Find people. Start making connections. Get comfortable with closeness. Be familiar. Be shameless. Join groups. Attend events. Write emails. Send messages. Introduce yourself constantly. Ask to be introduced to others. Invite yourself wherever you can. Demand access. Demand a presence. Show up.

The first assessment of THE SLIP has arrived, and it’s a starred review from Kirkus. I won’t play it cool—this was definitely on the writer bucket list! Grateful for their kind words. THE SLIP comes out 6/3 from @simonbooks.bsky.social!

Grateful to have been part of the Minneapolis stop on SGJ’s tour for THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER. Spectacular book, spectacular dude— “America’s most powerful weapon is forgetting.” - @sgj.bsky.social

When my grandfather was told that his son was killed, he said: “I know. The whippoorwills were out singing.” Whippoorwills’ songs are omens of loss. Their songs are also a way of remembering. My hope is that this novel is also a song of remembering.

IF THE DEAD BELONG HERE carries the loved ones I know, but it also carries a loved one I never met: my uncle Shane Lee Faust was taken by a terrible accident when he was fifteen. My grandma was told the night of his death & my aunts were tasked with telling my grandfather the following morning.

Excited and honored to share the cover art for my forthcoming novel: IF THE DEAD BELONG HERE, available 10/7/2025 from @vikingbooks.bsky.social. It features @christibelcourt.com's stunning piece entitled, “Bird Song,” which feels wholly tied to the heart of this book.

Book cover for IF THE DEAD BELONG HERE by Carson Faust, forthcoming October 7th, 2025 from Viking Books.

It was a relief, honestly, when I let the dumpster fire burn without me in it.

Today is publication day for Alejandro Heredia’s debut novel, LOCA. He is one of the most warm-hearted writers I’ve known & you’ll find a lot of that heart in these pages. Do yourself a favor and pick it up today—and tell your libraries to get it on their shelves. We need stories like his:

Cenko'lo'lo to all these new folks—woah! I write horror to make you scared, sad, and then hopeful. You may know my work from NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT, edited by @shanehawk.com & @tvayyyy.bsky.social. More to come on my debut novel, IF THE DEAD BELONG HERE, forthcoming from @vikingbooks.bsky.social!

Plenty of mystery and plenty of ghosts—I can’t wait to read 904! Got to read an early draft of @jonvhickey.bsky.social’s debut years ago and it’ll be amazing to reintroduce myself with those characters!

Carson Faust @carsonfaust.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

That’s the current thought! Fingers crossed!

An incomplete compilation of books I’m looking forward to this year—works from @jonvhickey.bsky.social, @erikatwurth.bsky.social, @thedennemichele.bsky.social, and Alejandro Heredia. Even if it won’t be a good year for everything, let it be a good one for books.

Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and yesterday I got to hand my grandma a book with a story I wrote about our people. It was inspired by her brother Berlin, who she lost before this photo of her with some of her siblings was taken.
