Sometimes I get distracted in that fantasy where I imagine going back and reliving my life and doing everything right this time. But the truth is, the hard scary truth, is that I'd probably repeat every single fuck up.

hi! regarding our BEST TRANS HORROR OF THE YEAR reprint anthology. we are looking for authors who identify as trans only because we specifically want to platform (and pay) trans voices.

It is a fact that anytime Max posts outgoing orders, and one of my books is not included, Amelia Earhart vomits dirt into his home. Luckily, I spy CONJURING THE WITCH in there. Max's carpets are safe for another day.
we have a huge day of packing orders tomorrow (decrepit ritual & ghoulish tales 3 finally showed up tonight!) so if you wanted to make our workload even heavier (like, as a joke) you can go buy some cool spooky books here: ghoulish.rip

So. Are we all deleting Twitter? Leaving it as a placeholder? Is there a consensus?

Fan PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ME TAP THE SIGN.

You are not better just because you live in the North. Stahp joking about merging with Canada. Stop joking about throwing Florida in the ocean.

It helps no one.

I absolutely *loved* Conjusring the Witch by @jessicaleonard.bsky.social. Definitely my favorite small / indie press book I’ve read so far that was published in ‘23.

Only a week away from this awesome event! I'll be there!

Home alone today and living like a happy feral ghost. Snackys all day. Binging TV. Watching Instagram reels and stories. Randomly wandering outside. No agenda. I am my only god.

Conjuring the Witch from @jessicaleonard.bsky.social was excellent and put Antioch on my radar. And thanks to @ghoulish.bsky.social I've conjured Antioch into my reality.
