It's Halloween week! It's also the anniversary month of my two @malarkeybooks.bsky.social titles, which both happen to be firmly in the Horror genre, among other subgenres. If you like Romance in your Horror, Hell portals, demons, cryptids... give one or both of these a shot! Order links below ⬇️

Trump saw Imelda Marcos and Evita Peron sanewash bad governments with cute outfits, updos and charming media appearances. I think he's been trying to make Melania win hearts and minds with different balcony speeches for years. Might explain why he's on an endless hunt for the hottest Press Secretary

My friend couldn't come out to Goth Night last night because she's taking care of an absolute xylophone of a cat, Ol Man Nugget, nearly twenty and needs his thyroid medication twice daily. The veil is thin this time of year and he could get yoinked through at any moment

We might be able to talk Alan into giving out swords but I can't guaranted thry'll be sharp or made of metal

Thinking about LLMs again and how if I was facing the pressure to make a generational infrastructure change on par with the modern internet, I would try not to go down in history as one of the guys who tried to end the collective unconscious. IDK, maybe that's small picture thinking.

Folks, they're doing everything from the Helicopter Story except gender

a fully post-post-humanist military wherein cloned robot dogs and autonomous hunter-killer AI drones enjoy more rights than enlisted women, co-signatories to the geneva convention, entire populations of most of the planet, etc, etc

Took my wife to see Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time to distract myself from the FACE OF HALLOWEEN drawing and she won us drink tickets with her on stage orgasm

Friday news, but I’m super proud to say that a short horror story of mine is going to be in Hellarkey V!!! Massive thank you to editors @ossuary.bsky.social @renbolger.bsky.social @geoliminal.bsky.social. This is also my 3rd time in Malarkey so this might make me an official Malarker? Malarkeyean?

We haven't said enough about how Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Marco Rubio's dismantling of USAID is destabilizing entire biospheres, as our contributor Nicolas Scibelli reported (shout-out to student journalists!). This is an entirely preventable outcome with multigenerational consequences

The Xylom@thexylom.com

NEW: USAID cuts have threatened decades of forest conservation in Guatemala, forcing communities to find new ways to fund their work and protect the forest. “The withdrawal of USAID was [at] a very critical moment,” says Sergio Balan, a coordinator at Guatemala’s national conservation agency.

I have officially made it to rouns two, and I'm still holding strong at the number one spot. Thank you to everyone who got me this far.

While I never planned for it, for the past year, going to choke, throw, drag, twist, and flip human bodies around twice a week has become one of the pillars that keeps the editor, writer, and publisher brain sane and strong. And it was an honor and a pleasure to get to talk about it with this crew❤️

Austen Rachlis@austenr.bsky.social

It was an absolute joy to have @alexwoodroe.com of @tenebrouspress.bsky.social press on to Secretly Sporty this week! She talked about living in Transylvania, studying a form of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and recounted some (terrifying) Romanian folklore. Check it out! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

'Cozy art is feminist because it is a female dominated art form' is another example of women being rewarded if they perform expected gender roles correctly, even in their art

Reflecting today on how my core advice to other artists is always: read and engage and explore so, so widely outside the neighborhood of your specific practice/genre/personal community Breadth and depth of experience, feeling, life, and praxis... that's where the good shit is!!

Blaming the hippie movement for our current economic situation relies believing every single boomer was part of the hippie subculture in the 60s and not that it was a counterreaction to culture. Emblematic of the belief that art's power is in quantity, not quality

I suppose I was barely old enough to speak when I watched this man's Dracula and had a visceral sense of recognition, Oh, he's just like me! in the midst of a family where I felt like a complete stranger. We had bats in the walls so I figured it explained a lot.

As others have rightly stated, few are as adept at historical horror the way Coy Hall is. You’ll want to read this—I’m positive.

No matter what anyone tells you in indie, “debut” day for your novel doesn’t mean shit. Keep posting it. Every day is your book’s birthday. Mine have done their best sales 3 years after release. Just keep talking about it.
