Because I am sometimes a lucky bastard I have just finished reading DEVOURING GODS, the upcoming 2nd book of @jedediahberry.bsky.social's "The Barbaric Ledgers." You're probably going to want to preorder this one now, folks.

"It is pleasant, when one is distraught, to lie in the warmth of one’s bed, and there, with all effort and struggle at an end, even perhaps with one’s head under the blankets, surrender completely to howling, like branches in the autumn wind.” www.newyorker.com/books/page-t...

making me nervous. 3 days left and last stretch. in an age of slop conmen and seedy rights grabbers, feels all the more important to focus on the reliable mags we can trust. if you enjoy their work and are able, this is a good time to chip in. the best time even, some might say.

Personal hobbyhorse, but thinking about AI in publishing is really making me want criticism to go harder on discussing the actual style & substance of books. If we just talk about plot & vibes, we're leaving the door totally open, & missing out on the good stuff besides. "It's just words on a page."

...otherwise you might feel, as I just did, a horrible wet pop against the tip of your thumb. That pop is going to haunt me forever. Don't be haunted forever like me. Check your gloves, friends. Check them well for spiders and such. For your sake, and for theirs. Thank you.

Friends, a little PSA. You see a glove lying around someplace like a shed or a garage? And you decide to put that glove on? Listen. Turn that thing inside-out first. Give it a good old shake. Don't be like me and just shove it right on. Otherwise...

My new novel is out a week from today — tough timing because of the election & uh, you know, the world. With book reviews an extinct species, it's hard to get the word out. So tell your friends! Meanwhile, I've started the next one, folkish horror set in a bog at a remote Maine hunting camp. Onward!

"What I most want you to know about Andrea Hairston’s The Redemption Center Is Closed on Sunday is that it is both wondrous and intimidating." @mollytempleton.com reviews a novel both dizzying and expansive–the kind of book that makes you want to see the world and live in it:

Today is the day to commiserate with Charles Darwin, on the 161st anniversary of his confessing to Charles Lyell that he felt "...very poorly today & very stupid & I hate everyone & everything." Here's more of the back story on Darwin writing about this not-so-good day. www.npr.org/sections/kru...

I've discovered SO MANY books and authors on this app, the most recent being: Light Eaters by @zoeschlanger.bsky.social and Kill All Wizards by @jedediahberry.bsky.social Both of which are outstanding, I might add

The Light Eaters cover is matte black with a fluorescent colored flower and tendrils in pinks, purples and greens and yellows... "How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth"

Kill All Wizards cover is bright green featuring a cartoon barbarian with shaggy hair and an eyepatch , wearing a mauve suit, drinking tea and leaning on an enormous sword

THE SCARLET BALL, my dark fantasy novel due out on OCT 6, is set in an 1890 that never existed. During the 1890s, dip pens were still king, but the modern fountain pen was beginning to appear. This, I suspect, is a Beekman fountain pen from the late 1890s.

Hardback book, The Scarlet Ball, resting on a wooden table with a black fountain pen laid across it diagonally.

The Scarlet Ball features an Asian woman in a red dress holding a white skin mask as shadowy hands reach for her. The text on it reads:

THE SCARLET BALL

NGHI VO

The pen is black, with no clip or cap bands.
