Sometimes I get distracted in that fantasy where I imagine going back and reliving my life and doing everything right this time. But the truth is, the hard scary truth, is that I'd probably repeat every single fuck up.
hi! regarding our BEST TRANS HORROR OF THE YEAR reprint anthology. we are looking for authors who identify as trans only because we specifically want to platform (and pay) trans voices.
It is a fact that anytime Max posts outgoing orders, and one of my books is not included, Amelia Earhart vomits dirt into his home. Luckily, I spy CONJURING THE WITCH in there. Max's carpets are safe for another day.
This is amazing! Congratulations, Hailey!

Editor Daniel Carpenter acquired world English rights from Lane Heymont at The Tobias Literary Agency. The short story collection, Teenage Girls Can Be Demons, will be published in September 2025 with the novel, This Movie Doesn’t End the Way We Want, following in September 2026. The new deal "promises to bring more inventive and heart-wrenching queer horror" that Piper is known for.
Teenage Girls Can Be Demons will contain 13 "coming-of-rage" stories which take "our most difficult years of transformation and twist them into a new and terrifying shapes".
At last, the announcement! 🤩 @titanbooks.bsky.social and I are signed up for a three-book deal!
September 2025 will bring my coming-of-age horror collection TEENAGE GIRLS CAN BE DEMONS 😈
September 2026 will bring a new novel THIS MOVIE DOESN'T END THE WAY WE WANT 🎞️
With one more novel in 2027 🎉

Publishers marketplace announcement for CRAFTING FOR SINNERS by Jenny Kiefer.
I never posted this here - my next book, CRAFTING FOR SINNERS, releases next year (October now!). I'm finishing the dev edits now & can't wait for everyone to read this gay, cathartic book
Define weird...because my roasted garlic, pepper jack, bacon mac and cheese is nontraditional but excellent!!!
A meme from The Simpsons with a bus driver tapping a sign that reads "The South is full of good people that are on your side that are held back by gerrymandering, disenfranchisement, and regressive policies"
Fan PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ME TAP THE SIGN.
You are not better just because you live in the North. Stahp joking about merging with Canada. Stop joking about throwing Florida in the ocean.
It helps no one.
Hearing this is where the fun is. Would like the fun. Do you have the fun?
I absolutely *loved* Conjusring the Witch by @jessicaleonard.bsky.social. Definitely my favorite small / indie press book I’ve read so far that was published in ‘23.
Thank you so much!
Only a week away from this awesome event! I'll be there!
Home alone today and living like a happy feral ghost. Snackys all day. Binging TV. Watching Instagram reels and stories. Randomly wandering outside. No agenda. I am my only god.
The latest episode of This Is Horror Podcast is a crossover with @ghoulish.bsky.social. I interview @fuckmaxbooth.bsky.social about his new @cemeterygatesmedia.bsky.social book THE LAST HAUNT and he interviews me about HOUSE OF BAD MEMORIES.

Submitted for the approval...🥰
Conjuring the Witch from @jessicaleonard.bsky.social was excellent and put Antioch on my radar. And thanks to @ghoulish.bsky.social I've conjured Antioch into my reality.
If you've never read my books, this is your moment to shine.

I'm going to see John Waters in Nashville tonight, and I'm so excited I can't sit still.
Inside Llewyn Davis is a beautiful tragic masterpiece and I think about it all the time.
Important: My turtle friend had come back for a visit.
I haven't written a short story in one thousand years and I'm not sure I remember how.
I've done it again (I caught a summer cold).
