🦇 Phrique 🦇

Scissor Me Timbers definitely pushed me into my PANK era. Do you need more pink in your life? It might be the answer to your prayers. 🛐 Phrique.Bigcartel.Com 🩷

Curse Me By Your Name drops January 2026! ❣️ Fetch the peroxide, there will be blood. ❣️

The devil whispered, “Thou doth have room for more horrific books of ill-repute” to me 👀👂🏽🤚🏽😈 & who am I to disregard Ground Zaddy’s very cogent argument.🔥🤔🔥 #vintagehorror #paperbacksfromhell #horrorsky

Curse Me By Your Name synopsis + cover reveal! I finished Curse Me By Your Name last night! So to celebrate I’m dropping the synopsis + cover that I drew for my first mini-bomination (chapbook)! Planning to drop in January, which is perfect cuz I still haven’t finished drawing the back cover yet. 😅

I have been bibelot-deficient for like a whole week, could you believe it?! Then this beaut showed up today & the dopamine spilled forth. I’m certain the 100% Soft Return of The Living Dead dumpster fire will fill the endless void. 😻

Need I say more? (No I am not being kidnapped, which is exactly what the kidnappers told me to say.) Slay The Lake: Chicago LGBTQ+ Horror Book Fest. Tinley Park. 11.15.25. 12-5pm #horrorsky #horror

I can’t believe Slay The Lake: Chicago #LGBTQ+ Horror Book Fest is already a week away. I’ve been looking forward to this since…well, since the last one! I’m hyped to see everyone again + all the new faces as well. 🙀 Hurry up Saturday! 🖤 #horrorsky #horror

Gig of the Damned: Slay the Competition & Scissor Me Timbers FREE on Kindle 10/31 & 11/1! To celebrate my 2 fav holidays, GOTD/SMT are free Fri/Sat! In remembrance of all my slain queens/sisters that fell from grace, some of my favorite character are gone but never forgotten. 🖤 #horrorsky #horror

Don’t ask why someone needs a grappling hook; ask what kind of life doesn’t require one. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Gig of the Damned by @splatterzaddy.bsky.social Phrique understood the assignment. This book is not just a slasher with drag queens. Gig of the Damned is a genuine Drag Queen Slasher. The cover art captures the vibe perfectly. 🌈📚💙📚😱📚🩸 #queerhorror #bookreview

FYI: Death drop takes on a whole new meaning in the official trailer for Tina Romero’s queer zombie horror QUEENS OF THE DEAD, slaying into theaters this October.

I forgot one of the *other* best parts of finishing up a new book is 🤩 MERCH. I whipped up a fun bookmark so readers can decide if they’re #TeamPhrique or #TeamAsher! ☯️ Who are you rooting for? It’s a hard choice indeed. Who knew Dorian Grey went both ways? 🙄 Ugh. @darkshorror.bsky.social

Are you wearing th- The #Krampus hoochie daddy shorts? Yeah, I am. 😌

Next major title announcement & Happy Friday the 13th! I said why not celebrate by announcing my first ever collaboration w/ the 1 & only @darkshorror.bsky.social This WIP is well under way & amping up to be one of the most fun I’ve had in a project so far. #splatterpunk #horrorcommunity #horrorsky

Finally posted my review for @marcruvolo.bsky.social ‘s Waste Ground! Portlandia meets Mad Max with cults, creatures, & all the creep factors! ☠️ #horrorsky #horrorcommunity www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Important discussions were had, shade (all from @mattforgit.bsky.social ) was thrown, movie tea was spilt (@brandonperras.bsky.social delivers), & face journeys were journeyed last night with Jim Groves! The Facebook Live is still up & available on YouTube. 🖤 www.youtube.com/live/2qNYSkA...

Join @mattforgit.bsky.social @brandonperras.bsky.social & I for another rousing game of “please for the love of all that is holy, don’t mention Suspiria or The New York Ripper.” Today @ 6:30pm. Be there of be a straggot! www.facebook.com/share/g/16kx...

Dropping June 15th! I can’t wait for everyone to meet Cherry, Chocolate, & Vanilla — as they do the thing we’ve all been hoping SOMEONE would do— in, “Is He Dead Yet?” 🖤 #splatterpunk #horror #horrorcommunity

Head over to instagram to enter for a chance to win the YOU 👏🏽 OWN 👏🏽 EVERYTHING 👏🏽 bundle! Running from 5/30-6/2! Happy birthday Gig of the Damned! 🖤 www.instagram.com/share/BAGKtW...

May 17th is #IDAHOBIT! Gentle reminder that I am: •queer as poptarts •anti-hate •pro-extinction of the dinosaurs/their antiquated ideals •safe space/protector of the dolls I will never shut up, quite literally. Let me know if you have a problem with any of the above so I can give you another one.🖤

What’s a competitive phone game that the masses are playing that has a leaderboard etc? This is so dumb, of all the things I’ve had to research for this story…this is the one I need to phone a friend for. “You bitch!” Chocolate yelled, “You beat my _______ score!” (my arsonist cat for attention)

I’m currently in the middle of two short stories that are due like jdhdirrkdjf tomorrow?!? (Hyperbolic) But then this idea I have for a hitman’s last job going horribly awry called “Extenuating Circumstances” keeps tap-dancing to the forefront of my paperthin attention span. Brain, why you do dis?!

#Horror authors of the Midwest, sound off please! Where are you from? I’m trying to see something. 🤔 I’m in the Chicago burbs btw. 🤗 #horrorsky #horrorauthors #horrorcommunity

Horror authors of the Midwest, sound off please! Where are you from? I’m trying to see something. 🤔 I’m in the Chicago burbs btw. 🤗

It’s remarkable what my brain is capable of when it knows I have studying to do. 😅

How come everyone says “UH OH” whenever I start a sentence with “Soooo I got bored and…” Oh that’s right…things like this happen. 🤭 Sorry, not sorry. I’m making adverts for everythinggggg now. 🖤

Watching another movie with multiple names/posters & I love them all. 😻 #horrorsky #horror

Hey guys, how come nobody told me that I look like this when I make “the face.” 🥲

Do you want something dark, fun, creepy, sexy, and unhinged? Look no further! godless.com/products/deb... books2read.com/DebasingSeth aiden-e-messer.itch.io/debasing-seth

Got the urge to draw a chibi lil’ Cthulhu. Did 👏🏽 that 👏🏽 & it Katamari roll’d into this maximalist monstrosity. Calling it “Creepy. Caffeinated.” Ever took a biopsy of brain cells, this would be what you saw in the microscope. 👀 Just for fun, hoping my mom puts it on the fridge.🎨👨🏽‍🎨 #PhriqueArt #horror

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Omg I’m blown away. Thank you so much Marc. This means the world to me. 🖤

A wild phrique spawn will be appearing in Williamsburg soon! Plz don’t alert the townspeople, I want it to be a surprise. 🖤 #scaresthatcare #authorcon

What’s that? We’re doing banners for #Authorcon V? Hold my baby & say no more! 👐🏽👶🏽 #Scaresthatcare SOON! Come say Hi! 👋🏽 I will have enough stickers to overstimulate an entire town of people. I promise I don’t bite, @darkshorror.bsky.social does, but she’ll be tranquilized & muzzled. 🖤

Ufff they don’t kill ‘em off like this anymore. 🖤 [excerpt from Charles L. Grant’s “The Nestling”] #horrorsky #horrorcommunity #vintagehorror #paperbacksfromhell

#Bookmail from the one & only David Irons! My first physical copies, all the way from across the pond. Hyped to dive into these. 🖤 #supportindiehorror #horrorsky #horrorcommunity

Saints be Praised! 🙏🏽

I loved “Brick by Brick” enough to make it the official bookmark for #ScissorMeTimbers! Preorder is Amazon/Kindle, official release date: 4.1.25. Physical copies/all merch go live on my site 4.1.25 as well. If you can’t wait, the ebook is already available on phrique.bigcartel.com 🙏🏽

That’s a wrap on my cursed Full House script. All will be able to read this ridiculous, nostalgic, bloody good fun soon! This was a welcome break from the editing process, but now it’s time to get back to it. 💪🏽

Putting the final touches on my Kimmy Gibbler: Portrait of a Serial Killer short story. Excited for the world to read this punchy switchblade romance sitcom, where the scariest part is that hot pink jumpsuits were a thing back then. Coming to you geekburgers soon. 🩷 #horrorsky #horrorcommunity
