Exactly one year ago today, ALL THE HEARTS YOU EAT washed ashore 🫀

My coastal Gothic vampire novel surrounding the death of a young woman in a Massachusetts tourist town tore open old scars in the writing, but I hope it's helped some for those who've read it. Thank you for letting it in 🖤
one year washed ashore, still beating (with a heart emoji)
Below that, the cover of All the Hearts You Eat by Hailey Piper, art by Julia Lloyd showing a fanged beast emerging from a stormy sea. Around the cover are several kind quotes:
Cynthia Pelayo: "gorgeous yet tragic"
Sofia Ajram: "utterly haunting"
Logan-Ashley Kisner: "like Twin Peaks bred with The Lost Boys"
Publishers Weekly in a starred review: "a powerful tale"
Delilah S. Dawson: "Stephen King's It for a new generation"
Hildur Knútsdóttir: "sad, furious, hopeful"
Lindsay King-Miller: "here to rip a hole in your world"
Keith Rosson: "a fever dream"

Trump and Bessent clarify that they will only help out Argentina as long as Milei is in power. Trump adds that the same thing goes with NYC, where the White House will hold up funds if Mamdani wins.

“Futility,” by @nuzo.bsky.social is a guilty pleasure of a novel in which the most grotesque, graphic and brutal miseries are inflicted- and yet it’s nothing short of…fun. Hot, hearty and sour *insert soup joke* this one is out October 14th from @titanbooks.bsky.social

Full review:
Review: Futility by Nuzo Onoh | FanFiAddict
Synopsis: Betrayed by the men in their lives, two women seethe with rage and bitterness. When a trickster spirit offers them the gift of revenge, they canno ...

SHARKS ON HOVERBOARDS BETTER BE IN THE HISTORY BOOKS

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Today is publication day for NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND, my latest book from @wordhorde.bsky.social, so it seems serendipitous that I also got my author copies today!

Dr. Phil went full MAGA and tried to reinvent himself as a MAGA media mogul and culture warrior. Now his world is unraveling, his media company is laying off thousands and had to file for bankruptcy, and he's being sued for fraud. The whole plan is collapsing.

Rest in Peace to the great Drew Struzan, a man whose work sparked the imaginations of a whole generation of movie nerds. The master is gone.

I had the privilege of visiting him in his studio once and getting to talk shop. Here’s his words on one of his masterpieces:

Oh man… that fucking hurts. I absolutely loved his work. So many iconic movie posters indelibly buried in my brain. The man was incredibly gifted.
