My story "Mermaids" has found a home with The No Sleep Podcast! Many thanks to everyone involved for the incredible audio production of this story about familial abuse and addiction.

My first SGJ was "..Good Indians..". He had me for life when he described Lewis just before his fall from changing the overhead fan light. Something about Polaroids stacking up as he blinked and the floor came closer.
So much more about the book: when Elk Head woman turns her head, "the sweat" scene
The fine press edition of @johnlangan.bsky.social's contemporary classic THE FISHERMAN looks AMAZING! Preorders start October 23 at 4pm UKT. (See link in thread below.)

Listening to progress for "The Buck Stops Here" on audio is a surreal experience. We try to breathe the most life we can into our characters. It's interesting how a voice actor does the same, just with a different pair of lungs.

My conversation with @johnlangan.bsky.social on his new collection LOST IN THE DARK turns to the numinous as he describes a ghostly encounter. Plus: we compare John's view of the dif between horror & the weird with @lairdbarron.bsky.social's & @michaelcisco.bsky.social's!

I'm revisiting THE WIDE, CARNIVOROUS SKY and CORPSEMOUTH along with an ARC of LOST IN THE DARK leading up to my author interview later this month, and dang it if @johnlangan.bsky.social isn't one of the most gifted & compelling writers inside genre or out. John's work reminds me why I love to read.
So @badhandbooks.bsky.social is publishing a hardcover edition of @lairdbarron.bsky.social's hit collection NOT A SPECK OF LIGHT, with all-new art by horror artist @slimyswampghost.bsky.social. Here's Trevor's new piece for "Girls Without Their Faces On"... Ghastly! badhandbooks.com/preorders/no...
I am OVER THE MOON because @djmakeamovie.bsky.social read my poetic ode to a fave sub-genre - possession horror - with a twist on the trope... and they liked the idea! 🤩 The poem start at 51 mins, but watch the whole ep because it's free film school! Thanks, Josh & Darren! youtu.be/sv4T2RqDljQ?...
I've never owned a garden hose that didn't leak at the tap or the nozzle after a single use.

it's like three movies in one and the twist will make you do that terrible groan people do when they see a live fist fight or car accident. absolutely brutal
absolutely!
Yo! forgot all about this platform. Your feed popped up immediately after signing in. Hope you're well, Greg!
Completely unsettling. Especially this line from Greg, back from war. Chilled me to the core: “The neat thing about Tiptoe? It’s humane. Curbs the ol’ urges. Ordinarily, it’s enough to catch and release. Ordinarily. You get me, kid?”
