Psssssst, I need your help!
My partner and I designed a game, programmed it (!), and some rad creatives (f*ck AI) helped flesh it out... and the demo is live!

It would help the tiny team SO much if people would play and review! 🙏

Delilah S. Dawson's short story 'Blank Space' was a hit at the Inkfoundry booth at Grapevine Horror BookFest (in the "Horrific Romance" directory) I've read more than a few of her books and stories and they've all given me the pleasurable ick. Big recommend from me.

Today is my birthday, and if you'd like to celebrate with me, perhaps you will consider buying one of my books? Physical copy, e-book, audiobook-- most of 'em available in your preferred format from your usual online retailer or indie bookstore. All I want for my birthday is to keep writing books.

This is a collage of 9 of Delilah' books. She has about 32 of them, though, if you don't see what you're looking for. Some even feature VAMPIRE NIPPLES.

Can't wait to chat with Helen McClory tomorrow! I loved this in "Lore" -- "The weather could change on a penny-spin." And indeed, it does.

Electric Sheep @electricsheepsf.bsky.social · 11d

A story in Helen McClory's collection, "Lore," creeped me out so much I still remembered it years after I read it. It's in her wonderful collection, MAYHEM & DEATH. It's available at 404 Ink if you're in the UK.

New Poem Day!
"God and the Aquifer" on Pink Hydra. I wrote this one after my dad chewed me out for failing to maintain a window.

Oh, I absolutely _adored_ this one, but I've already read it. Perfect choice though, exactly the kind of story I'm looking for.

When canceling your disney subscription, may I recommend listing your reason as 'other' and in the text field they give ya to list the reason, copy-paste as much of the US constitution as will fit.
