I will introduce you to Chris as a different name. I would appreciate all of you playing along. For example, if @scottedelman.bsky.social approaches, I’ll say, “Chris, here comes Elwood.” Because this getting old thing is great for having new fun and pranks.

Over on my Patreon today, there's a brand-new LOST LEVEL short story, and some behind the scenes stuff from my time as showrunner for Silverwood. Unlock thousands of such things to read for as little as one dollar a month. www.patreon.com/BrianKeene

June 1, 2016, I posted my first horror story to Reddit's NoSleep. June 1, 2026, I'm revealing the cover of my tenth horror book. DEATH IN ITS MANY FORMS 💀 #booksky Cover by @uglybyproxy.bsky.social. Can't recommend him enough! This is my second cover from him. Absolutely wonderful to work with!

Today is day 48 of Women In Horror Year, and we're discussing Elephantasm by Tanith Lee: www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

You don’t have to post an opinion about everything. In fact, you don’t even actually have to have an opinion on everything. Sometimes, you can just look at things and say NOPE and walk away and it will probably be really good for your mental health.

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

Sources say it may have made impact in the hills west of Arkham, Massachusetts. Eyewitness Ammi Pierce said it “came down over on Nahum Gardner’s farm.” In other news, state agricultural experts say crops grow unnaturally large and abundant this season.

He's 100% the kind of whiny edgelord who will turn openly hard right and say it's all our fault/we drove him to it by being meanies to him.

Good morning. Today I'm talking about the insight of @natcassidy.bsky.social and sharing a story about @urbancik.bsky.social, John Palisano, Michael T. Huyck, and the much missed Lisa Mannetti. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

Always felt RED STATION was one of the better books issued under the Splatter Western banner of Death's Head Press (or whatever they're called now).

So I suppose I should get myself over to Threads. I hear there’s been an appreciation of @briankeene.bsky.social going on over there for the last four days and someone needs to set these people straight. 🤣

Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, @johncusack.bsky.social, and Johnny Depp have withdrawn as emcees for the Freedom 250 celebration. (Although, my god, I wish the good doctor was still here to report on these strange and savage times).

The timing was just too perfect, @briankeene.bsky.social. There are two ways to approach AI inside you. One is a dumb parody, the other is intellectual breakdown. They shake hands because both are good. You are at peace.

Good morning. On today's Blog: why generative A.I. uses em dashes, the return of Dungeonmaster 77.1, and Kenzie Jennings' RED STATION. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

Good morning. A new Whiteboard of Doom, an old form of online communication, and Charlee Jacob's momentous debut novel are the topics of the day over on Algorithm Zero. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

"Urban Gothic" by @briankeene.bsky.social Although in reality there are 20+ pages to go, before the first head gets turned to mush, in hindsight, it feels near instantaneous. The whole story of teens hunted by mutants in and below a ruined mansion has a refreshingly fast pace. I liked it a lot.

Happy anniversary to lovebirds @briankeene.bsky.social and @marysangiovanni.bsky.social, the cutest couple in horror! Celebrate by brunching with them on an episode of Eating the Fantastic, and learn how they collaborate both on the page and in real life. www.scottedelman.com/2023/02/09/k...

Good morning. In honor of me and Mary's wedding anniversary, here's a story about how a novel written by two people whom I dearly love came about. Plus, if you thought Stan Lee & Jack Kirby's relationship was something, Gary Gygax & Dave Arneson say "Hold our beer" www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

Very proud of my girl 💜

Someone is very happy to have his kitty home from the hospital. ❤️💕

The finale to Book 4 was just posted on Patreon. For those of you reading the serial, please don't spoil it for readers waiting on the hardcover, paperback, eBook, and audiobook later this year. Thanks for your continued support. We are now approaching The End... www.briankeene.com/news/labyrin...

Koja’s BAD BRAINS is *incredible.* It’s the kind of book you’ll never fully be able to scrub off your skin.

Good morning. Today we're talking about the first great horror fiction boom, the Dell Abyss line, and the novel that serves as the perfect capstone of that era -- the truly transgressive and groundbreaking Bad Brains by Kathe Koja. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

I’m 58. I’ve believed in UFOs and alien life since I was 6 years old. Yet, even with disclosure, proof of alien life remains inconclusive. What’s 100% conclusive is the evidence disclosed in the Epstein Files. Release the rest. Prosecute the perps. I can wait a little longer for alien disclosure.

I only belong to one Patreon account and it's this one. If you read and/or write horror, you should seriously sign up. Lot's of content, updated frequently, and a good time in general.

The serialized version of FALLING ANGELS: The Labyrinth, Book 4 concludes this week on Patreon. The hardcover, paperback, ebook, and audiobook will be released at the end of this year.

Resharing for this week. Next round of infusions will be in July. More than $8k in bills for my treatment have been paid in full already thanks to the generous support of this community. Deeply grateful for all the kindness and support for this long-term need. gofund.me/616b0399b

Need a good read this weekend? Check out SEEING THINGS, which @briankeene.bsky.social calls it "a modern-day callback to the traditional gothics from which horror, as a genre, sprung. It’s suspenseful, creepy, and the perfect weekend read." Available everywhere: books2read.com/u/38QKla

Anyway, I just learned that A City Dreaming received a STARRED REVIEW IN PUBLISHERS WEEKLY! www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-250-26...

The B&N Slop Store - Keeneversations - Ep 45 James Daunt, CEO of Barnes and Noble, says he's okay selling AI-generated books. Brian and Mary have something to say about that. Listen now, so that when Brian is in trouble next week, you can say you heard it first! www.briankeene.com/news/the-bam...

Great rec today - it's an amazing collection.

Good morning. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

In my story, 'The Shadow from the Vaults' Kharrn is serving in the Varangian Guard in Constantinople with Harald the Ruthless and a bunch of Norsemen. Lovecraftian horror breaks out. I was psyched to appear with @joerlansdale.bsky.social , @briankeene.bsky.social and a host of terrific writers here.

Good morning! Today we're talking David Lee Roth (again), sick kitties, and Laura Lee Bahr's 2011 debut novel. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

Okay, not gonna bombard you with pics and stories. Maybe in this Sunday's newsletter. For now, this five minute story sums up what was an emotional and perfect evening -- a momentary escape from all the bad weirdness that is Earth in 2026. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LuQ...

So @briankeene.bsky.social just FaceTimed me from David Lee Roth’s tour bus…there’s no way this can end well, right? 🤣

"It’s a cosmic horror novel that will appeal to fans of Laird Barron or John Langan, but it’s also a coming of age novel that will appeal to fans of Stranger Things or my own Ghoul, but it’s also splatterpunk and surreal and quiet and loud and there’s some beautiful body horror." Thank you, Brian 🖤

In the conclusion of this special 2-part limited return engagement, Jim, Dacia, and Brian discuss frugality and financial preparedness in a time of high gas prices and economic uncertainty, with simple tips on how to save money, spend money, and get more for less. www.briankeene.com/news/how-to-...

Good morning. Leave David Lee Roth alone, B&N's CEO says he's okay with A.I. written books, and @haileypiperfights.bsky.social's masterpiece on today's Blog. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

Believing he is an editor rather than a cat, Dallas oversees my writing from atop the desk.

A reminder that, as Women In Horror Year progresses, there's a handy index (updated daily) with links to all 365 books that are featured. www.briankeene.com/womeninhorro...
