So the cat is out of the bag! IN VACUO, my second novel for @titanbooks.bsky.social, is going to be published next February and I’m excited! With a big cast of characters, multiple timelines, and 160k words (!!!), I believe the correct publishing lingo is *sprawling* 🌫️ 🌀 ⏳

IN VACUO just landed on @netgalley.bsky.social courtesy of @titanbooks.bsky.social Come get lost in the mist, there are things in there! UK: tinyurl.com/2rftzx62 US: tinyurl.com/5ah2fxbn

"books should start with action" "the first pages must introduce the protagonist" "world building should be invisible" hush child ms. robin mckinley is speaking

He was Frank of course, and Gabriel to many of us in the gaming community, and the Pennywise of my childhood nightmares, and countless others. A true icon. If I close my eyes, I see him. ❤️

There is no such thing as an AI "creator". Just sloppers.

Thrilled to announce The Strange Architect series over at Variety. There were several possibilities, but thankful to FSG for stepping up and creating a home for it. variety.com/2026/biz/new...

Our first special guest post kicking off the Darker Times Subscriber Drive comes from wonderful @rachelharrison.bsky.social as she pens a wry, relatable essay about horror, anxiety, and facing down death. Read Do You Guys Ever Think About Dying? here: www.darkertimes.com/anxiety-horr...

BOOK OUT

Influenced by @talkscaredpod.bsky.social in Pittsburgh and part of a summery Stephen King double bill, this one + Wolves of the Calla, again to follow in Neil, @natcassidy.bsky.social & @scribeofhades.bsky.social footsteps.

Everybody was right: Widow’s Bay ep 8 was amazing

Titan Publishing is devastated by the loss of Katharine Trowbridge (Carroll), our US Publicity Director. "A consummate professional, she coupled charm and grace with an infectious sense of humour. She will be missed terribly."—Laura Price, Editorial Director of Titan Books

Widow's Bay, Our Baggage. What an episode.

Get them while they're hot!

I'm going CRAZY. youtu.be/cmjpadVj-Vk?...

Better late than never.

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

"I found myself beginning to trust the supernatural as it is [...] As a tool and as a narrative force that doesn’t need to be doubted. [...] The supernatural is now the reality; the supernatural is the literary pact made with the reader." Thank god for Mariana Enriquez.

The world of cinema, and beyond, hasn't been the same since.

I wrote a short story about the surveillance state 😇

Happy birthday among the stars to the patron saint of us all, the great Octavia Butler.

Always, wall in Milan, always.

This cover is everything. @toddsjordan.bsky.social is a rockstar! (A real one!)

Obsession: I went in fairly prepared, I think, but still it wrecked me. My poor nerves.

Very slow day because this morning we gave blood to our local hospital (my bp plummeted afterwards) and this, by @hildur.bsky.social, feels entirely appropriate! 🩸❤️

@boneysoups.bsky.social has written a true banger that's out in less than a month and you need to read it ASAP.

Was not expecting where BACKROOMS was going before going in (then it was pretty evident from the get go, tbh), but I had a lot of fun! And visually it was so haunting.

every once in a while i will feel a great pressure to exist, but then i just have to sit back and relax and remind myself 'oh wait, you already exist without even trying. GOOD JOB.' i think this realization can be a huge relief

HIGHLY RELATABLE. (But I'm also jet-lagged. Does this qualify as an excuse?)

I don't think there should be any billionaires. I know, with an iron-clad certainty, that there shouldn't be any trillionaires.

Happy Pride everyone! 🌈✨ This is a snippet from last week's beautiful Pride parade in Pittsburgh—second Pride of the season, first was Kraków, next up Milan! 🌈

Happy Pride to queer authors.

If there is one thing that Stokercon left me—other than the friends I met and the goodies I got—is this wealth of creative energy. So I need to clear my post-Pittsburgh to-do list and then I can't wait to get back to the new novel!! 🌃🎇🌉🌠🎭 (Not a random collection of emojis!)

Stokercon (& Dublin) book haul. Had to be conservative due to luggage space... or perhaps not. Feat. @mollymcghee.com, @hildur.bsky.social, @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social, @deenahelm.bsky.social, @natcassidy.bsky.social and A. L. Sterling.
