Need a little whimdark in your life? The fifth story in my folk horror comedy series, The Langdon Home for Malevolent Livestock, is up! You can read them all here: www.scribblehub.com/series/10787...

You ever eat something and you're just like, dang, I get to remember eating this for the rest of my life 😍

I almost went through all of October without picking up one of my Emily Carroll books! A crime!!

LOOK at all this ace art/rep! 😍🤩

Scandalously, when I say I love soup, I really mean stew

Really digging Avatar: Seven Havens

Looks like the vibes are strong with this one! TATRATEA, my weird-eco-gothic-horror-cosmic-SF-post-apocalyptic fever dream of a book is out today, and readers seem to be getting out of it exactly what I was hoping for and more. Thank you for listening. We're all on this one way trip together🌱

I found the writeup about this nostalgic, idiosyncratic, and lovely font to be really interesting! One of my great sins as a writer is that I don't particularly care about fonts. And yet here we are indestructibletype.com/Drafting/

Reading up on the history of jumpscares for funsies. Cackling at Orson "if you're worried the audience is bored, just throw in a screaming bird to stir 'em up" Welles

Put on my good old comfort movie, Paranormal Activity 3, only to realize this is my first watch as a parent! Would that make it scarier (no longer fun), or scarier (even more fun!!) this time around? It's option B, baybeeeeee! Reach those new psychological depths, Toby my boy

Is there a trope name for "these characters already act like an old married couple before they even think to ask each other out"

Very sleepy and filled with adoration for every decent human being, ya know

Launch event for Your Body is a Fever Dream tonight!! I'm gonna be reading my short story! Lifelong dream come true stuff happening, here withfriends.co/event/293444...

I like my litfic stuffy, my romance fluffy, and my horror an unholy marriage between them

D'you ever think that tropes are too communal for the poor souls among us who have been steeped in malignant individualism their entire lives

Today's the day! I'm in this book! As are a whole bunch of INCREDIBLY COOL people!!

I was just reading up on scene separators. An asterisk/bullet point is a dinkus, a floral one is a fleuron, and any other fancy one is a dingbat (1920s slang for a whatchamacallit). The Langdon Home for Malevolent Livestock collection will use tiny animals that change base on who's in the story!

Reminded again that my last words are likely to be a series of increasingly urgent dudes.

PREACH

Another banger, friends

In an ongoing effort to share the specific joys of late 90s/early 2000s horror with my partner, we watched Disturbing Behavior today. I'll be singing Flagpole Sitta for the next two to three weeks if you need me

I was so excited when I saw that Stephen Root was in Widow's Bay, and let me tell, I wasn't excited enough. What a treasure

Hey, for real, this is great

"But to truly have the freedom to make the art we want, we also have to free our minds! We have to detach from any boring, false beliefs in a fair meritocratic hierarchy." HECK YES

It's cardigan weather today, and I am ALIVE

I saw the teeniest tiniest frog today. Smaller than you're thinking. No, smaller, I'm telling you. And it leapt like a champion

Hercule Poirot is a catboy

Very much want to write, but my head is empty empty. The spirit is willing but the brain is dead

Hi. Everything I want to say it at the following link, which contains why I think Patrick Barb should not be HWA President. I'm going to step away from socials for a few hours now, and will see you all later. 🫀 CW: sexual misconduct. theodorehill.weebly.com/statement.html

Happy book birthday to Midwestern Chrome! This book is rad as heck

Plotting a picnic and crafts hangout with some pals where we all make DIY witch brooms. Get OVER here, fall

This is unacceptable, NYT

Speaking my language!

Dreamt Superman was on his way to save someone who knew Clark Kent, so he called ahead first to say, "Okay so I've changed my face, but not, like, a lot. So maybe just pretend you don't recognize me."

"I'll play a fun word game to relax," I tell myself with breathtaking disregard for the 98% of the time I reach cortisol levels normally reserved for bank heist hostages while rearranging consonants

I could really go for a rewatch of Pushing Daisies

Today I have been comparing the scenes in the three live-action Spider-Man franchises where Peter Parker's love interest learns his secret identity as if this were my job, my calling, my solemn duty to perform

Just adoring Widow's Bay. That whole cast is a treasure

Snail shells are pretty dang magical

Holy figs this is great

I've got a story in here!! Couldn't be more thrilled!

When I used to imagine the future, I was wholely unprepared for how often my conversations would start with, "So I don't know if this was real or not,"

Been on a Modest Mouse kick lately. Building Nothing Out Of Something especially is just really hitting right now

I watched the Austrian horror film Hotel during a bout of insomnia, and let me tell you: there is no better way to have experienced it 🤩

Heck yesssssss

I am going to put all of my music on an mp3 player, and return to bliss
