I figured I could cast my voice recordings as school/airport style "announcements" into Sticky's room, and now I'm having too much fun with it.

Now here’s a kind of book I’ve never read before: Palestinian gothic horror, set in Haifa, and explicitly about the ‘48 Nakba and its consequences.

🕷🥩SMALL BITES🥩🕷 is out 11.11.26 via @spacecowboybooks.bsky.social. It's my rage novella about self-erasure and losing space in your own life, and if you preordered, I might not have to talk to the spiders. bookshop.org/a/197/978196...

Marketing is my passion. If you liked Motherthing, Tantrum, Nightbitch, and All's Well, you'll love SMALL NITES. "Gross and engrossing"! Look i made the red chills hold my cleaver, but I ate one and I only had four chilis.

I don't have my carving tools, just a blunt paring knife, but making pomelo lanterns keeps me from eating more mooncakes at this family mid-autumn dinner. 🌕🥮🍈

For my next trick, I will be taking this contemporary not-quite-genre novel, and making it literary by applying metaphor without "as", "is" and "like", and deleting every fourth word and fifth sentence.

Same goes for authors. You don't have to buy expensive hardcovers of our books. You can request them from your local library, tell your book clubs about them, read and review on netgalley, share and repost covers and quotes. These are things I'm encouraging people to do for THE FIST OF MEMORY.

Why aren't more books, especially novellas, printed with french flaps? We get that often with Chinese books and they're gorgeous. Probably cheaper to print than hardbacks too.
