My new New Year's Resolution is to stop worrying whether my character names don't sound realistic because Oregon's football team has a kicker named Atticus Sappington. The fact that he's not doffing his top hat in the team photo is a shame.

I'm excited to co-announce with @shortwavebooks.bsky.social that I have a sci-fi horror novella titled CHIMERA SKIN coming. An alien messiah tries to uplift humankind and inadvertently unleashes the apocalypse. A mutated man of science is civilization's last defense.

Other Skies Books in St Paul was even better than I could have expected. It's an overwhelmingly cool space for horror literature lovers. The owner, Josh, is a fountain of information and ideas. I just stopped by to shop some and ended up eating an hour of his day talking horror.

Next book incoming... DEAD FIRST is a supernatural horror novel mixed with detective noir, a combo I've been in love with since I watched Angel Heart when I was far too young. Coming to you via @putnambooks.bsky.social and Daphne Durham.

Next year is the 25th anniversary of Deltron 3030. Legendary, door-opening blerd shit. Revisit now, or listen for the first time if you're unfamiliar. "In this modern metropolis that tries to lock us up Under preposterous laws; it's not for us"

With this week's Substack, I make the case that while clowns certainly can be scary, "scary clown" is not the redundant term many make it out to be. (Unless you actually have coulrophobia). johnnycompton.substack.com/p/fears-…
