The first release from Mystic Monkey Press is one of my favorites! THE OCEAN DARK, originally written as "Jack Rogan." I've licensed the cover of the German edition by Samuel Araya. This is available now in paperback, hardcover, and ebook from most online booksellers.

I hate that we are living in times where it feels the only thing we can do is triage those affected. Where charity is the only weapon against the worst people in the world. But if you can fix something for someone today, please do it. A lot of folks are asking for help, maybe throw them some.

It’s been a while since I read Halcyon by @rioyouers.bsky.social but it suddenly feels somewhat prophetic, almost current events… it pops into my head regularly as it contains one of the best villains ever…!

Just a reminder that WESTLAKE SOUL is available on Audible and that you have never read anything like it before. Also, the narrator, Evan Greenberg, really nails Westlake's voice. People love this novel, and it's a great experience on audiobook. Give it a shot: www.audible.ca/pd/Westlake-...

I'm so sad about the passing of Rob Reiner & his wife Michele. Not only did Mr. Reiner direct some of my favorite films, he also rallied against unfairness and inequality and was never afraid to point a finger at those in charge. That makes him a hero in my book. RIP, Rob & Michele. You were loved.

I don't care how rare or special it is. I'm staying the fucking away from anything called a "white-knuckled wolf spider." www.bbc.com/news/article...

The team that found the tiny orange-legged arachnid have named it the white-knuckled wolf spider.

NO SECOND CHANCES by Rio Youers. Drop this novel on your phone or e-reader of choice for $1.99 (for a limited time, US only). It's better for your soul and your brain than doom scrolling. It's better than Candy Crush, too.

One of my favourite stories from the End of the World As We Know It anthology so far Keep The Devil Down by @rioyouers.bsky.social focuses on the incredible character of Elise, a complex and complicated person who is the essence of what The Stand is about - the desperate pull between good and evil

Photo taken of a page in The End of the World As We Know It, an anthology of short stories by various authors based on The Stand by Stephen King. This short story is called Keep The Devil Down by Rio Youers.

Cool fact: @stephenking.bsky.social loved this book, and I think you will, too. NO SECOND CHANCES is only $1.99 on e-book for a limited time. For that price, it'd be a damn shame to miss out.

I've been reading THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT slowly, savoring it to keep the stories from blending together. Just got to "Wrong Fucking Place, Wrong Fucking Time" by @crobertcargill.bsky.social, and holy hell, is that a standout. Can this be a movie? I want it to be a movie.
