I have an AMA on r/horrorlit tomorrow. If you're a redditor, come see me. Mostly it is to promote 120 MURDERS. Would also be pleased to find a reason to talk about Kalivas! or anything else you'd like to ask me.

The background image is a close-up on a black record player and a record with a white center. A white box in the center reads “Ask Me Anything” in black font with an orange box beneath this text. White text in the orange box reads, “r/horrorlit, 10.15.25, 3 PM ET.” The Reddit logo is just above and to the right of this. A circular photo of Nick Mamatas sits centered at the top in the surrounding white box; it is circled in orange, with Nick’s name appearing arched above this in white and black text. A smaller white rectangle further down the image reads “links.ruadanbooks.com/120MAMA” in orange text. The Ruadán Books logo appears in the upper left of the graphic.

@briankeene.bsky.social Hi Brian! Not sure if you’re still on a social media break, but when you return I have a question!

I just re-read Darkness on the Edge of Town.

Dez’s brief story of battling Meeble in WV is so evocative. Have you ever covered his experience in any other book or short story?

Finished “The End Of The World As We Know It” and want to do two things immediately (see image). I’ll return to this anthology for many rereads. And Wayne Brady… can’t be that Wayne Brady? Laws yes. 🖤💙📚😱 #constantreader #shortstories #darkfiction @briankeene.bsky.social @cgolden.bsky.social
