Morning.

Enjoyed Thanksgiving. Fun story, unique kills, gore, good reveal, and John Carver was nice to a kitty cat.

STRONG AGREE

Watching “Gremlins” with the in-laws and as always, I identify with Stripe

“Since I got saved, I’ve taken a special interest in suppressing and upsetting demons, keeping them in jail until the time of wrath comes. This one’s special. That is, especially evil. It was once inside Ted Bundy.” -Pastor Dan in THE CELLAR BELOW THE CELLAR

Happy to share that my story "The Gods of Winter", a recent flash fiction very dear to my heart, will be published with WATG Press. It's a joy to work with @dakria.bsky.social already, make sure to check them out! watgpress.substack.com/p/call-for-s...

I was interviewed on @quilltips! It was a lovely chat. Do check it out!

It's got a bit of a Welcome to Night Vale vibe, honestly. I love it.

a) this fucking sucks, wtf Apple? b) anybody got the link avail, the one about how to remove this?

If you're not following @faythompsonauthor.bsky.social, are you even a struggling writer?

Half-life 1 is 27 years old today! Good day to revisit Valve's 25th Anniversary celebration content, and @lambdageneration.com 's fun little browser-based Half-life adventure game hl25.lambdageneration.com www.half-life.com/en/halflife/...

I'm a bit late but happy birthday to Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion! #metroid

I work for a public library as the Resource Services Librarian, and we finally got @sgj.bsky.social book Killer on the Road. Cannot wait to get this out on the shelf for our patrons!

However if *I* call you it’s really me and it means you have been 100% pressganged into an apple heist, so you better not hang the fuck up

Such incredible PR!

Finished Alien Isolation on a foggy fall Sunday evening. An 8/10 horror experience and maybe my favorite genre video game, which says a lot about my perception of the state of horror video games

I thought withdrawing from Analog after 10 years of trying hurt. Scott walked away from F&SF after more than 50! I feel like I could’ve written this because it’s basically the experience I had. I’m so sorry, Scott. We need an antho for all these stories. “The Ones Who Walk Away from MRM”?

I'm of two minds here. Some of Alien: Earth was stellar, some of it abysmal. Daring to hope they can course-correct and build on the show's strengths while weeding out what it fucked up

It’s well past midnight and I was so caught up in my book that I forgot today’s vintage book cover. Oops! This is fitting to the dark hour - cinematic, nocturnal, subterranean.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

I'm beyond curious!

Working on the next short story for my upcoming collection, and I think the idea just morphed into a novel. Kinda cool when that happens!

I'm also just noticing how much this sounds like Silent Hill

As an avid horror fiction enjoyer, I love being deeply unsettled by all those heavily photoshopped character portraits, and very much looking forward to be weirded out by Netflix selling us the mid-twen, approaching-30 main cast as high schoolers or something

Now reading The Book of Accidents by @chuckwendig.bsky.social

Finished King Sorrow by @joe-hill.bsky.social, 5 stars, no notes, all (dragon)fire.

PT 2: Instead of going straight to Christmas horror movies. Spend some time learning from and supporting Native American voices and experiences expressed through horror. Some of these depictions are better than others and we need to learn the difference. #nativeamerican #indigenouspeople

Finished our first play through of 2, so on we go.

No one but a woman can help a man when he is in trouble of the heart.” ― Bram Stoker, Dracula

This one is scarier than the rustling cockroaches, probably because bed is my safe place. (Today’s vintage cover.)

Listen to Fay, for she is very wise

Your job as a writer includes being very mean to your favorite characters. You hurt them. This means emotionally, psychologically and especially physically. They are having a bad time and it's all your fault. Lean in. Stop being nice. Your life isn't nice to you. #writingcommunity #booksky #write

In a good novel, the writer writes ongoing 'hooks'. They don't rely on the first hook thinking it will have sufficient hook energy to power the whole novel. Instead, as they develop character, they litter the novel with life problems. Your character evolves. #writingcommunity #booksky #problems

Yesterday I received my first scam email for SHOESHINE BOY & CIGARETTE GIRL. I guess that means word about this book is getting out. 😂 Anyway, if you (or your book club with over 500 members) would like to read it, you can pre-order it here: www.starsandsabers.com/books/shoesh...

Edge of Tomorrow anime remake looking promising there (just kidding)
