Oh yeah: Happy Pub Day to KANSAS CITY BREAKDOWN. @meproctor.bsky.social and @russellthayer10.bsky.social are at it again, which means Tom Keegan and Gunselle are partnering up, again. This looks to be another great one, make sure to grab a copy. www.cowboyjamboreemagazine.com/kansas-city-...

My short review of the incredible WRETCH by @ericlarocca.com Hint: 5 stars. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Oh my goodness. 7000 word marathon to the end today. 1st Draft of novel #2 completed. And all I can think is: this thing is too fucking long! 🤣

Trans rights are human rights! I see you. I support you. Trans visibility day 🩷

On Trans Day of Visibility/last day of Women in Horror Month, how about some horror by trans women? Sundown in San Ojuela: Inland Empire Gothic. I called this book "luminous and so, so dark." Teenage Girls Can Be Demons: Just *blistering* with rage, empathy, and hella blood. What would y’all add?

Holy hell, happy pub day to @ericlarocca.com and WRETCH. My preorder should be here in an hour and then it's next on the TBR. YES!

Definitely something lovers of words and good fiction should watch.

Well this second novel just entered the 70k club.

Saw Crime 101 today based on the maestro Don Winslow’s novella. Nice old school slow burn crime movie with a loaded fucking cast. Worth a watch in the cinema.

Congrats to all the Stoker prelim nominees including @haileypiperfights.bsky.social for the double nomination for her collection TEENAGE GIRLS CAN BE DEMONS and her novel A GAME IN YELLOW.

Hell to the yes on Delroy Lindo getting an Oscar nod. I still think he deserved one for Get Shorty, but Sinners and his monologue are transcendent.

Got my 2k words. Now, sitting by the fire working my way through the absolute beast that is Tom’s Crossing by Mark Z. Danielewski. Ripley is exhausted from laying there most of the day.

Attended an MLK Jr. celebration filled with such diversity it reminded me that even while we live in this nightmare administration right now, we fight the darkness with light. We come together to remember and remind what Dr. King fought for. Resist hate, fight back with love and kindness.

NEVER

Happy New Year to all my friends and fellow writers fighting the good fight against AI and fascism. Had a good year of writing: wrote less shorts but finished my first novel, published 3 shorts, got another acceptance and now long listed for a horror contest from the great Uncharted Magazine.

One helluva good year for short fiction from Keith. Very good reads, all. Nice work, my friend.

Not to brag but my family offered to drive me out to the middle of nowhere, leave me for dead. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Hope you got lots of books.

Three things: 1. Glad Jake Paul finally had a real fight and got his jaw broken. 2. Ese cabrón isn’t Puerto Rican and most definitely doesn’t represent my country. 3. If you hate folks like Jake Paul and have any kind of love for PR, this book is for you.

Get on the list.

So glad I read GOOD BOY by @talkscaredpod.bsky.social before the end of the year. What a beautiful, haunted little tale. Great, great read. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Hey! It is launch day for @comptonwrites.bsky.social Grab a copy of MIDNIGHT SOMEWHERE. Excellent stories to ruin your sleep. bookpeople.com/book/9798228...

I'm THRILLED (you'll see what I did there in a moment) to share that my story "Sandy Claus Is Coming to Town," is part of Thriller Magazine's Winter 2025 issue, along with six other tales for the season. Grab a copy here or Amazon: thrillermagazine.org/product/wint...

I saw Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery yesterday, and it’s damn good. Great plotting and pacing and incredible job by the entire cast. It’s worth a trip to the theater. Don’t wait for Netflix.

Two words: Hook ‘em!

I was thankful for many things today but one was finishing @rachelharrison.bsky.social amazing PLAY NICE. Holy hell what a great one. Read it ASAP and tis the season to scare your friends & family. (They probably deserve it). And vote it Best Horror too if you like. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Just hit the half way point and had that wonderful epiphany we love, when the rest of the story revealed itself to me in one fell swoop. That “ah ha,” moment is worth all the imposter syndrome.

Joe Hill’s KING SORROW just blew me away; fried my soul; choose your cliche. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Thanks to @witchingmetal66.bsky.social for taking a chance on my story for the latest theme at Pistol Jim Press. This one’s a bit of a departure in that it’s a piece of creative nonfiction, which doesn’t bode well for me when the theme is “Nails in the Coffin.” 😳👇 open.substack.com/pub/pistolji...

Well holy shit! Casey’s one of the best doing it and a stand-up dude to boot with excellent taste in movies. Huge congrats and can’t wait to read them!!

Took the day off to spend it with this lady. She’s been nice enough to remain married to me for 20 years today. +6 on top of that before we married. 😎

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

BLACK PHONE 2 is great. It feels like a @crobertcargill.bsky.social and Scott Derrickson movie, is is a very good thing. Loved it!!

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

This guy is 7 years sober today: 20th wedding anniversary upcoming; 14 published stories by year’s end; 2nd novel WIP; 1st novel querying and a partridge in a pear tree.

It’s at the top of my TBR pile. It should be on yours too.

I’m going out in a limb that Lt. Kinderman is the best part of The Exorcist.

Working on this magazine, I can diminish the greatness of what began as a tweet from a stranger. This is one of the biggest honors I've received & it reminds me that we are thriving & loved. Thank you #IndieLitMagGala 2025, Alan Perry for making my heart swell, and our nominator for bringing me joy.

Not breaking ground saying Chris's (@scribeofhades.bsky.social) new novel SHITSHOW is great, but I'm saying it anyway. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Happy pub day to @allymalinenko.bsky.social and the release of BROKEN DOLLS. Mine shipped today. Looking forward to seeing what’s hidden within this incredible cover. It feels like we’ve been waiting AGES! So excited to get my hands on it.

Is there anything less useful than Ted Cruz speaking out on any tragedy? I'm not kidding, my dog took a shit earlier and I'm pretty sure it raised spirits more and had a more important impact than a single callow and feigned indignant word from Rafael Edward "Ted" Cruz.

Due to a clerical error we've received numerous reports of nude individuals aggressively assaulted by birds of prey across the US. No reports of these incidents from anywhere else across the globe thanks to general critical thinking skills no longer found within borders of the US.
