Jazzed to see RESISTERS made the cut!

Is growing old just cutting yourself shaving every time because you’re growing too many skin tags? If so, then this friend of mine is really starting to show his age.

Hi, void. AFTER DARK VOL 1 is out in under two weeks. I’m so excited to see my story “Anchor Tenant” included in this horror anthology from @rowanprosepub.bsky.social. I used to think I’d never escape my retail job. I did. But my main character doesn’t. Get it September 2!

WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME. @natcassidy.bsky.social. A certain undoing of a certain character (that’s vague enough to be spoiler-free, right?). Now that’s a piece of writing. 👏🏼

What’s up, void? Another story acceptance just came in hot. This one’s personal. Bleak. So excited to be working with the fine folks at @exposedbonemag.bsky.social. More to come!

Hello, void. Cool news. My story "Anchor Tenant"—about a mall that'll swallow you whole—will be featured in this jam-packed horror anthology from the fine folks at @rowanprosepub.bsky.social. Anyone who's worked retail will want to give this story a read. Coming late summer!

Hi. Another post into the void. (Maybe one day my kid will read these when I’m gone—who knows.) Anyway: got a story accepted today, so that’s cool.

Always exciting hearing your work narrated. Listen to my new short story, “Lizard Brain,” on the Alphanumeric podcast—wherever you get your podcasts, or here: www.zoeticpress.com/alphanumeric... Thanks, @zoeticpress.bsky.social!

A young boy starts to question whether his mother is more predator than parent in my latest short story, “Lizard Brain,” which you can read this very moment (among other stories and poems) in Issue #39 of NonBinary Review from @zoeticpress.bsky.social. www.zoeticpress.com/issue-39-mis...

#TheMonkey manages to be hilarious, creepy, and a surprising look at the generational curse of dysfunctional fatherhood. All in 90 minutes. Also? It’s just fun as hell.

Just got a proof copy of the new issue of NonBinary Review from @zoeticpress.bsky.social. I can’t wait to share my latest story with you all. In the meantime, Google filial cannibalism. Have fun! 🦎

#HeartEyes — the rom-com horror mashup we didn’t know we needed, complete with a bizarre runaway plot and half-baked characters, but if you go into it not taking it seriously, you’ll have a bloody good time. 😍

Congratulations to @chriscampeau.bsky.social! His book, RESISTERS, has been nominated for the 2025 @specawards.bsky.social by @tonyanuci.bsky.social. #SSBA #BookSky #indiepress #bookawards #horror

If Casper the friendly ghost was a queer teenaged girl trying to save her only friends from a demon impersonator. Just finished this batshit crazy book by @mmcsw13.bsky.social and loved every hilarious, horrifying page. Read it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ cc: @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social

Huge congrats to everyone on the #Stokers prelim ballot. Every category is stacked! 👏🏼

27 years ago today towns across eastern Ontario declared states of emergency and set up temporary shelters as power grids failed under up to four inches of ice. Here’s a story about a man who refused to leave his home—and faced his demons as a result. Chapters! Barnes & Noble! Get it wherever!

Got a surprise story acceptance today from the fine folks at @zoeticpress.bsky.social. Publishing March ‘25. Nice way to end the year!

He sees you when you’re sleeping. My story “All Alone on Christmas,” about a retiree’s solo holiday getaway spoiled by a severely frost-bitten, sinister Santa Claus, is featured in the super rad WIGHT CHRISTMAS anthology from Toronto-based tdotSpec. Grab yours 👉 a.co/d/3mKIyLO

Christmas came early!

Can't believe I just discovered She Wore Black. Love the conversation between @agathaandrews.bsky.social and @timmcgregor.bsky.social—and Tim's advice on character (which I struggle with): once you have your premise, think about the person who's least prepared to take that journey. Simple but solid.

McSweeney’s made trading cards for horror authors. Includes many I adore, old and new, with “complete career stats”! @tananarivedue.bsky.social @sgj.bsky.social @paultremblay.bsky.social @silviamg.bsky.social @joshmalerman.bsky.social @brianevenson.bsky.social And I’m in there, too.

It’s been a minute—I’ve been busy promoting the novella and, honestly, just generally fatigued with writing—but I’m starting to feel good about a few short stories I’ve been chipping away at. No better feeling than breaking through the block. 💪

Waited for the grimmest and snowiest evening to (re)-read RESISTERS, an ice storm ghost story by my friend @chriscampeau.bsky.social. Simultaneously funny and creepy as heck, with a lead character who’s equal parts endearing and unhinged. A modern winter horror classic. @tonyanuci.bsky.social

RESISTERS, my debut novella—my single-serving love letter to rural Ontario and the Ice Storm of 1998—is available now! Ghosts! Ice! A rapid descent into madness! Get it here.👇 ✅ Anuci Press ✅ Chapters Indigo ✅ Barnes & Noble
