@jimcobb.bsky.social The chair is against the wall. Repeat: The chair is against the wall. John has a long mustache.

On this dark day, I think only one thing can bring us comfort, @briankeene.bsky.social @marysangiovanni.bsky.social

For those who are curious about what it’s like to discuss feelings with @briankeene.bsky.social…

For the record, if they ever greenlight a Smokey and the Bandit remake and they don’t hire me to write it, then you can be sure they are DOING IT WRONG.

@marysangiovanni.bsky.social I just discovered this GIF and now I shall become insufferable.

What movie moment made you exclaim… “THIS IS CINEMA” 🖤

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

One of my first museum internships was at the Merchant's House Museum. I don't think anyone there at the time had any idea!

Curious about panels, readings, the gross out contest, and my 40th birthday celebration? Look no further!

See y'all in Williamsburg!

@briankeene.bsky.social I have an Alex McVey original as well (saw yours on your Patreon) Alex sent this to Jim, but because Blind Shadows was my first novel, Jim gave it to me. He was like that, as you know.

The finalized programming schedule for AuthorCon VI (a @scaresthatcare.bsky.social charity event) is live. You can view it at www.briankeene.com/news/scares-... or download a PDF at img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/d6... Thanks!

Women’s Symposium announcement! A generous benefactor is offering three tickets to the event. If you are in need and you would like to attend, please contact Sonora Taylor through the website: scaresthatcare.org/womens-sympo....

In case you missed it, some thoughts on recent news headlines and what myself and many of my peers do for a living.

8) You have a voice. You have ideas and opinions. You have skills. And we value those things. When we pool together our collective strengths, we could be unstoppable. Glass ceiling? Hell, a steel ceiling couldn’t stop us!

Listening to Howard Stern interviewing Stephen Wilson Jr. this morning, and it is honest, earnest, and real. Absolutely fascinating and moving discussion of art and creativity. One of the Top 10 Stern Show interviews of all time (and I've been listening since the DC-101 days).

Ten Reasons Why You Should Attend the STC AuthorCon Women’s Writers’ Symposium (A Thread): 1) You identify as a woman, & you are a writer. You know what the climate of the world/this country is like toward women right now. You know what it is like in publishing for us. Your solidarity is needed.

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

Major update: Members of Congress reviewed unredacted Epstein files. They confirmed Trump lied about a key part of his relationship with Epstein. They confirmed the DOJ redacted the names of up to 6 possible co-conspirators. Major developments. Spread the word.

CONGRATS to everyone who made the Stoker Preliminary Ballot!!! Thrilled to see so many friends here! And thanks to everyone who recommended The End of the World as We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King's The Stand. Brian Keene and I are proud as hell to have had the honor to bring this book to you.

News from Christopher Golden & Brian Keene: THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT is on the Stoker Award shortlist & has been nominated for an Audie award

@briankeene.bsky.social as a guy from the North of Ireland, I approve this comparison. 🤜🤛 "Americanized version of Ireland’s troubles — a slow-running hybrid civil war, fought not just with guns and bombs, but with selfie sticks and streaming, with no clear endgame in sight."

I've got a low carb peanut butter wrap, some Icelandic Yogurt, a big cup of coffee and Brian Keene's newsletter. It's dark, and I'm wearing sunglasses.

This week's newsletter has landed. briankeene.substack.com/p/letters-fr...

Independent in the Age of Indies - Keeneversations - Ep 32 Rapidly changing technology is creating chaos and uncertainty. In a gig economy future where everyone is a content creator, what can today's indie author do to protect themselves? Listen on Spotify or here. www.patreon.com/posts/indepe...

As a trailer editor there's a bunch of trailers I keep as inspiration and return to regularly because they absolutely nailed it in the edit. For example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVHw...

Bragging about the grouping you placed on a range target from 7 yards away is like bragging about your 1.7 GPA. Also, this is unsustainable 😎

Great article, though seeing the shots of the degraded, unrecoverable film stock was painful.

Brian's mention of the upcoming fourth volume of The Complete Short Fiction of Brian Keene has me thinking of how poorly written my early stories were and that The Complete Short Fiction of Scott Edelman should never happen. Selected Short Fiction? Maybe. But Complete Short Fiction? Oh, please no.

I'm almost done with my third cup of coffee and here's Brian Keene's newsletter to go with it.

This week's newsletter is live and chock full of movie and book news! briankeene.substack.com/p/letters-fr...

Will Stancil has always been a lying thin-skinned petty bully and everyone rushing to praise him on HIS word was insane. I first heard of this asshole when some here were saying we should welcome him a YEAR ago, only for him to reject the gesture. And that's before you get to what he's said before.

Day 21 on the set of #deadformatfilm and Maria Hawthorne captured me totally hard at work doing producer stuff and not playing Civilization: Conquests. #deadformat

Sal Buscema 1936-2026 www.tcj.com/sal-buscema-...

Remember that Seinfeld ep where Elaine’s boyfriend is rendered immobile whenever he hears “Desperado” by the Eagles? I have entered the chat, but with Bruce Springsteen’s “Bobby Jean”. (And also with Ozzy’s “Revelation Mother Earth”, Prince’s “Purple Rain” and John Lennon’s “Watching the Wheels”)

Good morning. Time to wake up. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

To @briankeene.bsky.social’s point recently in his newsletter of horror film getting no marketing, there’s a new Dracula, directed by Luc Besson, with Christoph Walz as an unnamed variant of Van Helsing, with music by Danny Elfman. Dracula makes perfume. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracula...

So far, 2026 has been a bad year to be an American who loves their country and its foundations and ideals. But a good year to be a Springsteen fan. So… mixed bag. Can’t recommend the year, but definitely recommend the song. m.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS...

Trump regime ICE thugs have been spotted driving around Arizona attacking unarmed civilians at random with drive by pepper spray attacks. They are escalating their attacks on the public nationwide. #3E #GoodvsEvil

Sal Buscema will be missed by so many of us who grew up reading the comics he illustrated.
