The reason Moby Dick is the most American novel ever written is because it is about a violent white man enacting a confusing revenge fantasy against a cheap source of oil.

Reactor has kindly bundled together some highlights of their original fiction from 2025, including my novelette Wolf Moon, Antler Moon, which is one of my very favorite things that I published this year. Prom massacre meets animal transformation story - enjoy! reactormag.com/download-sho...

So pleased to find THE VILLA, ONCE BELOVED in such illustrious company! Thank you, @reactorsff.bsky.social!

Beervent Day 5: Salvagia, by @timchawaga.bsky.social, a brilliant cli-fi noir that adeptly recalls the John D MacDonald’s Travis McGee, set in a climate-ravaged Florida and featuring secretive machines… …a perfect pairing with Dewey’s Secret Machine fruited sour! #beervent #booksky #bookvent

ICYMI, my gothic, dark academia story about a crumbling educational institution, forbidden queer romance, and a snake, went live on The Dark today: www.thedarkmagazine.com/measurements...

Please enjoy this little essay about turning the past into a crime novel plot point in SALVAGIA in today's Climate Fiction Writers League newsletter! open.substack.com/pub/climatef...

We are heartbroken to hear about the passing of Celeste Rita Baker, a wonderful writer and human. It was our joy and privilege to publish her story “Me and Seed Sheself” in our magazine in 2022. Our deepest condolences to her loved ones, may she rest in peace. www.khoreomag.com/fiction/me-a...

It is a book that will challenge you to reconsider the rituals of your own past and the political realities of the present. gnofhorror.com/tell-me-your... @kristinaten.bsky.social 🩸📚💙

Moonrising is only $2.99 on Amazon Kindle! Moonrising is a near future sci-fi romance about the first lunar colony. It's cozy & optimistic with complex characters, lots of science & chickens in space. If you loved Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid or are an Andy Weir fan, this one's for you!

@timchawaga.bsky.social Mur and Tim Chawaga dive into the depths of Tim's near-future science fiction mystery set in a flooded Florida.

The largest mass protests by number of participants in US history happened yesterday and the only mention on the front page of the NYT is Jamelle Bouie's opinion column: no diner-diving for sentiments of the unheard masses, no coverage of the Trump video, no sense for what it says about the moment.

Wondering what's up at Brooklyn Books & Booze in 2026? Here are just some incredible authors who'll read w/ us (including @ellenkushner.bsky.social @acwise.bsky.social @fondalee.bsky.social @kellyrobson.com & @timchawaga.bsky.social) --check out more at the link! 📚🎙️🧉👀 randeedawn.com/bonus/brookl...

Did you know I wrote the back cover copy for this guy??? “encounter ethical werewolf rearing, murderous tree cults, Weird insectile evolutions, seaside folk horror, corrupt environmental tourism, gothic forest wanderings, eternal plastic pollution, sea-bound cosmic horror..” How’d I do?

Today is pub day for Tell Me Yours, I’ll Tell You Mine! However much writing can be a solitary act, putting a book out definitely isn’t. Thanks to Stillhouse Press and all of Tell Me Yours’ many champions. My first book is out now. I hope you like it.

Not much cooler than a former student’s new book in the campus mailbox. Thanks, @kristinaten.bsky.social

Had more fun doing this interview with @momoshaty.bsky.social for @nighttidemag.bsky.social than I think you’re allowed to have doing interviews?? Talked genre hopscotch, long Seoul walks, and not reading the reviews. Pictured with last night’s neon dark magic portal…

What are people saying about my eco-horror short story collection, Haunted Ecologies??? “Soggy” - Becky “Prophetic” - Ai “Weird” - Dave “Great” - Regan “Weird” - Yvonne “Weeds” - Raymonde “Thorny” - Hillary “Fun” - Matthew “Book” - Kelsey
