Rolling out the Matt Christman quote from after Charlottesville (2017) again:
And that's what these guys are, these guys that marched in Charlottesville, these are the people who are aware of the unspoken premise of this sort of zombie neoliberalism that we're living in, which is that we're coming to a point where there's gonna be ecological catastrophe, and that it's gonna require either massive redistribution of the ill-gotten gains of the first world, or genocide. And these are the first people who have basically said, "Well if that's the choice, then I choose genocide", ", and they're getting everyone else ready, intellectually and emotionally, for why that's gonna be okay when it happens, why they're not really people. When we're putting all this money into more fucking walls and drones and bombs and guns to keep them away, so that we can watch them die with clear consciences, it's because we've been loaded with the ideology that these guys are now starting to express publicly.

find the book wherever books are found!

(and if you don't mind, please review it + spreading the word to other horror readers, weird fic fans, people who hate Thomas Hobbes, people looking for weird oceanic body horror, cult stories, surreal dreams and hate the Big Old Machine Eating Us All)

After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

We took on a powerful incumbent who was expected to coast to reelection.

We faced more corporate PAC money than has ever been spent attacking a candidate in a Seattle election.

We built a people-powered movement rooted in hope for our city’s future.

And we won.

This is YOUR city!

That’s my dude!
Screenshot of text from the linked article: “ Keith Rosson, whose latest novel Coffin Moon was released earlier this month, was the first to take action, saying: "A reader informed me that BL librarians were striking, and I looked into it, notifying the other participants. While I'm entirely confident that the British Library and their employees will reach a meaningful resolution, I have profound respect for librarians as a profession - I dedicated a recent novel to them - and won't cross a picket line."

The 6th story in THE JOINING is an earthy invitation. Love, or something else, is buried six feet deep. To find out which, dig 'til your hands bleed.

Thanks to Donn Hess for this story! THE JOINING: SCENES OF WEDDING TERROR comes out 12.12.25 from @crystallake.bsky.social!

Time to preorder your copy of TALES OF SLEY HOUSE 2025! Contributors got a sneak peek and I can tell you this is such a fun idea and they did it SO WELL! One thing we can all stand to have a little more of these days is fun and this anthology delivers.

www.sleyhouse.com/product-page...
The cover for Tales of Sley House 2025. On it are three sinister looking siblings, the Sley siblings, drawn in the style of the EC comic book series “Tales from the Crypt.” They’re in a cobwebby old manor with lightning behind them illuminating a dark figure on the other side of the window pane. The three of them are thumbing through old books, tending to fanged carnivorous plants, and admiring a radioactive looking green glowing skull. There are little bubbles like how vH1 used to do pop-up video that say “Come see the amazing holler owl!” “The coffee pots are empty and all the zombies are here!” and “A monster did it!”

Kind of funny that publishing solved the problem of people not buying novellas or story collections by simply calling them "novels." It totally works. Turns out people just really like the word "novel" I guess.

That Day Keith Rosson's #FolkSongsForTraumaSurgeons won the Shirley Jackson Award for best collection. Over. The. Moon. Superb Speculative Fiction. If you loved #FeverHouse and #DevilByName to get here, this is a good one to bridge the gap!
