The Night Ship is up on Netgalley for those of you so inclined! Reviewers, friends, enemies, anyone, if that's not accessible for you drop me a line, I *am* keeping a list of who has asked and will be dropping emails shortly. ♥️

As the world goes dark, smuggler Rosi and her crew sail their truck across a murky sea of nothingness.
But something hungry lurks below...

THE NIGHT SHIP BY ALEX WOODROE
PREORDERS OPEN! Coming January 20, 2026 from Flame Tree Press

I can easily imagine it wouldn't be for kids at all, I definitely would have struggled with it

Alex Woodroe @alexwoodroe.com · 11h

An alliance that just gave several people goosebumps and cold sweats.
Good

Alex Woodroe @alexwoodroe.com · 11h

Gonna carry that ego boost with me until the next time

Alex Woodroe @alexwoodroe.com · 12h

I really did 😅 it even tastes familiar

Alex Woodroe @alexwoodroe.com · 12h

🖤 here's to a lot more cool stuff together

Alex Woodroe @alexwoodroe.com · 12h

I would really like that

Alex Woodroe @alexwoodroe.com · 12h

Cool things I got to do:
Try hominy, grits, scrapple, frat house pizza & Dunkin coffee
Arm wrestle a pretty lady
Go running through Gettysburg at six in the morning
Stuff six bodies into a car and belt I'm Blue together
Play Ms Pac-Man and Skee ball
Talk to my indie press heroes & make new friends

Summary of @voidcon.bsky.social: life doesn't owe us much and publishing even less, every chance we get to live new things, be happy in these skins, and love on our people is gravy.
Appreciate the Void for giving us gravy time. They did a great job and looked cool doing it.
Hail Void crew!

If it gets people to buy books I'll wear the fangs myself 😅

Alex Woodroe @alexwoodroe.com · 13h

Appreciate you so much, Andrew 🖤

100% committed to those words. Tenebrous forever

In the intro, @alexwoodroe.com says they’ve “fully embraced the word cult at this point;” it’s warranted. I will buy anything TP puts out because every release is weirder than the last, every printed book is a work of art, and it’s all weird as fuck. Join the Cult; embrace the weird.

BRAVE NEW WEIRD, VOL. 3 (pub. by @tenebrouspress.bsky.social)

BNW V.3 is: a story that repeatedly tells you what it is not; trafficking your own organs to prove that you’re human; finding love in the backrooms; wikipedia editors bickering over apocalyptic semantics; sunflakes & the myth of snow—

Coming this November!

Cerulean Sky is a story about absolution set in an America that’s been ravaged by a disease that turns people incorporeal.

It’s my love letter to The Stand!

HUGE NEWS DAY!

We have a new @egallagher.bsky.social SPLIT SCREAM cover to share!

(In lesser news, there's a new T-Swift album! And that is literally all the news.)

Anyway! SPLIT SCREAM: CURSED PLACES! Featuring novelettes from @sonorataylor.bsky.social & @matthewtpritt.bsky.social

April 2026🖤☠️

Cover art: the two illustrations feature a foreboding, wildly framed mirror and a human silhouette in the reflection; and two hands clutching a mysterious organic, vaguely heart-like mass; plus a blurb from M.Shaw.

My publisher has demanded more blurbs! It could be you!

David Corse @itsmedavidcorse.bsky.social · 13d

Anyone interested in blurbing my my new novella?

The Stand x Bones and All

I have an extremely limited number of arcs, unfortunately.

Alex Woodroe @alexwoodroe.com · 11d

Yeah there's definitely some sort of herbal spirits by that name!
