My book is out and could use some readers. ALL THE STARS DIE. Six cosmic horror novellas. "Beautifully written stories that evoke a kind of pleasant, comforting nihilism. Existential dread meets bucolic nostalgia."
Give it a read and let me know what you think.

In a run-off, I never believed I'd have the Catholic Church over Trump, but since this is the worst timeline, here we are.
Well I am very surprised. WHY I LOVE HORROR is a finalist for a Locus Award. For this book to be embraced by the Horror community made me so happy, but to see it crossing into the larger "speculative" space is beyond what I thought possible.

Hey, thanks for this! Glad you're enjoying ALL THE STARS DIE.
I love your "existential dread meets bucolic nostalgia." That's a perfect description.
And yay! Guster!

And you're right about Cindy!
Advocate: J.K. Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fund anti-transgender organization.
You absolutely cannot separate the artist and the art without contributing to the persecution of trans people. Boycott everything Potter.

Hey friends, readers, spooky folks. If you’ve read The Denizens and have a chance to leave a review on the ‘Zon, it would be greatly appreciated. Frustratingly, those things do help. All the 🖤.

Well, thanks, Toby. I'm blushing, but I'm also glad you enjoyed ALL THE STARS DIE!
Thanks, man! I think you're gonna like it.
Well it's evolving news, Michael. But yeah, this'll probably add another 200- 250 pages to the original text. As @badhandbooks.bsky.social quietly sweats as I write...
Oh wow! Feels like this second chunk that’s being written now is fresh news? Or did I somehow forget this entirely? This is fantastic news, John!
This is true. Two new chunks are being added, one previously published with limited distribution and another I'm writing now.
In the end, this Final Edition of The Fearing will be about half again the size of the original edition.
Order it today!
Thanks! I hope we have another happy reader!
You might try THE END IN ALL BEGINNINGS, my Stoker Award nominated collection or ALL THE STARS DIE, my cosmic horror collection.
It absolutely does, and it's to DARK STARS what Stephen King's "The Mist" is to DARK FORCES.
