Had a terrific time hosting @mathildazeller.bsky.social at Mysterious Galaxy this evening as she’s on tour promoting her new novel, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU IN THE DARK. It just released on Oct 13 via Tor Nightfire and should not be missed! Please consider getting yourself a hardcover or the audiobook.

PUBLIC ACCESS AFTERWORLD by Jane Schoenbrun • Shoutout to Hogarth Books for mailing me this hardcover of Jane’s novel a couple of weeks early. You probably know Jane’s film/tv work like “I Saw the TV Glow” and “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma.” This is a highly anticipated read for me. Hohóú.

Never Whistle at Night, Part II: Back for Blood is officially on AUDIO CD. Yeah, 10 discs. Holy! It exists; it’s real. It’s cool. I just got it today. Produced by Random House Canada. Packaged by Blackstone Publishing. NWAN2.com

I spent the evening of my 2026 #Indigenous Peoples’ Day at the brand-new Barnes & Noble location in San Marcos, CA. I signed so many #horror #books and chatted with lovely folks, many of them also #Native, that the line was constant for over an hour. Just a great time. NWAN2.com

The New York Public Library just published their 2026 Best New Horror for Adults list, and we are honored to have NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT, PART II: BACK FOR BLOOD included amongst so many other great horror titles. Long live libraries! Make use of them whenever you can; librarians are amazing.

Wishing Kimberly Blaeser a happy pub day for her prose debut: RED ANTS. It’s an amazing story collection that I had the pleasure of acquiring for Counterpoint Press and editing. It was longlisted for the National Book Awards which is an amazing achievement in itself.

It’s October 1st. Let’s go…

It’s always wild to revisit episodes of The X-Files featuring Floyd Red Crow Westerman, cuz I’m just like, hey, there’s my grandpa’s friend.

@joeytainment.bsky.social

Very much looking forward to chilling with Joey and talking comedy and horror. ICYMI, I wrote the foreword for this awesome book he’s putting out. Seeing his release-day comedy show, too, up in LA the night before at the Elysian Theater.

bookstr.com4 Editors on the Realities of Building an AnthologyJoin us as four anthology editors share behind-the-scenes insights into the chaotic and creative process of curating an anthology.

This was a real fun one. Bookstr asked me and three other editors about the process of creating anthologies. Maybe someday I can edit my dream anthology I describe at the end of the article… bookstr.com/article/4-ed...

Like this post if you’d watch a NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT television series. Reply with which stories you’d love to see adapted.

Highly recommend reading this new study published last month when you can find the time. www.environmentalprotectionnetwork.org/wp-content/u...

An author website almost feels required these days, but then I feel like not a lot of folks actually visit them. Do you? What are the things you want to see on our sites? Maybe between what you expect or want and fun extra things you enjoy seeing. shanehawk.com

Today I’m in the San Diego Union-Tribune. Despite the inaccuracies, it still feels cool to be in a newspaper I dreamt of being in as a kid.

I realize the article is becoming paywalled for some folks. Here is what it will look like in print; it just lacks the photo of me in my horror office holding my daughter.

Amazing news to wake up to: Kimberly Blaeser’s RED ANTS is on the longlist for the National Book Award for Fiction. Was my first acquired and edited book for Counterpoint Press, and I’m so proud of Kim. Wow. Huge congrats! 🎉🍾 Preorder it here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/829198...

Did you know Eden Robinson has an epic fantasy novel coming out later this month? THE SORCERESS OF SKY SERPENTS hits shelves September 29th and feels like an Indigenous Game of Thrones. Grateful to have read it early for a blurb! Preorder it today and tell your local library to order copies too.

12 Sept

We Natives know all too well about broken promises, how signed treaties are a “treat” only for the colonizers. They were presented as mutually beneficial for the nascent fed government and Native Nations but were constantly disregarded or favored the Others.

12 Sept

When these wh!te men are proposing GenAI data centers on our Tribal lands, it’s just the 21st-century treaty. We bear all the risks and disruptions while they further destroy our sovereignty, our children’s futures, and The Land.

Any Treehouse of Horror fans? Got 2 of the 6 glow-in-the-dark cups from Jack in the Box tonight. (Jack in the Box started in San Diego, but I don’t honestly know how far spread across the country they are)

A successful opening night for our BACK FOR BLOOD exhibit at 101 Archer in Tulsa, Oklahoma where artist Brent Learned spoke about the new anthology. Around 500 folks showed! #Indigenous #horror #art

It includes an entrance wall w/ bloody creature prints, a curatorial statement from Jessica Doe, a share-your-worst-fears wall, and Brent’s 21 interior illustrations framed and accompanied by didactics. If you can make it to Tulsa, this exhibit will be at the 101 Archer Gallery until November 21st.

Feel good moment of the day: Newspaper photog came over to the house for some shots he forgot to take. Me: “Hey, did I ever show you the shot that got me interviewed by The Weather Channel?” Him: “Nope.” Me: “Here it is. Never edited. Shot on a Canon 7D at Salton Sea.” His jaw dropped. 😁📸
