This should feel seismic, but it just feels… sad? I wrote for DC and others far more than I ever did for Marvel, but the first time I visited the Marvel offices was one of those moments in my life where I wanted to travel back in time and tell my struggling childhood self, “Dude! Guess what?”

Neither @cgolden.bsky.social or I wrote stories for The Stand antho because that would have taken slots from others. So I’m psyched to have written “Forty Miles West of Sidewinder, Right Next Door To Hell” for this new Overlook antho that’ll have @stephenking.bsky.social’s fans dying to check in.

Good morning. A George the Bunny update and @saratantlinger.bsky.social's To Be Devoured, both on today's Blog. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

Time for two @briankeene.bsky.social rereads.

Really enjoying The Last Ship on Netflix. It’s very different from the novel, and (speaking as ex-Navy) it’s stylized and silly at times regarding ops and procedures, but it’s a lot of fun, and a good post-apocalyptic adventure with some decent human drama and solid character work.

Next Tuesday 7/21 Register now at Twisted Spine in Brooklyn, NY! The official launch! Hang out with me, Nat Cassidy, Clay McLeod Chapman, Nicky Gonzalez, Nicholas Kaufmann, Brian Keene, John Langan, Victor LaValle, CJ Leede, Tanya Pell, Mary SanGiovanni, and Tony Tremblay! Get your tickets now!

Good morning. This is George. He's disappointed that I didn't plant a garden this year, and he also has some thoughts about a book by @thejessmchugh.bsky.social on today's Blog for Women In Horror Year: www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

According to the article, the company that makes these started doing so shortly after acquiring Realdoll in 2024. You know, the sex dolls. They’re gong to have a sex doll teaching children.

@briankeene.bsky.social check out what I picked up with my work bonus. Now I’m waiting on book 4!

I absolutely love Brian for this because he addresses something I can't, really. People are entitled to their opinion, even if they don't make sense

This book is fantastic. Go preorder it. You’ll love it.

Good morning, and welcome to day 80 of Women In Horror Year. Hope you are hungry for some @almakatsu.bsky.social today: www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

It's a day early, but posting my #FakeBookTitleFriday now before I forget to! For once, the blurb for the book was perfect as is and didn't need to be changed.

Out today in audiobook (for the first time ever) and narrated by the great Chet Williamson! www.briankeene.com/news/an-occu...

"At its core, this is a story about the terrible things men have done to women — and not just acts of violence or assault or enslavement, but of diminishment and disempowerment..." Today we look at @amandaheadlee.bsky.social's This Is How A Villain Is Made: www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

Remarkable piece by @zachrabiroff.com (and one I’d personally love to see expanded to book length).

Me (to @marysangiovanni.bsky.social & @cgolden.bsky.social): Give me 15 minutes to soak and read this fucking Tarzan novel. Them: You’re reading about fucking Tarzan? Now I want someone to publish ‘Fucking Tarzan at the Earth’s Core’ by @chucktingle.bsky.social, complete with a Frazetta cover.

A signed bookshelf tour of my #books from some of my favorite authors. My signed books are mainly #horror but I have some rarities and first editions in other genres. #booksky @pfracassi.bsky.social @claymcleod.bsky.social @briankeene.bsky.social @scribeofhades.bsky.social youtu.be/37NcwHzirf4

Good morning. Meta is letting anyone use your Instagram photos for generative A.I. so here's how to turn that off. Also, if you like my Earthworm Gods or @timlebbon.bsky.social's White, @rebecca-rowland.bsky.social's Eminence Front will blow you away. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

Been looking forward to it since Brian Keene sent me a weird brochure for some retirement community in a box of books I bought from his bookstore.

Good morning. Today we are laughing at Nook, cheering @spmiskowski.bsky.social, and celebrating @candacenola.bsky.social's Desperate Wishes. Join us. It's free. It's called a Blog. it's something us old folks do. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

"With MONSTROUS, Bryan Smith delivers what might very well be the best novel of his career. A staggering work of cosmic horror along the lines of Brian Lumley, but pure 100% Bryan Smith. Must read!" --Brian Keene, author of The Rising Preorder here: a.co/d/00y7pdAF @briankeene.bsky.social

Good morning, Horror. Today we're talking about @spmiskowski.bsky.social, Tom Piccirilli, and money. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

What’s something our friends in the U.K. do that delights you? For me, I love how they pronounce “extraordinary”, and I admire the reverence they have for pubs.

I’ve worked with several different indie publishers and I’ve been very happy, in particular with @sobelobooks.bsky.social and @grindhousepress.bsky.social

Like we always do about this time... briankeene.substack.com/p/letters-fr...

UPDATE: It has sold.

Here's your once in a lifetime chance to own the original manuscript for THE RISING. www.briankeene.com/news/the-ris...

When I regained rights for IN THE HOUSE OF IN BETWEEN, my immediate goal was to get off KDP and get my books setup so one could order from anywhere. Ingram was what I had my eye on. My autobiography 41 was published using Ingram by Anuci Press, I followed the same model to get away from ‘zon’s AI.
