the bracket tournament was such a cool addition to RevPit! I got blown out in the 1st round, but it was great getting selected to participate! Congrats to the winner!

latest read: Beyond the Mark - Kevin Gallant - @kevin-gallant.bsky.social - A redemption tale for a fallen, but not lost, hero. Flynn finds ways to make the right choices, even when they're harder, as he rediscovers himself. Ending leaves the possibility of a sequel.

latest read: Dead Silence - S.A. Barnes - A solid sci-fi and horror mashup. Evil corp? Check. Haunted ship? Check. Strong psychological elements mean a lot of the story happens the MC's head. If that's your flavor of horror, there's a lot to like here

Always be closing

just finished that a few weeks ago. so good! I think I'm reading her "A House with Good Bones" next
I feel like Annie Oakley is ready for some horrific time travel / survival problems
Shriya is a modern MacGyver who can make anything out of anything, but she won't quit the gang she's in, despite the horrible things they do, because they took her in when no one else would
Joe here and I write sci-fi horror, with a dash of the unexplainable. Lately, I've been enjoying the Sworn Soldier Series by Kingfisher. Good folk horror for cold nights

dual POV, 3rd person close.
Keir Danjuma is a micro-bioligist fleeing the galaxy
Benoit Adewale is a sadistic criminal tagging along on the same ship
Zandrax, Matlalatzin, Wen, and Cannagh are the aliens/demons that are going to play a game with them
#revpitwaiting
A microbio engineer running from his past finds himself trapped on an interstellar transport and must find a way to survive with only convicts and demons for companions.

what a ride. I bought the sequel the next day
latest read: Dungeon Crawler Carl - Matt Dinniman. I worry about books with a lot of hype, but the hype is deserved here. Delightful levels of absurdity but never forgets that it's a book about a human level extinction event told by somebody with some scores to settle

thanks for that! I'm hoping people don't mind a little fantasy in their sci-fi (and horror)
entered. go team space horror! #revpit #RevPitWaiting
27 Million Parsecs to Hell
Keir Danjuma is a bio-engineer who thinks he can escape his past by leaving the galaxy, but four aliens, or maybe they're demons, have decided he needs to play a game with them first

once again #revpit is upon us! A lot more interest in horror this year than some of the prior ones

latest read: Crypt of the Moon Spider - Nathan Ballingrud - beautiful and weird. It's on the shorter side, so you can lay down in the language and spend some quality time with it while it burrows into your brain
#reading #bookblog #booksky #horrorbooks
latest read: Into Neon - Matthew A. Goodwin - @thutoworld.bsky.social . Old fashioned cyberpunk. No surprises, but well done. More body augs than some other offerings and no punches pulled on the violence that requires new body parts.

this is a great way to find more people in the horror community
two weeks of grinding out edits, but finally got last year's space horror into the hands of some beta readers. it's still rough but they're doing me a solid and putting eyes on it

latest read: Horrorstör - Grady Hendrix. slow build and then the horror went from a 2 to a 9 in about a chapter. stayed pretty relentless for the rest of the book
#reading #bookblog #booksky #horrorbooks
latest read: All She Was Worth - Miyuki Miyabe - 3rd Miyabe book I've read. Just as quirky as the others. I really liked the ending, not expected.

well, hello there Clockwork Orange, it's been a while. We're not quite to moloko vellocet yet, but it feels like 2026 is going to be the year we see caffeinated milk in schools
1st read of '26: Not a Speck of Light - Laird Barron - @lairdbarron.bsky.social
- 'Blood in My Mouth' and 'Tiptoe' were exceptional. All around solid horror short stories, with some overlap (big fan). All of them Alaska winter bleak.

finished the ugly 1st draft for the new WIP. faster, but messier than the one I finished back in March. guess we'll see how the edits go
#fiction #horror #writing #writingcommunity #horrorwriters #editing

watched Fatman this weekend and was blown away by Walter Coggins ("Skinny Man"). Every line, every action was malice and menace. Such an efficient depiction of villainy. it was amazing
