Just a friendly reminder that I'll be at Main Point Books tonight at 6:30 pm with @timchawaga.bsky.social talking about his new novel, Salvagia! mainpointbooks.com/event/2025-1...

Look At My Book Everyone :)

In one week, I'll be at Main Point Books with @timchawaga.bsky.social celebrating the launch of his new novel, Salvagia. Hope to see you there! mainpointbooks.com/event/2025-1...

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

Hey friends! Next months newsletter is right around the corner. Have you signed up yet? This one will contain: @kristinaten.bsky.social’s top 5 short story recs. My thoughts on assembling a collection. A sneak peek at The Withering, Verdant End and much more. coreys-stories.beehiiv.com

So many bunnies in the dark, creepy, and uncanny! 🥀🐇🖤 I’m thinking Bunnicula, Donnie Darko, Monty Python, Lynch’s Rabbits, Peele’s Us, that scene in Fatal Attraction, and these book covers here… Scissor-like ears, unblinking eyes. Killer instincts from the bottom of the food chain.

The bad news: Legacy media outlets in America are bowing to fascism. The good news: You have another reason to break free of the remakes, reboots and nostalgia porn they sell you. Support indie creators.

Wrote a photo essay for @puncturedlines.bsky.social about nostalgia, Soviet-era children’s books, speculative fiction, and a recent trip to the country of Georgia. Come for the picture of baby-me talking into a mall phone. Stay for Svetlana Boym 💗 ➡️ puncturedlines.com/2025/09/16/

On the current political era of fear and anxiety.

"It is limiting, to be from somewhere small—you feel it even when you like it." New gorgeous, rhythmic, perfectly bite-size work from @filiphdz.bsky.social: "The Place I Came To" in @lightspeedmagazine.com.

opinions on social media sites: bsky: mostly benign and non fashy, a little boring sometimes but generally good posts, i mostly use it to talk to ppl / keep up with writing news / journalism / shitpost which colors my opinion twitter: Its Fascism, Baby! also tech/ai hype and random fandom—

Virtual reading one week from today! Me and @davidmarinowrites.bsky.social. It's free, and you don’t have to change out of your house slippers or brush your hair or anything. That’s 10pm for us East Coasters. See ya there!

Come hang out this Saturday at the Spooktastic Bookfair! I’ll be selling and signing copies of Haunted Ecologies and Living in Cemeteries!!! And I’ll be moderating a panel on social media for readers and writers :) It’s going to be a lot of fun! Start the spooky season off right with this one :)

Happy rebirth day to the trilogy of my heart. 😍 I stopped into @brooklinebooksmith.bsky.social to sign stacks of the new paperbacks of the Green Bone Saga today. If you move fast, can still order signed copies online or if you’re local to the Boston area, stop in to the store.

It’s my birthday! Everyone who preorders Tell Me Yours from Stillhouse Press today (9/9 till 11:59pm ET) will get a signed—and, if you want, respectfully doodled in—copy! And one lucky duck will also snag this sexy, sparkly “cool S” pin. iykyk!

One month till TELL ME YOURS, I'LL TELL YOU MINE! Got your copy yet?

The Fantastic Fiction at KGB series has raised $7K, enough for two years. THANK YOU TO ALL DONORS! We'd like to raise another $7K, for a total of four years. Can you reshare to make that happen? Details here: @datlow.bsky.social www.gofundme.com/f/fantastic-...

We get cred for Dan! And Ben!! And Suzanne!!! on the Hugo adjacent list. If there’s ever a series where Peter Grant and Fergus Ferguson and Eli Brody team up… Until then you have the Stormlight Archive, Rivers of London, Finder Chronicles and Galactic Cold War to enjoy. Great series all

🤔 I’ve got an idea for a book that might be bad but might also be good. No, it’s not one of the three projects I’m supposed to be working on :3

new newsletter up—this one covers book preorder stuff and my worldcon postmortem :3 ijknewsletter.beehiiv.com/p/iz-a-newsl...

In the latest episode of the #FictionScience podcast, Tim Chawaga talks about parallels between the plot of his first novel, "Salvagia," and the real-world thrills and chills that are likely to sweep over America's coastal areas due to future sea level rise. cosmiclog.com/2025/08/11/c... #Worldcon

I love this piece! And now I want to read SALVAGIA and re-read all the Travis McGee books...

👀

The JABberwocky team had a wonderful time celebrating @timchawaga.bsky.social's debut, SALVAGIA, at WORD Bookstore last night! Congratulations to Tim on a lively event, and shoutout to @victormanibo.com for being a great moderator ✨ awfulagent.com/ebooks/salva...

Returned home from the Seattle Worldcon with 7 hours, 10 minutes of fascinating conversations with @foxesandroses.bsky.social, @johnpicacio.bsky.social, @larazontally.bsky.social, and @nassos.bsky.social. I hope you'll subscribe to Eating the Fantastic to join us at the table! pod.link/1083737796

I watched this happen live and it was jaw-droppingly uncool. Celebrating creators means saying their names and pronouncing them right. The spec fic community is blessed with some of the world’s brightest minds and I’d encourage us to apply that brightness to doing so much better than this.

It's always a good day to read some @khoreo.bsky.social stories, but this is an extra EXTRA good time to do so, or get yourself a subscription if you can! weightlessbooks.com/khoreo-12-mo...

There’s nothing like attending Worldcon in-person as team @khoreo.bsky.social's representative, as one of the actual Finalists for Best Semiprozine, only for our masthead to be entirely skipped over, while everyone else’s names and mastheads were read in full, exactly as it was on the program sheet.

Fascinating lunch conversation during the Seattle Worldcon with Hugo-nominated writer Eugenia Triantafyllou over soup dumplings at Din Tai Fung — a conversation on which you’ll be able to eavesdrop on a future episode of Eating the Fantastic. pod.link/1083737796.

>:3 I’m gonna be here “in conversation” with Tim in a couple hours, so if anyone at worldcon / concurrent wants a break from the respective locations :3!!

Just coming here to shout about @timchawaga.bsky.social’s fabulous debut! Noir in future Florida, diving in drowned cities, corporate shenanigans. Must Read!

SALVAGIA is out. It's officially pub day! Come join me on the yoreshore. 🐊🚀🌴

Happy #bookbirthday to SALVAGIA by @timchawaga.bsky.social! 🎉🤿 "This deft debut makes the perfect page-turner for anyone seeking a laugh, a thrill, and perhaps, even a cry." —@bookstr.bsky.social awfulagent.com/ebooks/salva...

For the folks suggesting I'm promoting science fiction works from this millennium because I want an extra sale or two 1. I assure you I am doing fine, thanks for your concern 2. Otherwise FUCK YES support currently living/working writers please and thank you, they need to eat and live in a house

Thank you @bookstr.bsky.social for this really lovely review of SALVAGIA! Out tomorrow! bookstr.com/article/this...

Okay, Bluesky, help me out? Looking for ARC reviewers who are into dark, strange stories featuring twisted games. Maybe you love Bora Chung and want some more cursed bunnies in your life? It's on NetGalley (two whole months before release!), or PM me for a copy.

gonna write a literary masterpiece about the challenges of growing up Ukrainian and the pressures to stay a size 2 when your entire cultural cuisine is just carbs.

People of Seattle and the world(con): I’ll be reading from my forthcoming debut with fellow @clarionwest.bsky.social alumni and new book havers! Would love to see you, here or elsewhere. If it’s here, just be sure to RS that VP at clarionwest.org/upcoming-events.
