Listen to our latest episode!
In this interview, we chat with Cassidy McFadzean (@cassidymcfadzean.bsky.social) about skewing prepositions, trusting the reader, opting for vibes over plot, and so much more.

Awww! Thank you, Jen! 🤩
Surreal to see this 10-year retrospective on my collection, Greener Pastures. Moving, too, as I teared up reading it just now, thinking back on where I was then and what I was (and have been) trying to do. Thank you, Mr. November and The Blog Without a Face.

Thank you, Eva!!! ☺️

My debut horror collection, Greener Pastures, is 10 (!!!) years old today. That’s pushing 250 in book age, but it is still finding readers all these years later. And I’m still blubberingly grateful.

Dirty Three, Atlanta, 3/28/26 - wonderful show - the drummer, Jim White, seems to be staring directly at me in the photo I took
One of my favorite bookstores that I haven't visited yet...emphasis on the "yet." Beautiful to see The October Film Haunt in the front window of Little Ghosts in Toronto.
ICYMI: @mikethorn.bsky.social and I had a riveting conversation with @michaelwehunt.bsky.social on the latest episode of @craftworkpod.bsky.social. We spoke about "earthy" writing, rendering dread on the page, the unanticipated weirdness of public selfhood, and so much more.

If you’re curious about how I approach putting words together into creepy sentences into unsettling paragraphs into terrifying pages, this has to be by far the longest I’ve ever droned away on the subject.

The new episode of @craftworkpod.bsky.social is live! Mike and Miriam focus their podcast on just that — the craft of the work of writing — so I was honored and nerding out during our great conversation. Deep-ish and fun and hopefully a tiny bit insightful.

It would have been amazing to see Sinners win a few more Oscars, but what a bold and warm glow of recognition it received. A remarkable film built from so many remarkable efforts and talents.
Horror has a unique power to resonate, especially in a hollow, horrific world.

Tomorrow is the last day to vote in the Bram Stoker Awards. My novel The October Film Haunt is a nominee in the First Novel category, and it’s a crazy honor. Thank you to all the voting members who got the Pine Arch Creature this far, and if you want a last-minute read, DM me for a digital copy! ♥️

This is some dark, sick shit. Our kids deserve a better country than this. We all deserve a better world than this. We have no choice but to defund and dismantle DHS and ICE, and prosecute every ghoul who brought us to this terrible place.

Hey, this was one of my favorite books of last year. Please support an awesome horror novel and an equally awesome author!
Thank you for that, Dmitri! 🔥
I don't have experience with the audiobook edition, but I dearly love Heaney's translation.
I've been away, strained, offline but still news-stabbed, physically sick, and emotionally gutted by this world and its injustice and corruption and evil and war and rot, but to everyone out there with a good heart on the right side of history, I love you and have you collectively in my thoughts.

HWA voting members! The October Film Haunt is a Stoker Award Finalist in the First Novel category, and per the etiquette and rules found in a tomb in the woods, I'm offering a free digital copy for your consideration - feel free to DM me. I couldn't be more honored to be on this ballot. 📼♥️
I would drool all over that series. At a certain point, there would be the sense that something was Wrong in the drooling.
Looking forward to this. Great premise, great writer.
Oh hell yes 😍
Good to see you outside the corpse of Twitter. Thank you from the bottom of my dead heart. I hope you enjoy!!
On my good days, I think we'll live to see it.
Our world is crawling with monstrous evil.
Excellent Libro shout-out! I should've done that.
That's some fantastic Canadian vampire energy!
