New @dharlanwilson.bsky.social in the mail today.

Over at my Substack, I review a collection of dark stories about family by National Book award-winning author, Samanta Schweblin.

Got some @ghoulish.bsky.social in the mail today. @michaelallenrose.bsky.social

We can’t fix this world but we can put more books in it. To a lot of people that doesn’t matter but often it’s the things that people think don’t matter that are the most meaningful. I don’t know.

Some updates and a couple cover reveals at the latest edition of my Substack.

Got some gritty crime fiction today from @tusitalabruni.bsky.social

Overestimated how many copies we actually have available. This is actually your last chance to order a copy of Hellarkey IV. We will be sold out very soon.

Recently acquired books from @bitterkarella.bsky.social @whiskeytit.com @kaijupoet.bsky.social @davidscotthay.bsky.social

Hell yeah! I hope you enjoy those books!

Facebook suspended my account. Possibly permanently. I'm not even sure why. I have another account there under Benjamin Arzate. Feel free to shoot me a friend request.

My story, "The Garfield Phones from the Ocean," will be in the anthology Bizarro Circus of Madness, releasing Nov. 4th. Thank you to Riley Odell for having me! It's currently available for pre-order on Kindle. ⬇️

check it out! My story "The Very, Very Last Gender Apocalypse," about the very very last gender apocalypse, is gonna be in the Bizzaro Circus of Madness anthology!! :D www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQ8PPZZB

Printers Row went really well this year! Only two books left. The first one to message me can get both signed and sent for only $15. Thank you @michaelallenrose.bsky.social, Sauda Namir, @renbolger.bsky.social, @tusitalabruni.bsky.social and everyone at @whiskeytit.com and @deadskypub.bsky.social

Reposting. Come see us at the Bizarro booth At Printers Row Lit Fest this weekend!

Next weekend, I'll be at the Printer's Row Lit Fest with the Chicago Bizarro Writers Association and @whiskeytit.com. I'll have signed copies of several of my titles for sale. Come by and pick up books or just to say hi.

@malarkeybooks.bsky.social is hungry so we're back at it! Mealarkey's Fall Menu call opens soon.

August has been decent so far; we need it to be ridiculous. Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. Tell your parents and your children and your neighbors and your coworkers and the person looking over your shoulder on the bus—to read, to buy, to exude Malarkey. malarkeybooks.com/store/grift2

You’ve been waiting. Too long you’ve been waiting. But it’s here, finally. The Grift is back! 11 writers. 65 pages.$5. A much-needed fundraiser for the press; a nice little magazine for you (if you have Adobe, select booklet when you print). Happy reading! malarkeybooks.com/store/grift2

Book Club 2026: 4 books 4 poetry EPs 3 King Ludd’s Rag zines 1 Hellarkey $120 malarkeybooks.com/store/2026bo...

I just got back from seeing Weapons. I thought it was excellent. I don't want to say much, because I think it's better to go in completely blind like I did. It's definitely worth seeing in the theater.

Anything sent this weekend will be up for consideration and then we’ll put it together next week finally.

While The Grift volume 2 coalesces, you might prepare by downloading the inaugural issue. Already downloaded it? No problem, you can buy it as many times as you like! malarkeybooks.com/store/grift

Thank you to Donald Armfield for this kind review of my collection of plays from @madnessheartpress.bsky.social Get it below⬇️

Over at Bizarro Central, I review The Summer is Ended and We Are Not Yet Saved by @hauntedsink.bsky.social www.bizarrocentral.com/2025/07/27/a...

Now 8 away from our July goal, a goal that, if met, says to us hey guys, you have a decent chance to print real nice copies of this book without losing a lot of money!

New Cody Goodfellow acquired.

One gets sick of promoting books, would much rather just work on them. No one else is gonna promote these things, though, not for what we can afford ($0), so anyway we are still giving away a free t-shirt to new book club subscribers! malarkeybooks.com/malarkey-boo...

Get a signed copy of Music is Over! from Malarkey Books, along with other great books with code SELLOUT at checkout.

I haven't gotten around to Ari Aster's other films, but I thought Eddington was excellent. It was a sharp satire of how America handled COVID and BLM, and it worked great as a thriller. I really didn't expect the twists it took. Thumbs up from me.

Thank you to Danielle Yvonne for her kind words on The Complete Idiot's Guide to Saying Goodbye on Uncomfortably Dark. www.uncomfortablydark.com/post/7-12-25...

Right now, @bookshop.org has free shipping through Friday. Links to some of my books there below.

Over at Bizarro Central, Rob Ramirez and I have a flash fiction piece we wrote together. I think it's one of the one funniest things both of us have written. Thanks to @garrettcook.bsky.social for picking it up. Link below.

Over at Bizarro Central, I take a look at Samuel Delany's first foray into the erotica genre. If you know Delany's work, you know it's strange and transgressive. But maybe not in the way you expect.

You can get a signed copy of Music is Over! plus any other book or piece of @malarkeybooks.bsky.social merch at 20% off with the code SELLOUT at checkout. Link below.

Over at Bizarro Central, I take a look at the new @thomasmoronic.bsky.social novel from Amphetamine Sulfate. www.bizarrocentral.com/2025/06/08/t...

Some kind words on my short story, The Heads of Staff, from Uncomfortably Dark. www.uncomfortablydark.com/post/6-7-25-...

Over at Bizarro Central, I take a look at the Anti-Oedipus Press edition of Norman Spinrad's novel, Welcome to Your Dreamtime. www.bizarrocentral.com/2025/06/01/k...

Book sale finds.

People seem to like our French flaps. Hair Shirt marked the beginning of our French flap era and Boxcutters likely marks the end. They add to printing costs and this shit is already expensive, so unless we sell out of both books this month probably no more French flaps.
