What's your greatest attribute and weakness as a writer right now? I feel like I need to work on challenging myself more. But I'm very happy with my work ethic and productivity. What about you?

Short fiction is as fundamental to horror as one word paragraphs and dream sequences. This was a great collection—check it out.

Saw this for the first time last night and have to say it's incredibly slept on. Great flick, with fantastic a villain and lots of dark mayhem.

A lot has and will be said about @danielkraus.com ANGEL DOWN, but having just finished it this afternoon, I wanted to jot down some thoughts. First off, I loved it. THREAD

Rewatched THE DARK HALF last night and I have to say it might top my list of Stephen King adaptations. It's not an elevated classic like THE SHINING, but it does exactly what it sets out to do, totally unashamed of its genre leanings. An author's story... about an EVIL AUTHOR!

Which is insane considering this project was 100% community based. No slush, no acceptances, no rejections, no press. Anyone who dug the original story was welcome to participate. This is your sign to do something cool because you can.

I thiank that, by a *narrow* margin, this one edges out The Grimscribe's Puppets as the top Ligotti tribute antho, maybe because the singular focus brought in such an interesting array of perspectives on its theme story.

Publication day! 🥳🎉🙌 My collection "After You Were Lost" was published by WATG Press today. It's a collection that means a lot to me, and I'm excited that people will finally get to read it. All of the 23 flash and micro stories within deal with grief in different ways. Something I know much about.

Pleased to be apart of this collection, edited by CM Muller. I’ve already been hearing some great things about the stories held within. Excited to curl up and experience some night terrors.

Just a reminder, this is still happening! If you like bloody cosmic horror that feels like a meeting ground between Conan and the Evil Dead, with a hefty dose of philosophical pessimism, this is the book for you.

If your publisher uses AI art, they're bad at their job. Full stop. When a publisher claims they can't afford to invest in your cover art, what they're really saying is that they can't sell your book. /THREAD O'CLOCK
