Jon’s God in the Hills books are awesome. I’m trying to get him to write a third.

That being said. If anyone has any trigger warnings. Probably not for them.

We don’t often dive into extreme horror, but if you like your horror a little F—d up—but still has something to say —Jon Steffens is absolutely your man. He was also the first author to ever trust me with their novella, so either way you feel about Filthy Loot, you have him to blame.

I've been driving for about 45 hours since Wednesday, but I'm now home, safe, and back at work. Had a bunch of fun at
@voidcon.bsky.social It was nice meeting everyone and seeing friends.

Now buy something so I can chip away at the debt from buying other people's books. 💔

Hitting the road soon for @voidcon.bsky.social!
I’ve been tabling for about three years now, and it still doesn’t feel like I’ve perfected what to bring. People who've been tabling longer, any things/tricks that have made your life easier?

Read @justinlutz.bsky.social Gone to Seed that @filthyloot.bsky.social put out, shout out Ira, and I had such a blast with this! The trigger control with these stories is wild. I felt frozen in place, in the fucking thick of it, then pop, the shit goes down at exact time it needs to for max effect

Also, if you’re a shop interested in carrying us…please send us a message.

I should start looking for places to stretch my legs on the way to @voidcon.bsky.social. I'm driving through:

Champaign, IL
Indianapolis, IN
Dayton/Columbus, OH

I'm not overly familiar with any of these cities. Any suggestions for anything horror-related? Also, books, museums, etc? TY

Haven't felt the need to post much recently. Pausing one project bc the voice is wrong and I need to recenter. Still working on other projects. Have some news I'll share at some point when I'm greenlit to do so.

In the meantime, I'll be at One of Us @filthyloot.bsky.social in a couple weeks 🤘💜💀
