Okay, this definitely has my curiosity piqued

The thing I love most about this is @briankeene.bsky.social and @cgolden.bsky.social both finally get to contribute stories to the King anthology format they pioneered. Hell yes.

Independent Legion Press is also not paying their authors or staff, or even giving its authors author copies. Ffs. JUST PAY YOUR AUTHORS

Onto the final edits of Even Gods Can Die (org. title: Back-Alley Kevorkian).

A melancholy crime novella set in the '90s about a detective who searches for a doctor performing assisted suicides. 1st non-horror/supernatural book.

It'll probably be DOA, but I like the story too much to let it rot

If you did these at a bigger scale and as a decor piece (?), I'd be all over it.

New newsletter, this time diving deeper into what splatterpunk means for today's readers, and why some still confuse the genre with extreme horror.

We Are All Misfits Now

I touched on this in my newsletter last week, but I think it bears repeating because there still seems to be some confusion between the Extreme Horror genre and Splatterpunk. I cannot emphasize this ...

In one month, you'll find out how far someone will go for the companion they love, and make you question if you would do the same.

These fkn pubs, man. Just pay your authors ffd

Beau Johnson 🇨🇦 🪓 @beaujohnson44.bsky.social · 8d

Do not buy my books from Amazon or Down and Out Books directly. I will not get paid. I should get paid, as per my contract, but in an email from D&O I’ve been told ‘no further payments will be issued.’
It absolutely blows it is ending this way, but man, pay your authors what they are owed.
