhrTn...

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

Fucking thrilled for Joe Koch - his STP story "These Are His Memories" will be part of Undertow's Best Weird Fiction of the Year! Get your grubby mitts on this one, it looks sick af.

What do you mean I don’t listen to lots of different kinds of music? I listen to 10 genres minimum each day. youtube.com/shorts/p9nR7...

My platonic ideal of wholesome. Father-daughter bonding with corpse paint and pink shorts included. youtube.com/shorts/fbhXi...

“Avila Beach” is now free to read on Seize the Press. It’s a magazine I come back to over and over again for everything weird dark and riotous. So happy to be part of this great issue.

Good insights here on weird fiction. Especially liked this: The weird forecloses a return to normalcy—or, often, the possibility that normalcy ever existed in the first place. It’s the ending within the liminal state, not the movement through.

Today is the official release of The S&L #4— and the completion of the set of four we'd originally funded! With it, we celebrate how much we've learned and all the excellent artists and readers who made it possible. Congratulations, team. They're perfect.🖤💀 store.tenebrouspress.com/collections/...

If your own story makes you nauseous you’re probably on the right track.

Reading Skull and Laurel #1 @tenebrouspress.bsky.social Two stories inspired me to feel the limitless power of writing. So deep with darkness, lyricism, trauma, weirdness. "Variations on the Memory Palace" @avramargariti.bsky.social "The Halved World" @spicycloaca.bsky.social

Time to further open the wounds. Ulcerate in L.A. 🤘🤘🤘

Alright @strangehorizons.bsky.social. I did this for the fungus- SFF and I did this for the working-class SFF. Combine the two, and I've got another $5 to give.

Between “The Cepalophore” and “In My Country” I believe @thomasha.bsky.social has given us two stories that capture the terror and sense of powerlessness of the current era. But more remarkable is the lingering sense of hope. That someday soon it will be time to storm the fortress.

Great story on art, work and debt. And lots of nasty visceral gooshy body horror, of course

Just read this story. Dark and heartbreaking. Can’t recommend it enough.
