Daniel P. Kennedy @danielpk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Heretofore unnoticed Easter egg in Nightmare on Elm Street: the church’s door and windows are Freddy’s glove. This shot occurs after Rod’s funeral. Before his own death, Rod told Nancy that four cuts appeared on Tina as he witnessed her murder. A finely crafted horror film. 000
Daniel P. Kennedy @danielpk.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Recent bookstore haul. Looking forward to checking out @theptessadactyl.bsky.social’s debut novel, The Jellyfish Problem. 121
Daniel P. Kennedy @danielpk.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Recently stumbled upon this drawing I did a while back. Reminds me of how much I used to enjoy drawing and how I’d like to learn proper technique some day. 010
Daniel P. Kennedy @danielpk.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Taught my first single-author course this semester. Proud of my graduate students for making it through this stack (we didn’t read the whole Border Trilogy—only All the Pretty Horses—but still, it was a lot). 020
Daniel P. Kennedy @danielpk.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Many thanks to Brandon Hobson and the editors of Puerto del Sol for giving my latest experiment, "Pale Wings," a home. Structured as a pseudo-YouTube video, the story unfolds in the comments. 000
Daniel P. Kennedy @danielpk.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Last week, my uni was fortunate to host Colson Whitehead as the keynote author for our annual writers conference. He was wonderful—funny, kind, and full of salient wisdom. It was an honor to conduct my first author interview with one of the best. 010

Daniel P. Kennedy @danielpk.bsky.social · 28/10/2025My comment on Scream, one of my all-time favorites, is a Times Pick: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/m... 000
Daniel P. Kennedy @danielpk.bsky.social · 10/10/2025Last night, I had the pleasure of hearing James Talarico speak and meeting him afterwards. #talaricofortx 010
Daniel P. Kennedy @danielpk.bsky.social · 30/04/2025It’s been humbling to connect with writers, wrestlers, and others who’ve read my Guardian piece. This, however, is surreal. One of my favorite actors, whose art and activism I admire in equal measure. Many thanks to the great @markruffalo.bsky.social for his kind words. 040
