👏 👏 👏

Very glad you could be a part of it!

Ahh, satisfaction—the ever elusive white whale of the true artist!

What’s the holidays w/o a surprise? We’ve been cooking this secret project for a while. Three great writers—Max Halper, @kentkosack.bsky.social, and @johnrcpotter.bsky.social—bring you 300+ engaging pages of top-shelf storytelling w/ considerable thematic depth. Check the press website for details!

You knew this day was coming:

The handbook for the Kali Yuga transforms.

Full color and black-and-white art, photography, and collage; poetry, essays, and creative nonfiction; interviews with Dusty Gannon, Dame Darcy, and Denis Poisson.

Preorder now. More details can be found at our website.

When I checked a few minutes ago, Body Shots 1 was $7.09 at Amazon. We can’t sell it for that price directly, no way no how, but if you’ve needed the best possible deal to pick this up, now is the time, so go get it.

In a Roy Orbison mood today.

Special release celebration pricing for Body Shots 2 ends soon: once the last preorder tracking number is marked delivered. You’ve still got time to lock in the discount though. Head to the Subtle Body Press website and get it while you can.

Nice opening lines. Solid.

What is your strategy for de-integration?

And Tom’s Crossing has one of the best openers—and, consistently, some of the best dialect-in-prose aesthetic—that I’ve read in quite some time. Expertly constructed, well layered, magnificently written. This is A+ God Tier fiction. Go buy this book right now. It’s worth every cent. Every. Cent.

I anticipate few authors as urgently as I do @markzdanielewski.bsky.social. Every work—such as House of Leaves, Only Revolutions, The Fifty Year Sword, The Familiar, The Little Blue Kite—has been brilliant. So, the bar he sets for himself may be high—but I have yet to be let down by him either.

I dig it.

Body Shots is back! Herein, we are genre blind. If we love it, we publish it. The conventional rubs shoulders w/ transgression, sci-fi w/ fantasy, horror w/ comedy, realism w/ surrealism, slice of life, crime fiction... and I am so excited for this year’s lineup. Go check it out!

Good question!

Yonder, Twixt the Vines is immensely 🔥. So glad I got to edit and publish that one.

It was amazing. Top 2 drinks Starbucks has ever done, easy. Fortunately, I have found alternatives: at Caribou Coffee and also while I was in Kennesaw Georgia (Atlanta metro suburbs) recently, a local place (always my preference anyway) called The Coffee Pot. (Which serves coffee and…)

UPDATE: Caribou Coffee saves the day by putting three different Honeycrisp Apple drinks on their menu for this fall season. Found my new MVP in the Honeycrisp Apple Caramel Espresso Shaker. 🥳

For the love of God, why did Starbucks discontinue the Apple Crisp Macchiato? Been looking forward to its return all year. I need answers. 😡

But I wouldn’t have it any other way.

The best thing about publishing is getting to play midwife to a lot of cool shit no one has seen before. The worst part is when you’re all in on the birthing process of so many projects at once that your own WIP languishes in eyeshot on your desk, mean-mugging you daily for your incessant neglect.

Saw the trailer for The Carpenter’s Son and felt compelled to revisit LP1 by FKA Twigs. Still slaps. 10/10, no notes.

My favorite thing about glasses is how they make your vision better by making your vision worse in a different way.

So sorry to hear about this. 😞

Great to hear you’re back at it! 🙌

Can you guess what we’re working on today? | subtlebodypress.bsky.social

Hit me with the best you’ve got.

So much work to do OMFG. But it’ll all be worth it when it’s done.
