A beautiful book by @nettirw.bsky.social and @chuckpalahniuk.bsky.social with a wide array of voices from their contributors. Silent Nightmares is out now 💞💀

“August” by @jonathanlees.bsky.social is eerie, provocative, and unapologetically gay. This excerpt feels like horror and your average Saturday night at the club at the same time theramblepress.substack.com/p/ramble-rea... Out now from @lethepress.bsky.social #TheRamble #RambleReads #gayhorror

Me and @danielkraus.com chatting for @commonmag.bsky.social They have brand new book review coverage thecommononline.org/the-post-pul...

Pennywise never left! The characters, atmospheres, influences, and iconography of Stephen King’s 40 yr old massive masterpiece, IT, are explored thoughtfully in Tom Deady’s STILL FLOATING. An insane compendium of top notch collaborators including li’l ol’ me. bookshop.org/p/books/stil...

Trick or treat! Just launched ALL HALLOWS EVE with editor Ellen Datlow, Theresa DeLucci, Jeffrey Ford and Livia Llewellyn at The Twisted Spine tonight… Thanks to everyone who came out and support this spooky anthology!

‘COYOTE VS. ACME’ has now officially surpassed the $30M amount Warner Bros. originally planned to write the film off for. The film is now projected to earn over $60M domestically.

Hey, guess who's got two thumbs and is opening to submissions on Aug 24? It's THIS MAG. Actually, I guess the magazine doesn't have any thumbs, but I—JJA—do, and I'm eager to get them all over dem horror stories after 6 years out of the editorial chair. I guess it will mostly be my other fingers.

Happy Release Day! What a massive pub Tuesday!

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Daniel Kraus gives us a story of technology and identity, violence and biology, care and horror in the far future of The Sixth Nik—his first foray into the hard science fiction genre! Check out @mcflycahill90.bsky.social's review! reactormag.com/book-review-...
