reuniting with @aijiang.bsky.social to steal all the Stephen King from the library on October 2nd in Hamilton. we will build an entire town out of them.

throwback to the dream team

I am FINALLY listening to Wrong Station in bulk and it hits such a sweet spot. For fans of classic horror radio plays and CBC's NIGHTFALL.

when fantasy / post-apocalyptic media does that thing where there's a wide establishing shot and there's a toppled giant statue that's become part of the landscape, that shit's always the best. Bonus points if the characters have to travel across the giant blade of its fallen sword to reach a peak

hitting the road this October. these will get more specific as the days approach.

Coming soon! We'll be @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social Festival, Oct. 4 & 5. Come see us and all the fab vendors and creators. www.littleghostsbooks.com/little-ghost...

wow, fucking amazing, middle management ass slavery fetish bullshit. it's so hard to book yourself a haircut or order some groceries. they built a half baked program to let you microdose the fantasy of being a billionaire who has people doing all of these things for them. i'm so full of hate rn

“They’re playing in our face.” Jess Keefe on AI “art” in Regular Mag

we get daily "Boar on the Floor" episodes on the timeline

yet another article being breathlessly shared as "essential reading" and you open the link and it's just this:

"Attract heavy cash 'cause the game's centrifugal"

Anyone got any big ass nonfiction titles they want to recommend? A lot of audiobook time in my future.

everything I must use to do my day job has become buggy or downright broken in the past year due to all the bullshit shoveled in by delusional tyrants. tired of people who don't actually work breaking my tools so they can listen to AI summaries of AI podcasts before driving directly into the ocean

something definitely lost when all your art is made by keeners who asked for more homework and the children of the rich.

author scams really going into overdrive this year. BookExcellence get the fuck out of my inbox.

Felt like doing a little fan cover

Wow babe, this story is so legible. All the characters have names and the sentences are so short!

uh oh here come the chore jacket boys who never did chores

the falcon is pivoting to video, he cannot hear the falconer.

whole "article" is a farce, lies stacked upon lies, but I did enjoy this part.

whenever the bio is a bit long

Coffin Moon is out today. Thanks to everyone that's reviewed the book, preordered it, told their friends about it. We had a sold out event at Hollywood Theatre last night, and Broadway Books sold every single copy of Coffin Moon they'd brought. I'm so lucky. Thank you all.

taking psychic damage upon learning a child is named Barlow. my Umbreon does nothing to help counteract this.

sometimes I get tired but then I remember there are people who wake up at 6AM to spend 18 hours straight attempting to shame random dog owners on Instagram. And they aren't even getting paid.

But don't worry, literary fiction people still know as little about SF as SF people know about literary fiction.

“Lit fic is just sad writing professors having sex with their students” = “I haven’t read a book for adults since high school”

just say you don't read much

your party approaches the inn, tired and hungry after a day of pretending to kill beings deemed 'other.' a foreboding sign stands at its open gates.
