Nefarious Bat Press - TC Parker

It's Lesbian Visibility Week 🏳️‍🌈👩‍❤️‍👩

So...

Go ahead: perceive me, textually!

(I'm happy to say, there are dykes as far as the eye can see in every book I've written: horror dykes; con artist dykes; Dykes To Watch Out For, Lest They Turn Into Werefoxes...

You can't go wrong)

4/15/26 — BRIAN KEENE Katherine does some excellent world building in a short amount of time (this is a novella rather than a full length novel), and her prose is note perfect.

Good morning. Today I want to talk about @katsilvaauthor.bsky.social's wonderful novella, Undead Folk. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

2/2 Now I think I could definitely write a remake of that one as an out and out scary horror film. To some degree, Charles L. Grant attempted that with his novel, The Long Night of the Grave.

Fearsome and Feminine: Celebrating Women in Horror Month March is Women in Horror Month. More than ever, it’s so important to shine a light on all the fierce stories that women are crafting in horror today.

I was so thrilled & honored to put together a roundtable for Women in Horror Month at The Lineup!

Featuring @rebecca-rowland.bsky.social, @garnetonwinter.bsky.social, @gracedalyauthor.bsky.social, @jawmccarthy.bsky.social, @candacenola.bsky.social, & Mae Murray!

3/17/26 — BRIAN KEENE Anyway, my collection was always based primarily on the Bronze Age titles of the 1970s and 1980s — Marvel, DC, Charlton, Gold Key, etc. After that, it made sense to go back and collect the Silver Age ...

Good morning. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

Book Mail yesterday. Recieved my 20th anniversary autographed copy of TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME. One of the best parts of ordering from @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social is the little extras you find, like sexy head shot postcards of @briankeene.bsky.social.

If you are an author or editor at *ANY* level -- from beginner to jaded old veteran like me, click through to the article Todd's posting about, take 2 minutes, and email them to let them know you opt out. Will save us all time having to mount yet a 577th class-action suit down the road.

Hey want to be a writer? Then write. It’s not that hard to type or scrawl. Want to kneecap yourself? Use an AI to “assist” you. Discover how quickly you begin to rely on it, how fast you experience creative rot, how you cease to learn the craft, and how fast that original spark of passion dies.

Thank you! I had so much fun designing it, and I'm immensely grateful to @shortwavebooks.bsky.social for going along with my crazy idea. 🤣

A brochure for the Fairview Acres retirement community that is actually an ad for The Sundowner's Dance by Todd Keisling.

A brochure for the Fairview Acres retirement community that is actually an ad for The Sundowner's Dance by Todd Keisling.

This is one of the best advertising gimmicks I've seen for a horror novel. It looks like a flyer for a retirement community. But it looks a little off...

There's a QR code on the back. It leads to a page for The Sundowner's Dance by @toddkeisling.com.

I did a thing today!

Stopped by @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social and saw @briankeene.bsky.social and @marysangiovanni.bsky.social, and had a blast. This constituted a mini-roadtrip for me, @ecfnj.bsky.social and @bluntlittletool.bsky.social, along with The Bug, and it was a glorious outing.
